The Court found the prosecution adduced overwhelming direct evidence that the accused had physical possession and the requisite knowledge of the drugs; the accused failed to prove duress as imminent, extreme and persistent and had multiple opportunities to seek help, so his defence failed on balance of probabilities; appellate court will not disturb trial judge's credibility findings; conviction affirmed and death sentence substituted under Act 846 with fixed term and whipping.
