[2012] EWCA Crim 1949

There was no reasonable excuse for failing to call two witnesses to give exculpatory evidence at the trial of offences arising out of a serious assault, as the evidence had been known about at the time. The fact that a new legal team took a different view about tactics was not a reason to appeal.
