After full assessment the court found prosecution proved prima facie identity of the drug (cannabis), accused's control and custody of the package, and by operation of s37(d) a presumption of knowledge arose; combined with the large quantity (960.9g) and circumstances (accused alone on the motorcycle, attempt to flee) the proper inference was trafficking; defence failed to rebut the presumption, therefore accused convicted under s39B(1)(a) DDA 1952 and sentenced pursuant to sentencing discretion post-Act 846.
