The conviction for possession for the purpose of unlawful trafficking was quashed because the record did not clearly establish a binding admission of possession of all three lots as required by s.65C principles and related authorities; where there is doubt as to whether an admission was validly made and relied upon, the conviction cannot stand. With Crown consent the court substituted a conviction for simple unlawful possession of the one lot proved (found in the rectum) and imposed a 15‑month consecutive sentence.
