Khan Abdul v R

None of the disclosure failings or jury bias concerns raised by the applicant rendered the trial unfair or the convictions unsafe. The judge dealt appropriately with disclosure issues and jury bias allegations, and the post-conviction juror letter did not justify further investigation. There are no arguable grounds of appeal.
