On the whole evidence the trial judge was entitled to reject the appellant's explanations as inherently improbable; given the nature, quantity and storage (two large pepper sprays totaling c.900ml and two narrow heavy metal bats) and that they were taken from the boot, the only reasonable inference was that they were possessed for use to injure; therefore the elements of possession of offensive weapons were proved and the conviction was upheld; however the 18-month term was disproportionate in all the circumstances and was reduced to reflect time served, resulting in immediate release.
