[2008] EWCA Crim 963

Convictions for two counts of sexual assault of a child under 13 and a count of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child were unsafe, as the judge's summing up of the evidence, which had been couched in such a way as to suggest the answers to the questions posed by various issues in the case, had failed to strike a fair balance between the prosecution case and the defence case.
