It will never stick. Can’t show the wallet wasn’t tampered with.
I was thinking the same.
The TSA asks questions concerning luggage as in... Have you been with your luggage the entire time? Has anybody else watched your luggage for you while you weren’t attending to it?
So why wouldn’t loss of control or loss of custody pertain to a wallet that was left behind?
There is no proof and no way to show that the wallet was not tampered with.
But only if she keeps her trap shut and talks through her lawyer.
I don't know about that. If her fingerprints are on the baggie the coke was in then she's probably toast.
That’s a strong case, broken chain of possession. She might not have left it there. It could have been pickpocketed and the drug inserted and then put back to get found.
Haven’t heard hides or tails about how much quantity is involved but or which agency referred the charges. Wonder if she had just over the serious crime quantity? 1oz? and eight ball? I’m pretty sure you can’t fit kilos in a wallet.
Then again, who found the wallet? Some stranger who brought it to the police or one of the air crew. If I found it while on duty in an aircrew I would just contact her if possible, or in my younger days I would have just kept the cocaine and dropped the wallet in the post box.
Agreed.
Exactly...any 2nd year law student worth his/her salt could get this thrown out...that is, unless the fix is in! She should be glad she wasn’t Arkancided!
Yep. Chain of custody issue.
