APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1The admissibility of the statement turned on credibility assessment and findings of fact. The law is not in dispute. The trial judge’s findings are reasonable and reveal no misapprehension of the material evidence. We cannot interfere. The conviction appeal must be dismissed.
2The sentence imposed was not unfit. Given the nature of the offence, a jail term was appropriate. Nine months was within the range.
3The appeal is dismissed.
