MCLEAN v R [2022] NZCA 114
- Citation
- [2022] NZCA 114
- Court
- Court of Appeal
The medical material in the Agreed Facts was properly admitted because it neutralised the complainant's account of anal bleeding by providing an alternative medical explanation and recorded that the examination did not prove or disprove assault; the counterintuitive evidence was admissible and appropriately generic because it addressed live issues of delayed complaint and offending in proximity to others and was correctly directed to the jury as educative and neutral; no miscarriage of justice arose, appeal dismissed.
