The appellant was charged with possession of methamphetamine and cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
The trial judge acquitted the accused on the trafficking charges but convicted him of the lesser included offence of simple possession.
The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal found that the trial judge had applied the wrong legal test with respect to possession for the purpose of trafficking and entered convictions on the trafficking charges.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal substantially for the reasons of the Court of Appeal, upholding the trafficking convictions.
