The conviction was unsafe because the jury's inconsistent treatment of co-accused combined with a trial judge's erroneous direction on the treatment of mixed statements (failing to allow the jury fairly to evaluate exculpatory material alongside admissions, as required by Sharp) undermined the safety of the conviction; appeal allowed, conviction quashed.
