The appellant was convicted of attempted murder and firearms offences following a trial by judge alone.
The main issue was identity, relying heavily on the victim's testimony.
On appeal, the appellant argued the trial judge erred by failing to give himself a Vetrovec warning regarding the victim's evidence.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that there is no requirement for a judge sitting alone to recite a Vetrovec caution in their reasons, and the trial judge was acutely aware of the dangers of relying on the victim's evidence.
