The use of additional material in the jury room: R v Marshall; R v Crump [2007] EWCA Crim 35

The two co-appellants, Marshall (M) and Crump (C) appealed against their respective convictions which had arisen out of aggravated robberies, committed with two other co-accuseds (P and W) which had led to the death of the victim (D). M had been convicted of manslaughter, robbery, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence, possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. C had been convicted of robbery. M had pleaded guilty to the robbery but claimed that, although he had been holding the firearm, its discharge was accidental. M and P were convicted of manslaughter. C and W were acquitted of murder and manslaughter as a result of a successful claim of duress but were convicted of robbery.
