    Appeal allowed in part: conviction substituted to an offence under Section 12(2) DDA (possession) and sentence reduced to 12 years' imprisonment and ten strokes of the cane because the mitigating factors (first-time offender, disputed ownership of vehicle, claim of lack of knowledge) justified a lesser term than life imprisonment, while maintaining deterrent and consistency considerations.
