The Court held that the trial judge legitimately relied on circumstantial and contemporaneous evidence (location, attire and protective equipment, possession of radio and bandages, timing, escape and the assault by a nearby individual) to infer the applicant participated in the riot; the applicant's immediate claim to be a first aider and DW1's testimony did not rebut the prosecution's case, and there was no unfairness in the judge considering co-present conduct without prior defence notice; accordingly the conviction was safe.
