The court held that D1 was not denied the fundamental right to cross-examine because he had a full opportunity to cross-examine the witness and was forewarned of the contents of the statement; further cross-examination would not have produced material advantage. The court also held that D2's post-sentence, substantial cooperation (multiple statements and key trial testimony leading to convictions of others) justified granting leave out of time, treating the application as an appeal and reducing the sentence from seven to five years imprisonment.
