The Case
In the circumstance of the instant case, where a number of robberies had been committed and the defendant were tried for conspiracy to rob in respect of those robberies, the convictions were not unsafe. The case against them might have been circumstantial, but that was not necessarily a weakness, and the reality was that there were a number of strands of evidence which, taken together, gave rise to a powerful case against each of them.
