Prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case because (1) although the seized material was proven cannabis, there was reasonable doubt as to custody, control, ownership and knowledge given credible evidence of a third party's presence and access, conflicting narratives and lack of corroborative witnesses to rebut the defence; therefore the statutory presumption under s37(da)(vi) did not arise and the accused must be released without being called to enter defence.
