Trial judge misdirected by rejecting a properly notified alibi at close of prosecution; prosecution failed to investigate or rebut the alibi (including failure to secure CCTV and to call the original investigating officer) and there was no positive identification by the child; cumulative defects made the conviction unsafe and appellate court quashed the conviction and acquitted the appellant.
