- Court of Appeal
Extension of time to appeal granted; on the forensic facts the Court concluded the edited transcript (with prejudicial passages deleted) was the exhibit given to the jury and no miscarriage of justice arose; alleged counsel errors were tactical or not shown to have undermined the verdict and therefore did not render it unsafe; sentence fell within an appropriate band but the District Court Judge's reasons did not justify imposing a minimum period under s86, so the minimum period was quashed and the remainder of the sentence was confirmed.
