The accused was charged with robbery and wounding following a home invasion where two brothers were assaulted and stabbed.
The central issue at trial was identity.
The victims identified the accused, whom they had known from their neighbourhood years prior, both during the incident and in subsequent photo lineups.
Despite defence arguments regarding the reliability of the recognition evidence, the passage of time, and flaws in the photo lineup procedures, the court found the identification evidence credible and reliable.
The accused was found guilty of all charges.
