[2009] EWCA Crim 462

Where defendants had pleaded guilty and thereby admitted their guilt, it was a misconception for them to argue on appeal that their convictions were unsafe because of the wrongful admission of prosecution evidence at trial, since that evidence did not deprive them of a legal escape from conviction and there had therefore been no abuse of process.
