On the totality of the trial and surveillance evidence, and applying Sentencing Act s24 and established principles on circumstantial inference, the Court was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the methamphetamine involved was approximately 70% pure and that the defendant possessed the following amounts for supply: charge 10 — 160 grams; charge 11 — 280 grams; charge 12 — 84 grams; charge 13 (representative) — 1,000 grams; total 1,524 grams. The Court may therefore treat these findings as aggravating facts at sentencing.
