Convictions quashed because the primary evidential basis (a confrontation identification made five years after the events where the complainant said 'I believe it's him') fell short of the certainty required for safe identification and the magistrate gave no adequate independent reason to elevate that equivocal initial identification to a reliable basis for conviction, rendering the convictions unsafe.
