The appellant appealed his conviction and the finding that he was a dangerous offender.
On the conviction appeal, he argued the trial judge erred in instructing the jury on evidence of his assault on police officers at the time of arrest and failed to properly summarize the defence's position.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding no misdirection and noting the overwhelming evidence of guilt.
On the sentence appeal, the appellant argued the trial judge gave undue weight to an expert's opinion that relied on other experts not called as witnesses.
The Court dismissed the sentence appeal, finding the expert was entitled to rely on the material and the dangerous offender finding was fully supported by the evidence.
