Appellate court affirmed that possession and knowledge were proved because (1) a large quantity of methamphetamine was found in premises under appellant's control; (2) identical methamphetamine was found in appellant's personal sling bag creating a strong nexus; (3) appellant's conduct (nervousness) and failure to provide credible, contemporaneous explanations and to rebut the statutory presumption under s37(da) DDA supported knowledge; and (4) the chain of custody was continuous and intact despite a supervised one‑hour media interval, therefore conviction and sentences were affirmed.
