- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was dismissed; the jury would have been prejudiced had it been informed of the applicant's prior offending and the applicant's account was implausible, and the Court of Appeal correctly imposed preventive detention given psychological evidence of high risk of reoffending and the need to protect the public with review after five years.
