The judge’s directions were legally adequate: the jury was properly directed that proof of knowledge required certainty beyond suspicion and that circumstantial evidence could only sustain a conviction if it yielded the only reasonable inference; directions on bipolar disorder were supported by evidence and did not improperly suggest propensity to offend; therefore there was no arguable misdirection and the application for leave to appeal against conviction was dismissed.
