Absence of a mandatory shorthand or mechanical recorder in the District Court does not automatically breach Article 11(4); it is sufficient that the trial judge provide an accurate record in a form he directs and that the Court of Appeal is furnished an adequate transcript enabling proper review. Where the trial judge, having applied identification principles and seen and heard witnesses, identifies some reliable identifications and corrects transcript errors, the convictions will not be set aside as unsafe absent overwhelming contrary indications.
