The appellant was convicted of assault, possession of a weapon (a knife), aggravated assault, and breach of probation following an incident with her then-boyfriend.
She was sentenced to two years' imprisonment on the aggravated assault conviction and 30 days concurrent for breach of probation.
On appeal, the appellant challenged the trial judge's rejection of her self-defence claim.
The Court of Appeal upheld the conviction, finding that the trial judge properly considered and rejected the self-defence argument on the merits based on the evidence she accepted.
The appellant failed to demonstrate any palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's factual findings or inferences.
