[2011] EWCA Crim 1199
At a trial involving large scale conspiracies in relation to firearms, the admission of evidence, which it transpired was inadmissible, did not render the conviction unsafe. The judge, who had acknowledged the risk of prejudice to the offender, had given adequate and clear directions about what evidence was relevant and what was not and any prejudice was therefore avoided.
