Leave to appeal was refused because the trial judge correctly applied Turnbull: although identification had weaknesses, it was supported by other evidence (applicant's admissions, CCTV showing him with a weapon, and his failure to explain those facts), making the conviction safe; the sentence of 30 months, while lenient, was not so excessive as to warrant interference given the aggravating features and need for deterrence.
