[2011] EWCA Crim 578

Following the appellants' convictions for conspiracy to murder, the evidence of a different witness at subsequent trials arising out of the same incident was admitted as fresh evidence to be assessed as if it had been admitted at their trial. However, far from undermining the safety of their convictions, that evidence would have added damning weight against all the appellants.
