Although the trial judge omitted a voir dire on the oral admission (error of law), the appellate court concluded that the omission caused no miscarriage of justice on the facts; the post-recording and record of interview were properly admissible and the cotton-swab contact evidence was fairly obtained and properly left to the jury with directions; the additional medical report was marginal and obtainable with reasonable diligence; surveillance, identification and keys issues were matters for the jury; accordingly the proviso to s.83(1) CPO is applied and the convictions are safe and affirmed.
