    On the facts — possession of the vehicle key, late‑night proximity and parking, looking around, unlocking then relocking on seeing police, the quantity and packaging of the cocaine — the only reasonable and irresistible inference was that the appellant knew of and was in control of the cocaine and possessed it for the purpose of trafficking; accordingly the conviction was upheld.
