The evidence against the appellant Thomas was threefold:
He was seen by two witnesses along with Christian about the time of the robbery;
The evidence of Jerry Christian who stated that it was the appellant who planned the robbery and that he handed the gun to the appellant prior to their going to the jewellery store. That it was the appellant who fired three shots at the deceased and that it was the appellant who killed the deceased;
A statement made to Clyde Hylton Talbot, a Police Detective from Jamaica, who was placed in the cell with the appellant Thomas. In this statement, the appellant admits
Appeal Argument The appellant was involved in the robbery at the Jewellery Store along with Christian. However, although admitting that he had the gun, he stated that when the deceased was coming towards him, he fired one shot in the air and that Christian grabbed the gun from him and fired three shots at the deceased, killing him. Three main grounds of appeal were argued: 1. The statement made to Detective Talbot by the appellant ought not to have been admitted in evidence; 2. The learned trial Judge failed to give full and proper directions on the issue of the identification evidence given by the witnesses Whittaker and Wilson; 3. The learned trial Judge failed to give a proper direction on alibi. ## Admissibility of Evidence Mr. Furey submitted that the witness Talbot was a person in authority and that the evidence was obtained by a trick. The
```html stement，effect wdm issible， ought not to have been admitted as the judicial if un d the probative value. At the t fthjection was taken by Counsel as to the isibility of the statement.

The app ellant was convicted and appealed on as ye regound that the court-martial ought， in its Detec ation， to have rejected the evidence.

The text on the page appears to be discussing the use of undercover operations in criminal investigations and the ethical considerations surrounding such practices. Here is a faithful transcription of the visible text, formatted as requested: --- **The material accused is not susceptible of close definition. The court must be judged of in the light of all the material facts and findings and all the surrounding circumstances. The position of the accused, the nature of the investigation, and the gravity or otherwise of the inspected offence may all be relevant. That is not to say that the standard of fairness must bear some sort of different proposition to the extent to which the public interest may be involved, but different offences may justify different problems for the police and justify different methods.** In R. v. Wright [1992] 1 Q.B. 979, the police evidence by themselves using an undercover operation. In giving the judgment of Lord Taylor of Gosforth stated: The trick was not an example which results in a W.I.R. of situations in which the police adopt ruses or devices to trap a blackmailer, the victim may be used as bait to catch the principal police officer. A trick, certainly, in a sense too, a trick which could reasonably be thought to involve self-incrimination; but not necessarily. Cases such as Reg. v.

```html 7 international drug trafficking in this part of the world poses a very serious problem indeed to the law enforcement agencies. It is clear, as the learned judge said, that the police were dealing with an "attempt to uncover clandestine large scale drug importation by an operator who was not personally engaged in the movement of the drugs", and as ord MacDermott said, "different offences may pose different problems for the police and justify different methods." Smith was not an agent provocateur in any sense of the term, nor was he a person in authority".

