- Court of Appeal
The appellate court dismissed the appeal because the jury were entitled to rely on the detailed EVI notwithstanding the complainant's equivocal oral evidence, there was a reasonable evidential basis for the guilty verdict on charge 12, the judge's answers on withdrawn consent were correct and not speculative, and jury fatigue was not shown to have caused a miscarriage of justice.
