The appellant appealed his conviction for attempted murder arising from a single gunshot fired during a melee in a bar parking lot.
He argued that the verdict was unreasonable due to inconsistencies between the video evidence and the medical evidence regarding the bullet's trajectory, and that the trial judge misapplied the mens rea for attempted murder by convicting on the basis of recklessness.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the trial judge's conclusions on identity and intent were firmly grounded in the video evidence and that the trial judge correctly applied the requirement of specific intent to kill.
