The Court allowed the Secretary for Justice's appeal concerning D1: the trial judge erred by failing to integrate admitted property and environmental evidence with identification material, producing a perverse acquittal; the convictions and sentences of D5, D6 and D7 were supported by the cumulative visual and witness evidence and are upheld; D8's conviction and sentence were quashed because the trial judge wrongly required the defendant to perform movements/expose teeth during the trial and relied on that compelled assistance for identification, rendering the conviction unsafe.
