The appellant appealed her conviction and 18-month sentence for aggravated assault.
She argued the trial judge failed to give adequate reasons by omitting mention of specific evidence and erred in refusing to reopen the trial based on fresh evidence concerning the complainant's victim impact statement.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding the omitted evidence was not prominent and the trial judge properly exercised her discretion in refusing to reopen the trial.
The sentence appeal was also dismissed, as the 18-month sentence was not manifestly excessive.
