Procedural Posture

Criminal Conviction and Sentence Appeal / Application for Leave to Appeal (conviction and Sentence)

  1. 1 Whether the conviction was unsafe given the evidence
  2. 2 Whether the applicant knowingly participated in a conspiracy to manufacture and use counterfeit credit cards
  3. 3 Whether the sentence of five years imprisonment was manifestly excessive

Ratio Decidendi

The trial judge had ample basis to infer that the applicant knowingly conspired to manufacture and use counterfeit credit cards based on tenancy and access to the workshop, surveillance linking him to attempts to use cards, forensic evidence (fingerprints and DNA) in the workshop, contemporaneous admissions, and the quantity of materials; therefore the convictions and the aggregate five-year sentence were safe and not manifestly excessive.
