Convictions were upheld because the appellate court, on rehearing the evidence, found the trial judge's factual findings and credibility assessments were supported by coherent witness testimony and were not perverse; however sentencing relied in part on an unstable inference that appellant knew the victim was a police officer, which affected the assessment of gravity, so the court reduced the sentence to reflect proper mitigation for age and clean record.
