[2007] EWCA Crim 1165

A conviction for conspiracy to launder the proceeds of drug sales was unsafe in circumstances where the judge had failed to warn the jury to approach with caution the evidence of an accomplice who had given no viable explanation for why he had not implicated the defendant in his police witness statements but had implicated him extensively in his evidence at trial.
