The Court held that pre‑charge customised statements were admissible as contextual evidence; although the trial judge failed to give a credibility limb of the good‑character direction this was a material irregularity, but applying the proviso to section 83(1) CPO the convictions were nevertheless safe because the judge’s findings rejecting the applicant’s exculpatory accounts were supported by overwhelming and compelling evidence; the sentence of 42 months was appropriate and the appeal against sentence was refused.
