The conviction is safe because the magistrate properly admitted and treated the cautioned interviews (effectively as mixed for admission) and lawfully weighed their limited exculpatory content, properly preferred the contemporaneous examining medical evidence over the qualified retrospective defence opinion, and made rational credibility findings; sentencing discretion was exercised but the Court reduced the sentence on mitigation grounds to five months' imprisonment while upholding the conviction.
