The appellant appealed his conviction for second degree murder.
He argued the trial judge erred in admitting expert evidence regarding the frequency of foreign DNA under fingernails, instructing the jury on his credibility based on an admitted theft, prohibiting evidence of a third party's disposition for violence, and instructing the jury on the defence of drunkenness.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no errors in the trial judge's rulings or jury instructions.
