A defence statement says: “The defence reserves all points under PACE and the Criminal Justice Act.” The prosecution relies on a recorded admission made by Ada Price between 09:12 and 09:18 after she repeatedly asked for an interpreter. Diagnose the defect and identify the three matters a compliant legal-point paragraph should state.
Police rely on Ben Ho's interview confession. Ben says severe sleep deprivation and repeated promises of immediate release made any resulting confession unreliable; he also says admission would make the proceedings unfair. Draft two short signposting sentences that keep PACE sections 76(2)(b) and 78 separate.
A prosecution transcript is 96 pages long. The defence challenges only an alleged admission by Yasmin Cole at pages 44–46 and audio timestamps 01:08:10–01:12:30. Draft the opening sentence of the defence-statement legal point so the challenged material is unambiguous.
Jon Bell's custody record shows a request for legal advice at 18:10, refusal recorded at 18:25 without reasons, and interview commencing at 18:32. Draft one measured factual-foundation sentence for a PACE section 78 signpost without stating that exclusion is automatic.
The defence statement challenges an interview because Kim Vale appeared disoriented and asked for medical assistance before questioning. Identify three specific material categories that the legal-point paragraph can connect to that challenge, avoiding a request for every custody document.
The prosecution relies on an identification made after police showed witness Rosa King a single social-media photograph of defendant Callum Gray. Callum disputes identification and the papers disclose no formal identification record. Draft two defence-statement legal-point paragraphs: one identifying the intended PACE Code D and section 78 challenge and its factual basis; the other identifying the targeted records relevant to that challenge. Do not draft the later exclusion application.
