The Court held the trial judge correctly ruled there was a case to answer on the rape count because circumstantial and witness evidence could support a jury finding that intercourse occurred and that the defendant admitted it; evidence that the defendant spiked the victim's drink was admissible to prove the defendant knew or believed the victim was incapable of consenting and did not impermissibly relitigate the acquitted administering drugs charge, therefore the conviction for rape was safe and the application to appeal was dismissed.
