The appellant, Kellie-Lynne Gracie, appealed her conviction for robbery.
She argued that the trial judge reversed the onus of proof and made an unreasonable inference regarding her involvement in the robbery.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the trial judge, despite using the term "prima facie," did not reverse the onus of proof or improperly use the appellant's failure to testify as a make-weight.
The court concluded that the cumulative circumstantial evidence reasonably supported the trial judge's inference that the appellant was a party to the planned robbery.
