    [2019] NZCA 537
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    The conviction is upheld because the jury could rationally distinguish the shower incident from the other allegations based on its different circumstances and contemporaneous evidence (complainant's report to a nurse, nursing observations of controlling behaviour and the effect of the complainant's surgical wounds), so the verdicts are not logically irreconcilable and appellate intervention was not justified.
