Drug possession is a very important issue when a defendant is appealing their drug case in Virginia. It may seem like a no-brainer, but the Commonwealth has to actually prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was possession by the defendant in order for them to be convicted. Now, that doesn’t mean that the defendant has to have his or her hands on the drugs at the time of the arrest for him to be convicted.
