The accused was tried for trafficking in cocaine and possession of proceeds of crime following a major drug investigation involving intercepted cell phone communications.
The Crown relied on expert evidence to interpret guarded language and slang used by the accused and others to establish that the drug being trafficked was cocaine.
The court accepted the expert's opinion that terms like 'half B' and specific pricing structures referred exclusively to cocaine, rejecting the defence argument that the communications could have been about marijuana.
The accused was found guilty on both counts.
