Key legal question
Whether procedural complaints about joinder, participation rights, confrontation and first interview warnings required reversal
Extracted holding
The procedural complaints failed; the separate proceedings were justified by objective reasons, the participation and confrontation complaints were not persuasive, and the interview-warning issue only affected the weapons evidence for one part.
Extracted reasoning
The court found sufficient factual reasons for separate proceedings, no general right to participate in the separate cases, and held that the defence had not timely sought repetition of interviews. Only the first interviews on the weapons count were tainted.
