You say that there were 2 parcels in the police station in front of him - this is likely the point on which the entire case will hinge. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, the 250g order was split into 2 x 125g packages. The police intercepted the first package and likely started watching your friend's mail to ascertain whether or not this was part of a larger operation. When the second package turned up to the same address they could safely presume that the first package was not sent to that address by mistake, thus feeling that they could proceed with arresting, questioning and immediately charging your friend with a certain offense. The charge is most likely conspiracy to traffick a controlled substance with the intent of sale and supply, or similar. As he has already been charged that means that the police feel they have enough evidence to secure a conviction against him; you *cannot* be charged with an offense without evidence that an offense has been committed, and you *will not* [usually] be charged with an offense unless that evidence is strong enough to give the police reason to believe that they will win the case when it comes before the court. If they didn't think they could win the case they would have performed a controlled delivery and charged your friend with possession of a controlled substance and intent of sale and supply of same. Basically what that means is that your friend is sitting between a rock and a hard place; unless a lawyer can successfully argue that your friend had no knowledge of the packages in question, nor what they contained, it is quite likely that they will be convicted on a conspiracy charge. A conspiracy charge where two packages have been seized going to the same address on different dates is going to be much harder for a lawyer to defend against than a conspiracy charge where only one package has been seized going to an address. This is due to the inference produced by the fact that it is highly unlikely that a high value package would be mistakenly sent to the wrong address on two separate occasions. Libertas
