The appellant, Jason Ebanks, appealed his conviction for attempted murder with a firearm and other related charges, as well as his sentence.
The primary ground of appeal concerned the trial judge's jury charge regarding the victim's photo line-up identification of the appellant.
The appellant argued that the caution given was insufficient because the victim already knew the appellant and believed him to be the shooter, rendering the line-up identification of little value.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding that the jury instructions, while not perfect, adequately equipped the jury to assess the photo line-up evidence in light of the specific frailties raised by the defence.
Leave to appeal sentence was refused as no submissions were made.
