The appellate court allowed the appeal and set aside the conviction because cumulative defects (an irregular and prejudicial identification parade, material inconsistencies in the victim's testimony including intoxication, non‑production of a significant portion of CCTV footage permitting an adverse inference, and absence of the appellant's DNA on the victim) together raised a reasonable doubt as to guilt such that the conviction was unsafe; appellant acquitted and discharged.
