The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal regarding the evidentiary weight of a confession admitted during pre-trial proceedings but withdrawn at trial. The applicant argued the withdrawn confession should be disregarded, while the prosecution contended it remained relevant context. The court decided that the admission of evidence in the leave-to-appeal document does not restrict the Supreme Court's independent assessment of facts or evidence during the final review.
