Anda v R [2022] NSWCCA 29
The conviction was not inconsistent with the acquittal of the co-accused, as the 'in company' element aggravates but does not extend liability, and the jury could rationally find different verdicts. Any defect in the indictment was technical and did not result in a miscarriage of justice.
