Summary created with AI assistance · Source: metro.co.uk
- Benjamin Field was convicted in August 2019 of murdering Peter Farquhar and sentenced to life imprisonment.
- His lawyers argued in March that there was no evidence Farquhar was forced or deceived into taking whisky and medication.
- Three judges quashed the conviction over defective directions to jurors and ordered a retrial.
- The CPS may take the case to the Supreme Court before any retrial; Field remains in prison meanwhile.
The directions effectively withdrew from the jury the question of whether Mr Farquhar’s decision to drink the whisky had been voluntary.— Lord Justice Edis, delivering the Court of Appeal ruling (with Justices Goose and Butcher) on Field's conviction.
