The court convicted because direct evidence showed the defendant had control of the vehicle and led police to the bag; the bag contained 1529.7g methamphetamine which triggers the statutory presumption of trafficking under s37(da) Dangerous Drugs Act 1952; the defence explanation involving a third party arose late, lacked contemporaneous corroboration and did not create reasonable doubt; inconsistencies in spouse testimony and absence of compelling exculpatory evidence meant prosecution discharged its burden of proof and defendant was guilty.
