The Court affirmed convictions because prosecution proved custody and control of bags containing concealed large quantities of methamphetamine (supported by DNA and name tag), properly invoking the presumption under s37(d) and establishing trafficking under s2; however the trial judge erred in imposing life imprisonment because the mandatory statutory preconditions in s39B(2A), specifically paragraph (d) (assistance to enforcement, evidenced by certification), were not satisfied, so the appellate court substituted the sentence with death for both appellants.
