The trial judge committed reviewable error by improperly rejecting and inadequately testing the defence expert's evidence of mild intellectual disability and adaptive impairment, and by preventing full exploration of the reliability of the tests; that error undermined the safety of the conviction because the appellant's mental condition bore directly on the voluntariness and reliability of his admissions and the weight to be given to the identification evidence, therefore the conviction was quashed.
