The appellant appealed his conviction for aggravated assault and his designation as a dangerous offender.
The conviction was based on the appellant's assault of a bar patron with a pool cue, causing serious and permanent injuries.
The appellant challenged the trial judge's acceptance of the bar owner's identification evidence and the trial judge's conclusion that the appellant admitted to the assault.
The appellant also challenged the dangerous offender designation, arguing that the two incidents relied upon did not constitute a sufficient pattern of repetitive or persistent aggressive behaviour.
The Court of Appeal dismissed both the conviction appeal and the sentence appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's findings of fact or application of law.
