    Because there was a material, unexplained discrepancy in the serial number identifying the accused's urine bottle and the prosecution failed to investigate or explain the amendment or produce the original exhibit, the identity of the sample was in doubt and the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case; the accused was therefore discharged at the close of the prosecution case under s173(f)(ii) CPC.
