Accomplice evidence corroborated by cellphone data upheld; convictions under a repealed Explosives Act and duplicate conspiracy conviction set aside.
Criminal law — accomplice evidence (s 204) — cautionary approach and corroboration by cellphone call-detail and tower data; common purpose liability may be applied if evidence shows prior agreement/active association despite no express allegation in indictment; duplication — conspiracy and completed offence cannot both stand; convictions under repealed statute invalid absent charge amendment.
