The application for a permanent stay is dismissed because, on the evidence, the publicity was sensational but not of such a nature or enduring effect that it would, on the balance of probabilities, prevent a fair trial; jurors can be expected to follow judicial directions and any prejudicial effect is insufficient to justify the exceptional remedy of a permanent stay.
