The judge's failure, after the jury posed multiple questions bearing directly on the defendant's credibility, to re‑emphasise that if the defendant's account is true or possibly true the jury must acquit, combined with the judge's omission to require an evidential foundation before permitting the jury to treat alleged lies and concealments as proof of the drug offence, rendered the conviction unsafe; appeal allowed and conviction quashed.
