APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1The appellant submits that the conclusion by the trial judge that he was the person who threw a flaming object on top of a shopping mall roof was unreasonable.
2There was an ample basis for the trial judge’s conclusion.
3There is no basis for this court to re-weigh the evidence. It was open to the trial judge to conclude that the third party evidence did not raise a reasonable doubt.
4Appeal dismissed.
