The accused, Spiro Rusha, was charged with multiple counts of possession of controlled substances for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime.
The Crown's case relied on circumstantial evidence, including the quantity and variety of drugs seized, substantial cash, and drug paraphernalia.
The defence argued for personal use and legitimate income.
The court found the accused's testimony lacked credibility and reliability, rejecting his explanations for drug possession and cash.
Applying principles of circumstantial evidence, the court concluded that the only reasonable inference was that the substances were for trafficking and the money was proceeds of crime.
Rusha was found guilty on all counts.
