The applicant appealed against her convictions in 1989 after a referral from the Criminal Cases Review Commission. The case against her had been made by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, with officers who had later been discredited, and super-grasses who had also been discredited.
Held: Various appeals had been successful or rejected over the years on similar grounds. It was clear in this case that the jury had considered the evidence, and rejected cases against other defendants where the case was not corroborated. The appellants case did have corroboration, and the appeal failed.
