In an appeal against conviction for offences of attempted rape and threats to kill, there was no good reason to admit, at trial, the transcript of another suspect's police interview in that the evidence contained within it amounted to hearsay and was accordingly inadmissible. For those reasons, the conviction would not be regarded as unsafe and was dismissed.
