On rehearing the High Court concluded that, taking the appellant's personal circumstances (being a victim of romance scams, borderline/low average intelligence, strong desire for relationship and conduct of handing over card and PIN) and the short duration/amount and pattern of withdrawals into account, a reasonable person in the appellant's position would not necessarily have had grounds to believe the deposited funds were proceeds of crime; the evidence did not establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt, therefore conviction unsafe and overturned.
