The accused, Randall William Creed, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine.
The court found that the Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused was in possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance.
However, the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the intent or purpose of physically making the narcotic available to others.
The court found the expert evidence on drug quantity unreliable due to hearsay and lack of basis, and other seized items (baggies, scales, pipe) were deemed equivocal as to trafficking intent, with reasonable alternative explanations.
Consequently, the accused was found not guilty of the charge.
