The appeal for leave was refused because the trial judge's directions were legally sound: advising the jury to use commonsense did not reduce the 'beyond reasonable doubt' standard; prior inconsistent statements were correctly confined to assessing the accomplice's credibility; the negative ferrozine test was irrelevant given the time lapse and the expert's explanation; and the judge's acquittal of one co‑accused did not improperly prejudice the remaining accused.
