Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of cannabis trafficking and possession of cannabis with intent to deliver. Numerous suspicious circumstances, and suspicious behavior by Defendant before and after picking up the package,allow rational trier of fact to infer that Defendant had knowledge of contents of FedEx package which agents had identified as containing cannabis. Package arrived not at Defendant's home but at his girlfriend's home, and package did not contain Defendant's name or address.(CARTER and O'BRIEN, concurring.)
