The appellant appealed his conviction for first-degree murder and robbery arising from the Just Desserts café shooting.
He argued that the trial judge erred in the jury selection process by prioritizing the return dates of potential jurors from identifiable minority groups to ensure representativeness.
The Court of Appeal held that while the process departed from strict statutory requirements, it did not prejudice the appellant or undermine the jury's impartiality.
The court also dismissed grounds of appeal relating to the admissibility of surveillance videotapes, recognition witness evidence, the jury charge on identification, and the trial judge's refusal to compel testimony.
The appeal from conviction was dismissed and the sentence appeal was quashed.
