The trial judge's acceptance of the prosecution witness as credible, supported by contemporaneous video, meant the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant intentionally struck a police officer who was executing his duty; the conviction was therefore safe. The sentence of three months' imprisonment was within principled sentencing bounds given the need for deterrence and the appellant's prior violent conviction; a community service order was inappropriate.
