Counts 1 and 2 were quashed because there was no direct admissible evidence proving an attempted robbery or that a firearm was possessed in the course of that robbery; a no‑case submission would have succeeded. Count 6 (possession of a firearm on 15 April 1988) was supported by evidence and upheld. The joinder irregularity did not by itself require quashing because defence counsel had consented and the judge properly directed the jury to treat incidents separately.
