R v Howell Supports Mixed Approach Reduces Probative Value
“Supporting Case: R v Howell [2003] EWCA Crim 486 ⭐ Why it helps The Court of Appeal held that where a suspect gives inconsistent or partial answers after being advised to remain silent, the court must consider: whether the suspect was confused, whether they were trying to follow legal advice, and whether their partial answers are reliable. This supports your argument that Dustin’s mixed approach (some “no comment”, some answers) reduces the probative value of what he did say.”
Summary
The Court of Appeal in R v Howell (2003) confirmed that when a suspect gives inconsistent or partial answers after being advised to remain silent, the court must assess whether the suspect was confused, whether they were attempting to follow legal advice, and the reliability of those partial answers. This principle directly backs the argument that Dustin’s mixed approach diminishes the probative value of his statements.
