Monday 12 July 2004 REGINA v GLEN PETER M c KEON

Judgment 1 STUDDERT J: The appellant, Glen Peter McKeon, was convicted on a number of counts of aggravated armed robbery and of stealing motor vehicles. These convictions followed a number of trials. The appellant appeals against his convictions following two of these trials, namely those which commenced on 12 November 2002 and 25 November 2002. He also seeks leave to appeal against the severity of sentences imposed upon him. 2 It will, of course, be necessary in considering the appeals against conviction to consider the grounds of appeal as they relate to each trial discretely.
