R v DEREK ROY HEWLETT (2008)

[2008] EWCA Crim 270

A defendant had not received a fair trial where the judge appeared to have pre-judged an application to exclude identification evidence on the basis that it was supported by bad character evidence of previous convictions and that it therefore indicated guilt of the offences charged.
