The High Court dismissed the appeals because the earlier High Court order had established a prima facie case and the appellants' defence failed to create reasonable doubt; the appellate court must defer to trial findings on credibility and factual matters and there was no legal error or manifest unsafety in the convictions or in the sentences, which were not manifestly excessive.
