- High Court
Application to admit fresh evidence dismissed because the expert report lacked compelling foundation (poor quality copies and inconsistent conclusions), the 111-call was not fresh and did not materially contradict the judge's findings, and in any event the evidence would not have affected the safety of the convictions; appellate court deferred to the trial judge's credibility findings supported by the totality of the evidence.
