Issues

  1. Confession of the 1st appellant
  2. Alibi defense of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th appellants
  3. Corroboration of the 1st appellant's testimony

Reasoning

The superior court's findings were upheld, and the 1st appellant's confession was considered substantial evidence. The alibi defenses were rejected as the superior court found corroboration of the 1st appellant's testimony.
