Decision Date

CaseChat Overview and Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeal heard two appeals against convictions. In the first matter, JMB appealed against his conviction for a number of serious criminal offences including attempted murder. In the second matter, WAR appealed against his conviction for a number of criminal offences, including aggravated assault causing grievous bodily harm. The legal issues in the first matter were whether the trial judge erred in his directions to the jury concerning the principle of self-defence, whether the trial judge erred in failing to direct the jury that the Crown had not discharged its burden of proving JMB's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, and whether the appeal should be allowed on the basis that the conviction was unsafe and unsatisfactory. In the second matter, the legal issue was whether the trial judge erred in failing to direct the jury on the issue of self-defence, whether the trial judge erred in admitting evidence of previous misconduct by the appellant, and whether the appeal should be allowed on the basis that the conviction was unsafe and unsatisfactory. The Court of Criminal Appeal held that the appeal should be dismissed. The Court held that there was no error in the trial judge's directions to the jury concerning self-defence, and that the trial judge had correctly directed the jury that the Crown had the burden of proving the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court also held that there was no error in the admission of evidence of previous misconduct, and that the conviction was safe and satisfactory. The appeal was dismissed.
