The prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case because material contradictions and gaps undermined proof of possession and knowledge: the sling bag containing the drugs was not properly exhibited or recorded, photographic evidence was unidentified and inconsistent between officers, and the absence of investigation records or testimony (investigation officer deceased) left chain of custody and credibility in doubt; therefore reasonable doubt existed and the accused was acquitted at the close of the prosecution's case.
