Because the magistrate did not specify whether the trafficking conviction rested on inadmissible informer-related evidence or on the presumption from quantity, the trafficking conviction was unsafe; however, admitted evidence established possession of 35 packets and smoking, so the court substituted a conviction for simple possession and reduced the sentence to 12 months; the resisting arrest sentence was confirmed and the smoking conviction was upheld.
