The magistrate's careful credibility findings were reasonable and within his advantage as the trier of fact; the identified discrepancies did not undermine PW1 and PW2 to the extent of creating reasonable doubt; there was no improper use of the appellant's silence under caution and no substantive mental‑state defence established; accordingly the conviction was safe and the appeal is dismissed.
