Appellate court found the appellant’s testimony unreliable and the defence records showed both defendants instructed a bare denial and a strategy to put the prosecution to strict proof; no actual or realistic conflict of interest arose from joint representation; clerk should have disclosed plea letters but non‑disclosure did not prejudice trial fairness; counsel’s conduct did not amount to flagrant incompetence — appeal dismissed and conviction affirmed.
