Where two or more people are present during the course of the execution of a search warrant the question jurors always ask is “whose drugs are these?”. The prosecution often tries to say that they belonged to everybody and that all of the people present were either principles or joint venturers in the illicit drug activity. Massachusetts law makes clear however that being “present only” is not grounds for a conviction. Many cases against people who were simply at or near the scene of a crime get dismissed.
