[2012] UKPC 26

In deciding to reduce a sentence rather than quash a conviction despite there having been inordinate delay in criminal proceedings, the Court of Appeal of Jamaica had not erred in confining its consideration to delay between conviction and appeal where the evidence did not indicate that delay before trial had been an issue before the Court of Appeal.
