The appellant and a co-accused were charged with possession of a loaded restricted firearm following an altercation at a nightclub.
At trial, the appellant's counsel cross-examined a security guard, suggesting he was lying to protect the co-accused.
The trial judge restricted certain lines of questioning regarding identity, prior statements, and an alleged drug deal.
The appellant appealed his conviction and 48-month sentence, arguing the trial judge's rulings undermined trial fairness.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the trial judge properly exercised her trial management discretion and the rulings did not deprive the appellant of a fair trial.
