Extension of time to appeal granted; appeal against conviction dismissed because missing records, deceased or uncalled witnesses, jury composition and appellant's health did not render trial unfair or cause miscarriage of justice; appeal against sentence dismissed because the sentencing judge correctly identified aggravating factors, applied appropriate starting points and totality principles and the resulting 13‑year sentence fell within the available range given the historical context and offending.
