    On the totality of the evidence — expert forensic reports establishing large quantities of methamphetamine and ketamine, the presence of laboratory paraphernalia and chemicals, DNA profiles of appellants on clothing/towels/ gloves found in the premises, the locked premises and proximity of appellants to exposed drugs — the trial judge correctly inferred manufacture/trafficking and knowledge/control and joint intention; the trial judge's credibility findings and exhibit identifications were lawful and the appellate court will not disturb them, therefore convictions and sentences are upheld.
