The applicant failed to prove, on the balance of probabilities, that trial counsel admitted facts contrary to his instructions; the party alleging such trial‑conduct facts bears the burden of proof on balance; while best practice requires defendants to acknowledge admitted facts in court, failure to do so is not a legal irregularity invalidating conviction; and the total sentence of 18 years was not manifestly excessive, so leave to appeal against conviction and sentence is refused.
