The judge did not abuse his discretion in refusing a further adjournment because the defence witnesses had been duly summonsed but would not attend, the defence elected not to compel them, and the proposed evidence was of marginal relevance that would not undermine the reliable identification of the applicant or the voluntariness of his post‑arrest statement; accordingly the fresh evidence application under s83V was rightly refused and the conviction is safe.
