The convictions were safe: the identification evidence was sufficient to go to the jury; the judge's Turnbull direction was adequate; a separate corroboration warning was unnecessary because the rape was admitted and only identity was in issue; no special alibi direction was required beyond the clear general burden direction; the diary was tendered by defence and therefore not prejudicial; the sentences, while heavy, were appropriate and Billam guidelines are not binding in Hong Kong.
