Honestly. I mean, come on, Ham, you know me, would I deliberately do something like that? Actually, better not answer. . . 8)

Well, in our case, the question of intent to sell revolved around the packaging. The guy had way too much cocaine for personal use, and was keeping it in a place too inconvenient for personal use. BUT, the police couldn't find any evidence of 'packaging' like the little papers or bags that dealers generally wrap the stuff in to sell.
BUT... In the jury room, we examined the sandwich bags that the drugs were in. The ones that had never been opened and 'cut' with other stuff were intact. But we noticed that the top fold-over flap (the part you stick back down into the bag to cover your sandwich, you know?) had been almost completely torn out of the bag that had been opened. It had a very jagged edge, suggesting repeated tearing of of small bits.
Now, a guy using the bag to hold his OWN stuff has no reason to do this. But a guy SELLING the stuff would be carrying the packaging with him. Sell a gram, tear off a bit of plastic, instant packaging. More you sell, more bits of the baggie become available for use as packaging.

Perhaps he was ripping off the pieces to package his own little supply when he went out for a night on the town?
And why little bits? Could it not have been one LARGE piece ripped off?
You came to one conclusion, the other guy came to a different one.

Too ragged for a single tear. And still no reason.
No, the other 'guy' didn't come to another conclusion (remind me not to have you as a witness, I said SHE when I spoke about this.). The other 'guy' didn't even LOOK at the evidence. Truthfully, I've never seen anybody so incredibly eager NOT to do ANYTHING, in my life. And she was proud of the fact that she was totally out of touch with reality -- "I don't read newspapers, watch tv, listen to the radio, or read books" -- a direct quote.

I'll get a friend to ask his dealer about packaging. Or maybe I'll find out myself, having a party this weekend.

Actually, I was hoping to work a joke in about the kind of cake referred to in "Brass Eye" but I suspect it'd fall a bit flat.
