- Court of Appeal
The Judge's directions cumulatively and materially distorted the jury's assessment of credibility and opportunity by unduly endorsing the expert, downplaying opportunity for Count 5 and giving unbalanced treatment to prior lies and demeanour; this created a real risk of miscarriage of justice, requiring quashing of convictions on counts 3, 4 and 5 and ordering a new trial.
