Prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case because material, unexplained contradictions between oral testimony and the exhibit (P9) regarding the identity and number of urine specimen bottles created a fatal gap in chain of custody and identity of the sample; absence of explanation or production of the second bottle permitted an adverse inference under s114(g) and raised reasonable doubt, requiring acquittal at the close of the prosecution case.
