The court refused the appeal: the magistrate’s factual and credibility findings were supported by the evidence and not plainly wrong; the fresh video evidence, even if admissible, would not have altered the outcome; the appellant did not satisfy the court he honestly believed force was necessary and the strike occasioned actual bodily harm; conviction and the custodial sentence imposed (three months) were lawful and not manifestly excessive.
