Where there is defence evidence three possible conclusions can come of it. One conclusion is that the Judge finds that the defence evidence on a key element or elements is credi\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
ble and reliable and a convincing answer to the Crown's evidence. If that is the Judge's view, then the verdict would be not guilty. Another possibility is that the Judge finds that although the defence evidence is not entirely convincing, it leaves the J
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 u\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
dge unsure of just what the real position was. In other words, it raises a reasonable doubt in the Judge's mind. If that is so, then it follows that the verdict would be not guilty. The third possibility is that the Judge finds the defence evidence is unc
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 o\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
nvincing and rejects it as unworthy of belief. If that is the Judge's view, the Judge should be careful not to jump from that conclusion to an automatic conclusion of guilt, or even regard that as adding to the case against the defendant. The Judge should
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 go back to the rest of the evidence and ask whether, on the basis of that evidence, he or she is satisfied of guilt beyond reasonable doubt.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

The other evidence which the Crown submits supports Mr Areai's ev\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
idence starts with what Mr Ruffin described as background evidence from Mr George Pitt. Mr Pitt was employed for about a year as an advisor to Mr George when he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister in November 1999. He said he discussed with Mr George how 
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 t\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 o raise money for election campaigns and told him of a concept called cross-check transactions which}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid13440536 \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  }

involved approaching businesses and people to whom the Government had probably shown favour or who had benefited from Government purchases or business and \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
asking them to return the favour by contributing to campaign funds. Also, by getting part of the commission earned on the supply of articles to the Government. Mr Pitt did not assist Mr George by implementing these processes for him and did not know wheth
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 e\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
r Mr George did so. The concept of politicians obtaining campaign donations from people who have been given, or hope for, favourable Government treatment is well known and is not necessarily unlawful. I find that Mr Pitt's evidence has no probative value
