- Court of Appeal
The trial judge did not err in declining to discharge the jury after investigating the incidents, discharging the concerned juror, and giving clear directions; there was no demonstrated prejudice or failure to attend to evidence; the evidence was sufficient for the jury to convict Ms Kiwi as a party under s 66(1); and the sentences imposed (6 years' imprisonment for Ms Kiwi and Mr Roberts) were within the appropriate Taueki range and not manifestly excessive.
