The appellant appealed his conviction for aggravated assault and his sentence of two years less one day.
He argued the trial judge failed to adequately consider evidence supporting his claim that he was an innocent bystander and erred in relying on the identification evidence of a specific witness.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding the trial judge's assessment of the evidence was reasonable and supported by the record.
The sentence appeal was also dismissed, as the unprovoked, racially motivated, and gang-related machete attack warranted the sentence imposed.
