The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because there was no material prejudice from cross-examination about Cheng's prior statements given the applicant had signalled he would call Cheng; the trial judge properly directed the jury on the elements of kidnapping and the remark complained of was not disparaging; and no direction against drawing adverse inferences from co-offenders' convictions was required because those convictions were material to the applicant's defence and had been placed before the jury by the applicant himself.
