I was on a jury last month for a case with this exact scenario. Dude had a lot of weed and the prosecution tried to use the quantity as the sole proof that he was distributing. Searched his phone, nothing, asked the neighbors about suspicious comings and goings, nothing, et cetera. Then they had some detective expert witness come in and say that in his opinion, the guy was absolutely a dealer based on that alone.
The jury decided pretty much immediately that the prosecution hadn't proved shit. But a different jury... who knows?
- qingcharles 3y agoThis guy was a brave soul taking it to trial. Normally the jury believes expert cop witnesses. This is how they get the plea deals :( I know people who bulk buy large quantities of weed because they have to travel out of state to get it and they want to minimize the risks of being caught with it all in transit.
