Prosecution failed to prove the essential first element — the actual existence, precise quantity, type and alcoholic content of the goods as charged — and there were material discrepancies and breaks in the chain of custody and documentary evidence; those failures defeated the prima facie case and, therefore, the accused must be acquitted and discharged without calling their defence.
