Convictions quashed because the trial judge improperly treated the appellant's failure to give evidence as strengthening the Crown's case and thereby risked bolstering a weak prosecution contrary to the principle that the burden of proof remains with the Crown; verdicts were held not to be inconsistent and omission to set out circumstantial evidence principles did not itself warrant overturning convictions.
