Regina v Thirwell: CACD 14 Feb 2002

The defendant appealed his conviction for murder. He said that three pieces of evidence should have been excluded. The police station interview had been conducted against a background where his solicitor had been denied access to a post mortem report. However no deceit had been practised on the solicitor. The objection to the use of reported prison conversations was unsuccessful, and the judge had dealt properly with facts about the condition of the deceased immediately before death. Appeal dismissed.
