Joinder and the late direction to acquit on Counts 2 and 3 did not prejudice D1 because the evidence relevant to those counts remained admissible and available on Count 1; the co‑conspirator rule justified use of certain out‑of‑court statements; any minor slips in the summing‑up were not material to the verdicts; however exceptional mitigating factors warranted reducing D1's sentence from four years to two years imprisonment.
