The Court dismissed the applications: juror drowsiness did not invalidate the trial because the judge monitored and intervened and no counsel applied for discharge; the judge properly directed the jury on assessing credibility and on bad character exceptions; the evidence (including circumstantial) sufficed to support convictions; and the sentences, including 13 years for arson and a total of 14 years for D1, were within lawful bounds given multiple aggravating features.
