| True, appellant was arrested while in possession of the regulated drug. This fact is not denied. However, appellant's lack of knowledge of the contents of the plastic bag casts a reasonable doubt as to her guilt. Her guilt cannot be sustained where the prosecution's evidence is anchored on shaky foundations. The prosecution has the onus probandi of establishing the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt.[20] Much as we abhor the proliferation of drug pushers, we cannot allow the incarceration of an individual based on insufficient factual nexus of said person's participation in the commission of the offense.[21] | |||||
