Lord Justice Moses :
Introduction
Relevant Principles
"It seems to me…that the jury will be able to consider what they make of those discrepancies and how it affects their view of those Counts."
Counts 1 and 2
Count 6: George Robson
"I ate it. I tried to get in the kitchen, but the table I was sat, they used to sit right by the kitchen door, so I've gone to get in the kitchen, he (GeorgeRobson
) spotted me and he was said he was sick of me being sick and to go back and eat it."
He said, in answer to the question:-
"You did not vomit it out?"
A. "I had swallowed it, but it wasn't like what you'd call a night on the lash, no."
Q. "So you say you regurgitated food. Is that right?"
A. "Regurgitated, sick."
"As I was walking into the kitchen,Robson
clocked me, and told me to sit back down and finish it off."
Q. "That is all he said?"
A. "Basically."
Q. "Right. He told you to finish off your meal Mr Matthewson?"
A. "If that's the way you want to put it Sir, yes."
Counts 7, 8 and 9
"I can't specifically remember whether or not it was MrRobson
or whether or not it was Mr Wilson, but I do remember we were told to get them."
