The appellant appealed his conviction for assault, arguing that the trial judge misdirected himself on the defence of accident and failed to adequately address conflicting expert evidence.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the trial judge made clear findings of an intentional assault and properly handled the conflict in expert evidence.
The court noted that the trial judge's careful analysis of the expert testimony justified rejecting the basis for the defence expert's opinion.
The appeal from sentence was dismissed as abandoned.
