The Court held the convictions were safe: the trial judge gave adequate warnings about accomplice evidence and left critical matters to the jury, the identification evidence and corroboration were sufficient in the context, the Turnbull guidelines were not mandatory in the circumstances, manslaughter was not a viable alternative on the evidence, and directions on common intent and accessory liability were adequate; therefore the appeals were dismissed.
