On the facts and reading the summing up as a whole, there was no misdirection on burden or standard of proof; the judge correctly limited the use of prior statements to credibility; directions on mistaken belief were unnecessary because no evidential basis existed and could only have advantaged the appellant; the inconsistencies did not create a lurking doubt and the jury verdict was safe, therefore the application to appeal was dismissed and conviction upheld.
