The appeal succeeded because the trial judge did not fairly and properly put the defence case (notably the contextual significance of the slippers video and the full WeChat communications) to the jury; that omission, together with inaccurate comments on material evidence, deprived the jury of an adequate opportunity to consider the defence and amounted to a miscarriage of justice warranting quashing of the conviction, setting aside the sentence and ordering a retrial.
