In the case of conspiracy among X, Y and Z, prosecution produces a letter written by X to Z, after X and Y were arrested, directing him to conceal all relevant material lying with him. Is the letter relevant?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under BSA s.8, statements or acts of a conspirator are relevant against co-conspirators only when made during the continuance of the conspiracy in reference to the common design; a letter written to conceal evidence after X and Y were already arrested was made once the conspiracy had ended, so it is not relevant on that basis.
