The conviction stands because the trial judge gave adequate Turnbull directions and the circumstantial evidence (marked ransom traces, company with co‑defendants, handling and concealment of marked money) was sufficient to support guilt; the unrelated illustrative example about recent possession did not amount to misdirection; however, the sentence for D1 was reduced from 21 to 18 years because the five‑year gap with other offenders produced a manifestly excessive disparity on the facts.
