The defendant appealed a conviction for supplying heroin. He had been present at different stages of what was a supply of a substantial amount of the drug, but was at no time seen in possession either of the drug or money. The main prosecution witness, a co-defendant had subsequently been shown to have lied, and evidence to support that had been withheld from the defence.
