R v Ali [2000] NSWCCA 177

R v Ali [2000] NSWCCA 177

All grounds of appeal fail as directions given by the trial judge properly limited the use of prior consistent and inconsistent statements; appellant's counsel made tactical decisions not to object; the evidence admitted and directions given were proper under the Evidence Act. Even if leave to appeal was granted, the outcome would not have been different.
