Klentiana appeared for the Crown Prosecution Service in the case of R v Sugrue, where the appellant was convicted of one count of robbery for which he is serving an 11-year prison sentence.
The appellant complained that the admission of a 22-year old conviction of robbery as bad character evidence rendered his current conviction unsafe but the Court of Appeal (LJ Hickinbottom, Openshaw J and HHJ Topolski QC) dismissed the appeal stating they had no “sensible doubt” that the conviction was safe.
