LACK OF EVIDENCE IN DRUG CRIME
Drug trafficking and drug use are punishments with different sanctions. Lack of evidence in drug trafficking cases usually occurs in cases of possession of an amount inconsistent with personal use, but where there is insufficient evidence that it has been trafficked.
The prosecution has an obligation to prove that you possess a certain drug and that you have sold or intended to sell that drug. When there is no direct evidence that a drug crime has taken place in a case, it is determined whether there are other evidence or signs of drug trafficking October in addition to the drugs found.

Constitutes Evidence of Drug Trafficking
Personal use does not have a much higher amount,
Pure drug possession.
Possession of Heroin, Cocaine, PCP, Meta-fetamine may indicate trafficking rather than consumption.
The seizure of drugs by law enforcement agencies, divided into small packages.
The presence of drug-related materials such as scales, cutting agents, bags in the premises belonging to the suspect.
Such as the seizure of account books or notes containing information that tends to confirm the drug trade.
Summary: Drugs were found near the home of one of the defendants, and no drugs were found as a result of searches conducted on both of the defendants. There is no concrete information indicating that the seized narcotic substance also belongs to the defendants. Therefore, the crime remains in the dimension of doubt. It was decided to overturn the defendants’ convictions without any doubt that they committed the crime of drug trafficking and without sufficient evidence for conviction.
