Conviction unsafe because the trial judge admitted and misdirected the jury about crucial prior statements and deposition of the key witness (PW39), failed to give adequate directions as to the permissible use of those documents and failed sufficiently to protect against prejudice from critical corroboration issues; these errors undermined the reliability of the jury's verdict and the convictions could not stand.
