Another, often overlooked, aspect of the possession case is whether the charged person “knew” they were in possession. If the police cannot prove the suspect knowingly possessed marijuana, they are unable to obtain a conviction. Supposed the same group of friends went out together, but this time without the beer. Instead, the owner of the car had baggies of marijuana stashed under the seats, in the glove box, and in the trunk . . . all without the knowledge of his friends. The same traffic stop occurs and the marijuana is located by the police. Although the marijuana was within easy reach of each person in the car, only the driver actually knew it was there. Commonly, each person would be arrested and charged. However, unless the prosecutor can prove knowledge, the accused friends should escape conviction.
