The accused was charged with possession of cocaine and crack cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime, and multiple firearms offences following the execution of search warrants at two apartments.
The Crown's case relied on circumstantial evidence to prove constructive possession.
The court found the accused not guilty of the drug charges, as there was a reasonable doubt regarding his exclusive access to the stash house where the drugs were found.
However, the court found the accused guilty of possessing over $90,000 in proceeds of crime and a loaded restricted firearm found in the apartment where he was arrested, concluding that his guilt was the only reasonable inference.
