The accused was charged with possession of crystal methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime, possession of identity documents, and breach of probation.
The Crown relied on circumstantial evidence to prove the accused had knowledge and control of drugs found in a backpack in a taxi and in a locked bedroom at his residence.
The court found the circumstantial evidence overwhelming and convicted the accused on the drug, proceeds of crime, identity document, and probation breach charges, but acquitted him of possessing property knowing it was obtained by crime due to lack of evidence regarding his knowledge of the IDs' origins.
