Although the judge made an isolated remark that 'sure' did not mean 100% sure, the summing‑up as a whole repeatedly and correctly equated 'sure' with 'satisfied beyond reasonable doubt' and warned jurors to acquit if not sure; the remark did not lower the standard or render convictions unsafe, and alleged judicial interventions and minor summarisation issues did not impair trial fairness, so the appeal against conviction is dismissed.
