The appellant was convicted of two counts of first degree murder.
He appealed on four grounds: the trial judge's failure to declare a mistrial due to mid-trial publicity about his prior murder conviction, the admission of discreditable conduct evidence regarding his habit of carrying a knife, the ruling allowing the Crown to cross-examine him on his compelled testimony from a co-accused's trial, and the jury instructions on post-offence conduct.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no reversible error in the trial judge's rulings or instructions.
