Questão jurídica principal
Whether the conviction for qualified drug-law offences was based on arbitrary fact-finding or violated in dubio pro reo.
Decisão extraída
The appellate court's assessment was defensible and did not leave serious, unavoidable doubt; the conviction stood.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on several converging indicators: cocaine-contaminated cash in foreign currencies, cocaine traces on the defendant, intensive phone contacts with a person linked to the drug apartment, flight from police, drug paraphernalia and traces at his home, and implausible explanations by the defendant.
