Failure of the trial process to address the unexplained 65‑minute detention in the laneway created a lurking doubt as to the safety of the conviction for possession (and, because Exh. P6 was a key plank linking the accused to recognizing the officers as police, that doubt extended to the assault convictions); breaches of the Rules and Directions were minor and not dispositive, but the unresolved detention issue undermined overall credibility and warranted quashing all convictions without ordering a retrial.
