The magistrate's adverse credibility finding and inference of guilt based on the appellant's reaction and the presence of a straw in his palm were not supported by the prosecution evidence; alternative innocent inferences were reasonably open, the element of intention to possess was not established, and therefore the conviction was unsafe and had to be quashed.
