The Court held the trial judge acted properly: he observed and managed juror conduct and had no basis to discharge the jury; his directions on discrepancies between the record of interview and oral testimony were adequate; the allegations of neglect by trial counsel/solicitor were unsupported given the signed confirmations; the jury was entitled to accept the accomplice's evidence; and the sentence fell within the applicable guideline and was not manifestly excessive — accordingly leave to appeal against conviction and sentence was dismissed.
