The appellant was convicted of two counts of possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking.
He appealed, arguing the trial judge erred by treating proximity and the appellant’s customary use of the bedroom where the drugs were found as a proxy for possession.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the conviction appeal, finding the trial judge carefully reviewed the evidence and provided clear reasons for concluding possession was proven beyond a reasonable doubt, rejecting other possibilities as unreasonable.
The sentence appeal was dismissed as abandoned.
