The court upheld drug trafficking convictions, finding no errors in evidentiary rulings or jury instructions.
The appellant appealed his conviction for importation and possession of over 100 kilograms of heroin and possession of approximately $650,000 as proceeds of crime.
The Crown's case was based on evidence from a controlled delivery of heroin, authorized searches of storage units, and testimony from a courier.
The appellant raised three grounds of appeal: inadequate jury instructions regarding identification evidence, improper qualification of an expert witness regarding FINTRAC reports, and improper curtailment of cross-examination.
The Court of Appeal dismissed all grounds, finding the trial judge's rulings were appropriate and the Crown's case was overwhelming.
