A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T

[1] The appellant submits that the trial judge’s reasons were insufficient. In the context of a case that lasted just over one day with three witnesses, we consider the trial judge’s reasons to be adequate. He explained why he disbelieved the appellant’s evidence, why he accepted the evidence of the complainant and went on to find the appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Appeal dismissed.
