Summary
The defense brief challenges drug trafficking allegations by emphasizing the prosecutions burden of proof and presenting evidence of legitimate income, including winnings from a poker machine venue. It highlights the defendants ADHD as a mitigating factor, referencing the case R v Mazzaferro [2014] VSC 398, which recognized ADHDs impact on behavior. The brief argues the small quantity of drugs suggests personal use, not trafficking, and cites precedents like R v Nguyen (2010) and DPP v Fisher (2009) to support the distinction between personal use and trafficking. The defense requests the court to consider the psychological and financial context, asserting the prosecution has not met the required burden of proof.Full Conversation