The document appears to be a legal text discussing the admissibility of confessions in court proceedings. Below is a faithful transcription of the visible content, formatted according to the specified guidelines: --- ### The Admissibility of Confessions The minority held that confessions are not admissible where to admit them would bring the administration of justice into disrepute or prejudice the public interest in the integrity of the judicial process. In the case of *Areokinan v. The Queen* [1969] 1 A.C. 20, the accused was charged with the offence of murder. On the instructions of the police, he was placed in a cell with the accused who told his friend Rend that he murdered one of the three men. The Court held that the evidence was admissible. In the case of *R. v. Bailey and another* [1993] 3 All ER 513, the accused was charged with the admissibility in evidence of a number of highly incriminating remarks, tantamount to admissions of guilt, made and tape-recorded during the course of conversations between the accused and R. They were sharing a bugged cell at a police station. The Court held that it was unfair to have admitted the tape-recorded conversation, as it was distinguished from the case of *R. v. Bailey and another*. In the case of *Carl Mason* [1988] 86 Cr. App. R. 349, the appellant was charged with arson. It was alleged that he had set fire to the car of a former girlfriend's father with whom he was on bad terms. Before his arrest, the police had no evidence connecting him with the car fire. Police officers decided to trick the appellant by telling him untruthfully that they had found one of his fingerprints on a bottle used in starting the fire. It was also revealed to the appellant's solicitor that the fingerprint had been found. The Solicitor advised the appellant to answer police questions and to claim his innocence in the incident, if any. The appellant then admitted that he filled the bottle used in the incident, one with petrol and of paint thinner. A friend had set the car alight for him, or was not present when it was done. The confession was not admissible. --- This transcription preserves the original text as faithfully as possible, including the case citations and the legal context.
```html was admitted sed hience. It was held that the trial judge had 9 wrongly exercised discretion when he failed to consider the deceit practised on the appellant and his solicitor， for if he had done so he would have bound to exclude the confession. As there was no other evidence conviction was quashed. In his judgment， Watkins， L.J. at page 354 stated： It is obvious from the undisputed evidence that the police practised a deceit not only upon the appellant， which was bad enough， but also upon the solicitor whose duty it was to advise him. In effect， they hoodwinked both client and solicitor. That was a most reprehensible thing to do. It is not however because we regard as misbehaviour of a serious kind conduct of that nature that we have come to the decision soon to cease making plain. This is not the place to discipline the police. That has been made clear here on a number of previous occasions. We are concerned with the application of the proper law. The law as I have already said， that a trial judge has a discretion to be exercised of course upon right principles to reject admissible evidence in the interests of a defendant having a fair trial. The judge in the present case appreciated what， as the quotation from his ruling shows. So the only question to be answered by this court is whether， having regard to the way the police behaved， the judge exercised that discretion correctly. In our judgment he did not. He omitted a vital factor from his consideration， namely the deceit practised upon the appellant's solicitor. In our judgment he had included that in his risk consideration of the matter we have not given the slightest doubt that he would have ruled out an opposite conclusion， and the jury not permitted therefore to hear of it. If that had been done， an acquittal would have followed for there was no other evidence in the possession of the prosecution. In the case of cewee-Yi-choi v. R. [1986] L.R.C. (Crim) 340， the applicant who was convicted on a charge of murder applied for leave to appeal， one of the grounds being that his confession had been obtained as a result of a police officer pretending to be a fellow prisoner and whilst in his cell， had discussions with ```
The Court of Appeal in Hong Kong held that the admission in evidence of a stoned confession, obtained as it was, breached the principles of law to secure fair trials. The trial Judge in such circumstances should have exercised his discretion in excluding the evidence. The Corial Judge did not think that he had a discretion to exercise. The Court also held that the Police Officer was a person in authority that held the fair. It further held that the admission in evidence of the applicant's confession did not comply with the principles which exist in law to secure fair trials and that the administration of justice was thereby brought into disrepute. In the judgment of the learned trial Judge in ruling that the evidence was inadmissible, he stated at page 5 of his ruling: "It does not appear that the evidence in question was obtained in a manner which was in accordance with the principles of law which exist to secure fair trials and that the administration of justice was thereby brought into disrepute." The learned trial Judge exercised his discretion in ruling that the evidence to be admitted was not admissible. The Court held that the evidence was inadmissible because it was obtained in a manner which was in accordance with the principles of law which exist to secure fair trials and that the administration of justice was thereby brought into disrepute.
```html In our view the police evidence was admissible. The appellant did not regard the prosecution as a person in authority. He, it was, who stated the confession and volunteered his involvement in the robbery and killing and it cannot be said that the discretion of the learned trial Judge was incorrectly exercised. 2. IDENTIFICATION EVIDENCE Mr. Furness submitted that the learned trial Judge failed to adequately take the jury on the Identification evidence given by the witnesses Wh and Wilson. He failed to tell the jury what the consequences of the jury did not accept the explanations given by the Tides as to their failure to point out the appellant at the Identification Parade. In direct evidence, the learned trial Judge at page 170 stated: Now we have various witnesses who identified Thomas but I must give you his warning on identification evidence. There is special need for caution, before convicting an accused person in reliance on the correctness of an identification. The reason for this is that it is quite possible for an honest witness to make a mistake and indeed notorious miscarriage of justice have occurred as a result of such a mistake. A mistaken witness can be a convincing one and even a number of apparently convincing witnesses can all be mistaken. You must examine carefully the circumstances in which the identification of each witness was made. How long did he have the person under observation? At what distance did he get a good look at his face? Was his view impeded in anyway? Had he ever seen the person before, and if so, how often? If only occasionally, did he leave any special reason for remembering him. How long elapsed between the original observation and the subsequent identification to police? And in this particular case, we also have the questioned integrity of the CA identification of two witnesses, who didn't point out the accused Thomas at an identification parade but who subsequently and out of his sight and low the trial failed to adequately direct the jury. This general election cannot be faulted. It was submitted, however, that with the evidence of the two witnesses, the learned trial Judge failed to adequately direct the jury. ```

[1992] 66 LJR 285, which reemphasizes the need for general warning and the importance of highlighting witness's evidence. The case is also an authority for the proposition hat (at page 289)： a did "The trial judge is not absolved the at from his or her duty to give general danger of convicting on and specific warning concerning the identification evidence because there is other evidence, which, if a accepted, is sufficient to convict the accused unless the Court of Criminal Appeal concludes that the the jury must inevitably have convicted the accused independently of the identification evidence, the ha inadequacy or lack of a warning ne concerning that evidence constitutes len a miscarriage of justice even though his the other evidence made a strong case against the accused."

ALIBI Mr. Furn if fitted that the learned trial Judge failed to tell the jury there count y rejected the alibi of the appellant, they could not on that .R. 20convict him but they should go back to the Crown's case. 19 The Court ferred to the case of The State v. Ori and Persaud [75] 22.W 1. sai In his de to the jury the learned trial Judge at page 190 ed : Thomas's defense is one of alibi which imply means, he says he was somewhere at the time the robbery took place. the burden of proof is on the prosecution the accused doesn't have to rove he was elsewhere. On the contrary is the prosecution to disprove he was elsewhere. Of course, the prosecution ave not only sought to direct evidence of citesses, and of course you have the widence of Christian which I shall come which puts him at the robbery. The prosecution also seeks to persuade you hat Thomas's explanation in itself is hentally unlikely, that it offends ommon sense said Mr. Smellie, for then for Christian to go off commit a robbery and murder with another person, ho some witnesses say is Thomas and lthers identify him as having some of homas's characteristics, and then for hristian to return to Thomas's company within a half of an hour or so of the obbery.

The document appears to be a legal document, possibly a court judgment or appeal decision. Here is a faithful transcription of the visible text, formatted as requested: --- **The Prosecution still establish his guilt.** Apart from evidence as to the visual identification, there was a good deal of evidence against Thomas. There was the evidence of a tape recording of what transpired in the cell at the police station. There was also the evidence of the co-accused Christian. This evidence clearly placed the appellant at the Jewellery Shop and his involvement in the killing of the deceased. There was clear evidence, which if believed, would result in the conviction of the appellant for the offence of murder. The jury affirmed the evidence in returning their verdict guilty. For these reasons, the appeal was dismissed and the convictions of the appellant were confirmed. --- The signature at the bottom of the document is not transcribed as it is not part of the text.
