The appeal fails because the trial judge lawfully and reasonably compared voice recordings and accepted both audio and witness recognition identifying the appellant, the refusal to allow detailed questioning on the witness's prior convictions did not render the trial unfair as those details lacked direct relevance to credibility, the expert and factual evidence supported a finding that the appellant acted in the capacity of a triad member to control the taxi rank, and the six-month custodial sentence was not manifestly excessive given the need to deter such conduct.
