The accused was charged with being a party to a robbery and possession of stolen property.
The Crown alleged she aided the principals of a $250,000 jewellery robbery by renting a vehicle used as a scout and getaway car.
The case was entirely circumstantial.
The court found that the cumulative effect of the evidence, including her association with the principals and presence during the arrival of the stolen goods, led to the inexorable inference that she knew of the robbery and intended to aid it.
She was found guilty of the robbery charges but acquitted of possessing stolen travellers' cheques found in her vehicle due to lack of evidence of knowledge.
