The conviction was upheld because the combination of recent possession of pieces of the stolen gold, forensic evidence that the appellant had used a bolt cutter to sever pieces (including across serial numbers), vehicle movements linking him to the getaway, and absence of a credible innocent explanation permitted the only reasonable inference of guilty knowledge; the sentence was within permissible range and not excessive.
