Ratio Decidendi

On the whole of the evidence, including the identification and alibi evidence, it was open to the jury to conclude beyond reasonable doubt that the applicant was guilty. The weaknesses identified by the applicant concerning tattoos, build, and identification process did not undermine the reliability of the victim's identification, and the jury was properly warned about the risks associated with identification evidence.
