R v T'Shai Ennis

R v T'Shai Ennis

None of the grounds of appeal were arguable; the directions to the jury were legally correct, the evidence was properly admitted, the adverse inference direction was justified, and the fresh evidence did not undermine the safety of the conviction. The application for extension of time and leave to appeal was refused as there was no prospect of success.
