[2009] EWCA Crim 1718

The conviction of two men for the murder of a woman could not be impugned on appeal on the basis of the admission of bad character evidence or impeachable jury directions. The judge had been entitled to leave to the jury the question of whether one of the offenders had been more than a mere bystander but had encouraged the other to strangle the woman.
