- Court of Appeal
Given the context the inadvertent references to prior offending were of limited relevance and not so prejudicial as to cause a miscarriage of justice; the photo‑board was properly used given the complainant's limited prior contact and uncertainty of identity; and the prosecutor's remarks were legitimate comparisons of evidential weight rather than impermissible comment on the defendant's silence, therefore no relief was warranted and the appeal is dismissed.
