Convictions were upheld because the judge properly identified discrepancies and cautioned the jury about accomplice evidence and the jury were entitled to accept the Crown evidence; however the custodial sentences were inappropriate for these juvenile offenders where the victim was of about the same age and, given the circumstances, detention in a training centre was the proper disposition, so the Court quashed the imprisonment sentences and ordered training centre detention.
