    Majority held the trial judge's directions on joint enterprise and secondary liability were adequate and properly tailored to the factual matrix; the directions conveyed the requisite requirement that a secondary participant who continued to participate after awareness that a knife was being used could be convicted, and no additional requirement (such as opportunity to disassociate) was necessary; therefore the appeals were dismissed and convictions upheld.
