The court held that, on the totality of the evidence (driver identification at ID parade, the appellant's proximity and behaviour, being captured shortly after the incident sweaty and panting, and the unusual distribution of cash on his person), the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant stole the taxi driver's shoulder bag; the sentencing judge's choice of a 6‑month starting point and imposition of 6 months' imprisonment was appropriate and not excessive.
