    The Court held the applicant's murder conviction was sustainable because the jury could permissibly find a joint enterprise to apply substances while attributing differing mens rea to participants; the judge did not err in redacting irrelevant portions of the applicant's VRIs, was entitled to withhold a formal good‑character direction given the applicant's admissions of dishonesty, and adequately presented the defence expert evidence regarding injections not causing death; accordingly there was no legal or factual basis to disturb the conviction.
