    CACC461/2009

    Leave to appeal dismissed because the applicant had admitted voluntariness of his interview answers and produced no evidence of assault or compromised legal instructions; the trial judge properly and balancedly reminded the jury of the applicant's testimony including his stated trust in a fellow Filipino; the summing-up was not biased and the challenged paragraph was a permissible consideration for assessing knowledge; the verdict was open on the evidence given the inherent implausibility of the applicant's account.
