The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had possession, control and knowledge of the drugs because there was no nexus between the accused and the concealed drugs, the vehicle was not established as exclusively under accused's control, the chain of custody and identity of the specific concealment location were not conclusively established, and reasonable inferences favorable to the accused existed; therefore no prima facie case and accused discharged and acquitted without being called to defend.
