The magistrate's credibility findings were plainly wrong and he failed to properly analyse the law of self‑defence; on rehearing the court finds the appellant acted in reasonable self‑defence of his young children and quashes the AOABH conviction and sentence; on the separate poison charge the prosecution failed to rebut the lawful possession inference from the appellant's medical/prescription evidence so the conviction and sentence are also set aside.
