    Conviction was safe because there was no evidence that the appellant might have held an innocent belief and the psychiatrists' opinions were based on untested assertions; the determination of whether the appellant believed the deposit slip to be genuine was a matter for the judge who was entitled to reject the experts' assumptions. The sentence was not manifestly excessive given aggravating factors including the huge sum, planning and international element.
