Jubraeel v R [2015] NSWCCA 131
The directions given by the trial judge were sufficient to convey to the jury the need to acquit if the applicant's alibi raised a reasonable doubt, and there was no miscarriage of justice. The jury was properly instructed, and the verdict was not unreasonable or unsupported by the evidence, as Ms Bas' testimony, corroborated by particular details, justified the finding of guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
