Can a plaintiff appeal his conviction for sexual assault against a jury?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Dipietro, 1991 ABCA 145 (CanLII):
Our job is not to substitute fully our view for that of the trial judge. He of course saw and heard the witnesses. We cannot say that his conviction is unsafe within the tests set in Yebes v. R. 1987 CanLII 17 (SCC), [1987] 2 S.C.R. 168, 59 C.R. (3d) 108.
