The appellate court upheld the magistrate's careful credibility findings: PW9 was independent and his evidence corroborated material parts of police testimony; there was no evidence of collusion or bias sufficient to undermine PW9; the police arrests were lawful in the circumstances and reasonable force was used to effect them; absent irrationality or lack of evidence the magistrate's conclusions on credibility and guilt must stand; no lurking doubt existed, so convictions were safe and the appeal was dismissed.
