The Criminal Cases Review Commission referred a conviction for murder made in 1927.
Held: The Commission, and the court were to look for cases where the conviction was unsafe, for whatever reason. It was not part of that reasoning to take account of the fact that it had been a capital case. There was nothing here to undermine the safety of the verdict.
