The Court held that none of the six grounds against conviction established unfairness: the judge's questions and summing up were within permissible bounds and balanced; prosecuting counsel's closing remarks did not cross permissible limits; no failure to give an adequate Liberato direction; the jury were properly directed on credibility and burden; sentencing aggregation of 733g to a 21‑year starting point was consistent with authority and the sentence was appropriate; applications for leave to appeal conviction and sentence were dismissed.
