- Court of Appeal
The Court held the jury verdict was not unreasonable because, viewed in totality, the phone communications and prison staff evidence provided a sufficient evidential foundation for a reasonable jury to conclude Mr Tito expected a non-contact visit and arranged for the appellant and his visitor to act as a conduit, and the sentencing judge correctly treated the 13.92 g found in the cap as the quantity involved in the conspiracy while applying appropriate discounts for mitigation and totality.
