The appellants were charged with conspiracy to traffic in cocaine.
At trial, evidence was led of three separate conspiracies, but the appellants were only involved in one (Phase II).
The appellants argued that the indictment charged a broader conspiracy encompassing all phases, and since they were not involved in Phase I, they should be acquitted.
The Supreme Court of Canada held that the indictment adequately specified the time and locations relevant to the Phase II conspiracy, giving the appellants reasonable notice of the charge.
The Crown proved the conspiracy charged, and the appeal was dismissed.
