- High Court
The High Court concluded the trial Judge did not err: witness evidence (two independent witnesses), photographic evidence of damaged outdoor furniture, police observations of broken glass and appellant's cuts and agitated conduct provided sufficient and corroborative evidence to infer the appellant broke the ranch slider and damaged the furniture; minor inconsistencies were immaterial and, in any event, proof of the broken ranch slider alone sufficed to uphold the wilful damage conviction.
