The appellants appealed their convictions and sentences for conspiracy.
They argued the trial judge erred in the jury instructions regarding the elements of conspiracy, that the indictment was deficient for not explicitly invoking s. 465(3) of the Criminal Code, and that trial fairness was compromised by an RCMP officer entering the jury room to fix equipment.
They also appealed their sentences, arguing they should have received credit for time spent in immigration hold.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction and sentence appeals, finding no errors in the jury charge, the indictment, or the trial judge's discretionary refusal to grant pre-trial custody credit for immigration detention.
