    Court
    Court of Appeal

    CACC260/2006

    The convictions were upheld because the totality of circumstantial items in the applicant's possession (bank letters including one with his thumbprint, laminated card linking areas/names/access codes, keys opening implicated premises, numerous cut bank/credit cards and a typewriter) and the applicant's implausible and demonstrably untrue explanations left no reasonable innocent inference; sentence for D1 in the second appeal was reduced to remedy unjustifiable disparity and to achieve appropriate totality.
