    Conviction was upheld because prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt the elements of attempted murder and common intention: reliable eyewitness identification by parade and dock identification, medical evidence consistent with gunshot and serious injury, and the defence was an unnotified alibi and afterthought that failed to raise reasonable doubt; sentence was excessive for a first offender and was reduced from 14 to 10 years on appeal for mitigation and rehabilitation considerations.
