The court held that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the seized items were methamphetamine (forensic reports P8 and P10), the chain of custody was unbroken, and the accused had possession and knowledge of the drugs (visual visibility in the car footwell and by directing police to the cupboard). The statutory presumption of trafficking applied due to the quantities and the accused failed to rebut it on the balance of probabilities; therefore conviction on both counts was warranted and sentencing followed.
