The appellate court found no error in the trial judge's fact‑finding or legal reasoning: the forensic evidence and contextual material sufficiently linked the seized computer and its illicit content to the applicant; the possibilities of third‑party tampering or planting while in police custody were inherently improbable despite procedural handling flaws; the judge's questioning of experts was a permissible exercise of his fact‑finding function; and the sentences imposed were within proper guidelines — accordingly leave to appeal against conviction and sentence was refused.
