1. The defendant faces a single charge of wounding with intent, contrary to section 17(a) of the Offences Against the Persons Ordinance. The charge arises out of a dispute in a prison whereby the victim was struck on the head by a plastic stool and received injuries to the head and body. The defendant says the evidence called by the prosecution cannot identify him as the perpetrator of that action, and that is the sole issue before the court today.
