Heard: February 2, 2018

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The trial judges conclusion on the identification of the appellant is
    amply supported by the evidence and no error is demonstrated. There is nothing
    in this record to support any finding of reasonable apprehension of bias on the
    part of the trial judge. The fact that he had acted for the appellant some six
    years earlier is alone  simply no basis to support any such finding.

[2]

No error is demonstrated in the sentence imposed  in our view it was
    fit in all the circumstances and if anything it was light for a home invasion.
    Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
