HIS HONOUR:

  1. I consider that Mr Rapke is entitled to have Exhibit 91 (for identification) played during his final address as he professionally judges appropriate.

  1. I consider that if the jury ask a question during their deliberations and wish to hear that part of the evidence of Professor Butcher at pp.6450-6452 they are entitled to have Exhibit 91 (for identification) played in being reminded of that evidence.

  1. I would like to consider further whether Exhibit 91 should be tendered absolutely.  I think some questions of law arise in relation to it and I would like to reflect overnight upon whether it properly can be tendered absolutely.
