Applications for severance were dismissed because, on the evidence and given a judge-only trial, no real prejudice would arise from joint trial provided great care is exercised; the court found beyond reasonable doubt that the prosecution had proved a single continuing conspiracy to traffic heroin into H.M. Prison, Stanley, and accepted that, despite many witnesses being accomplices or of bad character, their testimony (except specified hostile witnesses) was sufficiently reliable to support conviction when scrutinised and considered in context.
