R v STEVEN EDWARD DOSSETT (2013)

[2013] EWCA Crim 710

Identification evidence that had been adduced during the trial of a robbery was not too weak to support a safe conviction where the witness had been able to obtain a good look at the suspect's face, even though the quality of the street lighting had been poor. It had also been open to the judge to conclude that the suspect's previous convictions for robbery and an assault occasioning actual bodily harm ,that had occurred in similar circumstances to the instant case, could logically demonstrate a propensity to behave in the manner alleged.
