The appellant was convicted of multiple counts of attempted murder for sending tampered water bottles and letter bombs.
Seventeen months after the convictions, during dangerous offender proceedings, the trial judge amended his reasons to add an alternative theory of liability for the water bottle counts.
The Court of Appeal held that the late amendment rebutted the presumption of integrity and excised it from the reasons.
Based on the original reasons, the court found the attempted murder convictions for the water bottles unreasonable and entered acquittals.
The letter bomb convictions were upheld.
A new dangerous offender hearing was ordered.
