The appellant appealed his convictions for attempted murder and related offences arising from a stabbing incident.
At trial, the appellant relied on self-defence, calling a witness who testified the victim attacked the appellant with a baseball bat.
The trial judge rejected this evidence and convicted the appellant.
On appeal, the appellant argued the trial judge applied unequal scrutiny to the witnesses and misapprehended evidence.
The Court of Appeal found no palpable or overriding error in the trial judge's credibility assessments or factual findings, concluding the evidence overwhelmingly weighed against self-defence.
The appeal was dismissed.
