Absolutely true.
In my case, possession wasn't in question. It was whether there was an intent to sell.
First, the defense tried to paint their guy as a heavy user, that having such a large amount of meth (32.5 grams and a scale and security cameras) was normal for him. But when the prosecutor pointed out that the guy still had his teeth, skin intact, and was a fairly athletic-looking guy, the defense pivoted and tried to say that the big bag (27 grams) was planted and he just had 6. In my book, that was it. Obviously he was lying and I thought it was pretty straight forward. But there were people who thought he was sharing with his friends, etc.
After the trial, the prosecutor told us more about how they got a warrant and the holdouts realized how clear it really was.
