- At the issuance of verdict, it was determined by the court that the Defendant was found guilty on the charge WF05. This was because there was enough reasonable suspicion that the defendant knew what was in the crate. The charge clearly states the following: ''A single individual in possession of 5 or more illegal or unlicensed firearms at one time exceeding personal use.'' Possession meaning: ''the state of having, owning, or controlling something.'' It is with this determination that the Defense feels that the charge 'WF05' should likewise be found non-guilty as logically, someone is unable to be in possession of the weapons without ever touching the crate and just being in the vicinity of said crate. The prosecution also failed to provide any evidence proving the defendant knew what was in the crate.
