- 1dsjkhdkaj- DPP v Lonergan [2009]
o Murder at a house party – 4 witnesses gave statements, ranging from immediately fater, to minutes later, to 15 minutes later.
o CCA – endorsed Andrews’ ‘composite approach’ – equal weight to r equirement of contemporaneity and possibility of concoction or fabrication.
Time is significant but not sole factor.
o Here, defence neither contested that statements were made nor suggested any motive for concoction.
o Statements admissible – part of same transaction, sufficiently contemporaneous, no opportunity for fabrication. - 2—
