The Court held the Lucas lies direction was unnecessary in the case's facts but not materially prejudicial; the judge's directions on interview admissions, burden and the need to acquit if the defence account may be true were adequate; the recklessness direction conformed to the subjective standard and was correct; conviction therefore stands but the sentence of 7 years was manifestly excessive and is substituted with 5 years 6 months imprisonment.
