The prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had physical control and possession of the drugs found in the vehicle, and by application of presumptions under s37 ADB 1952 together with surrounding circumstances and chemical analysis identifying heroin (2.11g) and methamphetamine (12.38g), established knowledge and ownership; the accused's bare denials failed to raise reasonable doubt, warranting conviction on both counts and concurrent custodial sentences with corporal punishment as imposed.
