The evidence as a whole provided a prima facie case that the conspiracy was to rob and it was open to the jury to infer that intention; the judge's misdirection equating presence with charge or control for the statutory presumption was an error but harmless because a properly directed jury could and would have found joint possession/control; therefore convictions were upheld; sentences for conspiracy (10 years) were appropriate and certain firearms sentences were adjusted on appeal to reflect pleas and parity.
