Appellant's conviction was upheld because the prosecution proved custody and control of the drugs by affirmative links—drugs concealed in bag P19 on the bed in the room occupied solely by appellant, appellant's passport and personal items associated with P19 and room, DNA matches, and contemporaneous conduct (locking door/resisting police); P32 admissible; mixed DNA did not establish existence of another occupier; thus guilt proved beyond reasonable doubt; sentence reduced from death to 30 years imprisonment and 12 strokes due to change in law.
