The conviction was unsafe because the trial judge failed to specify whether the case proceeded on statutory presumed trafficking or actual/direct trafficking, improperly invoked both alternatives, and failed to rule whether the statutory presumption had been rebutted; that omission prejudiced the appellant's burden and rendered the conviction and sentence unsustainable, warranting setting aside the conviction and ordering acquittal and discharge.
