- Court of Appeal
The Court dismissed the appeal: the inconsistencies in witness accounts were minor and did not render the guilty verdicts unreasonable given the jury's opportunity to assess credibility and corroborating evidence; self‑defence was correctly left only for the final headbutt because only that narrative was supported by the evidence; no miscarriage of justice arose and the summing up was appropriate.
