The conviction was quashed because the lies direction given was inappropriate in the circumstances and rendered the conviction unsafe; the judge’s response to the jury’s broad request for audio recordings was lawful and adequate (offering to remind from notes) and did not itself justify overturning the conviction; a retrial on a fresh indictment before a different judge was ordered in the interests of justice.
