The conviction was safe because the trial judge permissibly accepted the mother's direct eyewitness account corroborated by neighbours and post-mortem findings; the pathologist's speculative opinion about the sofa cushion was inadmissible or of little weight on the ultimate issue; the appellant's words and violent acts against a fragile two‑month‑old warranted an inference of intention to kill; the defence was a bare denial that failed to raise reasonable doubt.
