The Court of Appeal upheld sentences for a large-scale cocaine and cannabis conspiracy, refusing renewed applications against sentence from four defendants.

Mohammed, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 340 (05 March 2026)
The Court of Appeal upheld Riaz Mohammed’s drug-conspiracy convictions, holding the judge was right to refuse the jury copies of defence speeches and no unfairness arose.
The appellant's personal mitigation was not materially different from co-defendants, and the sentencing judge properly considered all relevant factors. The sentence imposed was within the applicable range and appropriate for the offending; no basis for disparity or suspension was established.

Roberts, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 76 (22 January 2026)
The Court of Appeal dismissed a sentence appeal in a cannabis conspiracy case, finding no material disparity with co-defendants and no basis to suspend the term.
The sentence imposed was within the guideline range, properly reflected aggravating and mitigating factors, and the disparity with co-defendants was justified by their lesser roles and early guilty pleas; no error in approach or structuring of sentences.

Morphew, R. v [2025] EWCA Crim 1246 (02 September 2025)
The Court of Appeal dismissed a sentence appeal for conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis, holding that delay, disparity, and role assessment were properly handled.
The sentences imposed reflected the seriousness and commercial scale of the conspiracy, justifying departure from the guideline. Williams' consecutive sentence for supply to Takawira was inappropriate and should run concurrently. Takawira's sentence was not manifestly excessive, but credit for guilty plea on transferring criminal property was due and sentence reduced accordingly.
