    Prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case under s.4A(a) because the gaming expert report lacked necessary proof of expertise, the forensic report did not corroborate gambling records, possession and control of the seized phone by the defendant were not established, and the investigating officer's inquiries were incomplete; these defects left multiple reasonable inferences favoring the defendant, requiring acquittal at the close of the prosecution case.
