The trial judge's findings that the appellant had custody, control and knowledge of the drugs were supported by consistent prosecution evidence (signing delivery under false names, conduct at delivery, attempt to flee) and the asserted third-party alibi (Johnson John) was found fictitious after adequate investigation; therefore prima facie case stood and the appellant failed to rebut the presumption of trafficking, so the Court of Appeal affirms conviction and mandatory death sentence.
