[2009] EWCA Crim 348

A conviction could be quashed because of judicial interventions which invited the jury to disbelieve the evidence for the defence in such strong terms that they could not be cured by the judge subsequently telling the jury that the facts were for it to determine and it had to disregard anything that he might have said with which it disagreed.
