The judge's directions were adequate to require the jury to be satisfied the admissions were made and true; the threshold for using an accomplice's acquittal to impeach credibility under Wong Sau Ming was not met; the fleeting mention of absconding was properly left unemphasised in the exercise of judicial discretion; any stay application based on missing transcripts would have failed due to the applicant's absconding and therefore no prejudice arose, so the leave application was without merit and dismissed with three months loss of time under s83W CPO.
