[2012] EWCA Crim 702

A conviction on a count of attempted murder was safe as the wording of the judge's answer to the jury's request for further guidance on the standard of proof did not amount to a misdirection, and throughout the summing up as whole the jury was repeatedly told it must be sure of the appellant's guilt before it could convict.
