[2003] EWCA Crim 2957

Convictions for murder and robbery committed in 1949 were quashed where the failure to disclose the statements of key witnesses rendered the convictions unsafe, and where the second defendant was under undue pressure to plead guilty based on the first defendant's death sentence for the offence.
