The appellant appealed convictions for possession of cocaine and heroin for the purpose of trafficking, and a sentence of 26 months' imprisonment.
The trial judge found that the Crown had proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the appellant's possession was for trafficking purposes, rejecting the appellant's testimony that the drugs were for personal use due to his addiction.
The appellant's explanation that he obtained funds from online poker winnings was found to be far-fetched and unsupported.
The Court of Appeal dismissed both the conviction appeal and the sentence appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's W.(D.) analysis or sentencing principles.
The victim surcharge was set aside.
