A jury's verdict of guilty on drug trafficking charges is not unreasonable where the key prosecution witness's evidence, despite inconsistencies and credibility issues, is corroborated by substantial independent evidence including recorded conversations, surveillance, cash seizures, and anti-surveillance conduct. The jury is not required to accept every detail of a witness's evidence to accept its core. A sentence of 13 years' imprisonment for the organiser of a large-scale MDMA trafficking operation over 18 months is within the appropriate range, particularly where the offender was higher in the organisational chain than co-offenders who received lesser sentences.
