[2004] EWCA Crim 1121

The defendant's conviction for causing grievous bodily harm with intent was safe as the trial advocate was right in deciding not to call evidence from an expert in facial mapping, as his evidence was likely to be undermined in cross-examination in a way that would cause severe damage to the defendant's case.
