[2009] EWCA Crim 2031

Where an appellant failed to demonstrate a logical inconsistency between verdicts on two similar counts in circumstances where he had been convicted on one count and acquitted on the other, it was not for the appeal court to seek to explain the verdicts. Merely showing that the verdicts were surprising was not enough to make the conviction unsafe.
