The Court upheld the trial judge's assessment of credibility and inference of guilt because the objective indicia — immediate payment to the applicant when the letter of credit proceeds were credited, lack of documentary support for the applicant's debt explanation, the applicant's conduct after allegations arose, and the apology/compensation letter — provided a cogent basis to conclude he conspired to procure payment by means of a forged bill of lading; accordingly the application for leave to appeal against conviction was dismissed.
