[2004] EWCA Crim 696

Although both cross-examination and summing-up had taken a number of days neither had been unfair or onerous to the extent that the appellants' convictions had been unsafe. However, a late guilty plea by one of the appellants merited a greater reduction in sentence than one year and, as such, his prison term was reduced from 16 to 13 years.
