The trial judge correctly found the contested videoed interviews and reconstructions to be voluntary and admissible; breaches of the Rules and Directions do not automatically render a confession inadmissible and exclusion for unfairness is a rare residual discretion which was properly not exercised; permitting the complainant to give evidence by video link under s79B(4) CPO was a proper exercise of judicial discretion. Therefore the convictions are safe and leave to appeal is dismissed.
