The defendant appealed his conviction for murder. The conviction had been on the basis of there having been a joint enterprise.
Held: ‘The jury were sufficiently directed on the question of intent and we see no risk that they might have misunderstood the time at which intent was to be judged. Conduct immediately following an offence may throw light on a defendant’s state of mind at the time the offence is committed. ‘ An appeal related to an associated robbery succeeded.
