The appellant appealed his conviction for possession of methamphetamine for the purposes of trafficking and possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to public safety, as well as seeking leave to appeal his sentence.
The conviction appeal raised three grounds: erroneous credibility findings, misapprehension of evidence, and an improper adverse inference from the appellant's right to remain silent.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding that the trial judge's credibility findings were reasonable, the evidence was not misapprehended, and no adverse inference was drawn from the appellant's silence.
On the sentence appeal, the Court found an error in the structure of the sentence and modified it to three years on the trafficking offence and one year on the weapons offence, both concurrent, less time served of 19.5 months.
