    CACC204/2007

    Although the trial judge omitted a formal 'last straw' direction and a specific 'revenge' direction, the summing up comprehensively presented the applicant's account and the history of provocative conduct so the omissions were immaterial; there was strong evidence of murder and the conviction was neither unsafe nor unsatisfactory, therefore leave is granted but the appeal is dismissed.
