T (SC 8/2018) v R [2018] NZSC 31
- Citation
- [2018] NZSC 31
- Court
- Supreme Court
The Supreme Court refused leave because the Court of Appeal correctly held the co-defendant's convictions were relevant and their probative value was not outweighed by prejudicial risk; the Crown did not seek guilt by association and the trial judge's directions, while not ideal, were sufficient to prevent impermissible use, making no appearance of miscarriage of justice.
