The court found the prosecution proved custody/control and knowledge of the cannabis by inference from surrounding circumstances (items found on ironing board, in clothing pocket and in a bag containing appellant's identity documents, supported by credible police evidence and intact chain of custody); the appellant's inconsistent and uncorroborated denials failed to raise a reasonable doubt; conviction and sentence were therefore safe and were affirmed.
