ABSTRACT

Mantell LJ: On 13 October 1998, at Maidstone Crown Court, David Paul Martin was convicted on two counts of robbery and after an adjournment for reports was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment on each, it being ordered that those two sentences should be served concurrently. He now appeals against conviction by leave of the single judge. He has also an application for leave to appeal against sentence which is out of time, that matter having been referred to this court. We deal only for the moment with the appeal against conviction.
