The Court held the trial judge did not misdirect the jury: the judge correctly treated Chan's and Tam's suspicions as part of a broader corroborative matrix (including steps taken on suspicion and the applicant's inaction) rather than as bare evidence, so the convictions were not unsafe. On sentence, the limited discount for waiver of extradition/specialty was appropriate on the facts, specialty did not materially alter culpability, and the overall sentence was justified and not excessive.
