Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal Against Conviction / Appeal Judgment (court of First Instance)

  1. 1 Admissibility and authenticity of digital/video evidence (P9)
  2. 2 Chain of custody for video extracted from defendant's mobile phone
  3. 3 Credibility and weight of witness evidence (PW1-PW3)

Ratio Decidendi

The trial judge correctly admitted and relied on P9 as prima facie authentic and relevant when considered with PW1-PW3 and scene photos; the witnesses' evidence was credible and supported the only reasonable inference that the appellant attempted to record indecent images in a public changing room; on re-hearing the court is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt and therefore dismisses the appeal and upholds conviction and sentence.
