Jury duty

A few years back I sat on a jury in a drug possession case. The case against the guy was pretty weak, and we ended up finding him not guilty. The guy was in a car with two other adults and a 2 year old kid. He was in the back seat with the kid. The cops pulled the car over and eventually ended up searching it. They found a spoon and a syringe on the floor in the rear roughly where the guys feet were that had minute traces of ****** on them. All three of the adults were losers, having had previous legal problems with ******, and it was because of this that we could not prove"beyond a shadow of a doubt" that it was his stuff.

Afterwards the judge asked us why we decided he was not guilty, we told her that given the history of the other two adults either one of them could have passed the needle and spoon back to him to hide when they got pulled over, so we couldn't positively link ownership of the stuff to him. We told her we thought he was probably guilty, but could not prove it absolutely.
