The judge's summing up was fair and balanced: provocation was not established on the evidence and the 4 August incident did not produce the necessary sudden and temporary loss of self-control; the limited good character direction was justified because discreditable matters undermined a full Vye direction; lies told by the applicant were properly left to the jury as supporting the prosecution if they were shown to be told to conceal involvement in the murder; accordingly the conviction was safe and the appeal dismissed, and the sentence appeal failed under authority cited.
