The defence raised a reasonable doubt as to possession and knowledge by providing a plausible, corroborated alternative explanation that the backpack belonged to a third party and the incriminating container was left by another person; prosecution failed to displace that doubt despite chain of custody and chemical analysis; therefore prosecution did not prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt and accused is acquitted.
