The accused was charged with possession of crack cocaine for the purpose of trafficking after police executed a search warrant at an apartment.
The police testified the accused arrived carrying a bag containing the drugs, while the accused testified he arrived empty-handed for a sexual encounter and the police mistook him for his brother, the target of the warrant.
The court acquitted the accused, finding the police investigation severely flawed—including missing notes, failure to secure video surveillance, and inconsistent testimony—and concluding the accused's evidence raised a reasonable doubt under the W.(D.) framework.
