    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC438/1991

    The Court held the summing-up was adequate: the judge correctly explained the burden of proof and the defendant's lack of obligation to testify, his comments on the mother's unsupported alibi evidence did not impose a burden on the defendant or mislead the jury, his remark about a cocked gun was a permissible comment rather than a direction, and in all the convictions were safe; the 20-year total sentence was not manifestly excessive.
