Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal against both conviction and sentence for an assault causing harm, the court finding that there was no basis to doubt the fairness of the trial or the safety of the verdict; and that the original sentence of four years imprisonment, with the final year suspended, was not unduly severe and was within the appropriate range, despite the appellant's contention of excessive severity considering mitigating factors.
