The trial judge erred in failing to give a Broadhurst direction where the Crown had repeatedly characterised the defendant's two‑year‑old cautioned statement as 'a tissue of lies' and used it to invite the jury to infer guilt; that material non‑direction rendered the conviction unsafe; the appeal must be allowed and the conviction quashed.
