Supreme Court dismissed appeal regarding evidence of drug importation where defendant denied possession of seized packages.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the defendant's appeal against the lower court's conviction for two serious drug offenses and one drug offense based on imported substances. The defendant was charged because packages were seized by postal authorities, yet he denied ever handling or possessing the items. The court upheld the conviction by affirming that the lower court correctly evaluated the circumstantial evidence and the defendant's denial as insufficient to rebut the prosecution's case.
