    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA859/2005

    Magistrate was entitled to accept or reject conflicting expert evidence; admission of a prosecution-employed expert did not create a real possibility of bias; the Nedrick/Woollin virtual certainty evidential test applies to offences of specific intent generally and, applied on the facts, supported a finding that the appellant intended or foresaw as virtually certain the creation of a false appearance; the conviction, four-month custodial sentence and SFC investigation costs order were lawful and not excessive.
