Three judges will then decide to either quash the conviction, reject the appeal or order a retrial. |
I am therefore of the view that it is not appropriate to substitute a verdict of acquittal for the conviction. |
The jury convicted and the Court of Appeal refused to quash the conviction. |
His thin arms waggled around in the air balancing himself on on his stool as he laughed with conviction at everything. |
If on the other hand, at least a majority of the judges consider the evidence too weak for a conviction, they must acquit. |
For the reasons set out in the judgment which is handed down we allow this appeal and quash the conviction. |
