The High Court dismissed the appeal against conviction because (1) the fresh video and screenshots did not materially contradict PW1's identification evidence; (2) PW1 was found credible on identification and the trial judge reasonably inferred the appellant had held a green laser which was lost during chaotic restraint; but allowed the sentencing appeal and reduced the custodial sentence because the original 3‑month starting point was unduly severe in the statutory maximum context and a 7‑week immediate term better reflected proportionality and mitigating factors.
