The appellant appealed his conviction for aggravated assault and his sentence.
Duty counsel raised three issues: that the trial judge misapprehended the evidence regarding who instigated the dispute, erred in finding excessive force was used in the jail cell context, and erred in assessing Officer Chen's observations of the altercation.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the trial judge's factual determinations and dismissed the conviction appeal.
The court also found the sentence, imposed for a serious aggravated assault in the context of interference with a justice system participant, to be entirely fit and dismissed the sentence appeal.
