APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1We must reject the appellant’s submissions. The case was factually straightforward and turned largely on credibility assessments.
2While the appellant has pointed to at least one factual error in the reasons, and to other parts of the evidence which were not referred to by the trial judge, neither amounts to a material misapprehension of the evidence or an unbalanced scrutiny of the evidence of the appellant when compared to that applied to the evidence of the Crown witnesses, including the police officers.
3The appellant acknowledges there was evidence capable of supporting the convictions. We would not interfere.
4As we would uphold the convictions, the sentence appeal on the obstruct police charge is effectively moot.
5The appeal is dismissed.
