The trial judge's directions were, on the whole, adequate as to knowledge and credibility; although the flight direction was not fuller as recommended in Mo Shiu Shing, that deficiency was harmless because there was no innocent explanation for flight and the nexus between possession and other evidence made the verdict inevitable; therefore the proviso to s.83(1) CPO applies and the appeal is dismissed, conviction and 20‑year sentence affirmed.
