• holding that facts “barely” fell short of “support[ing] a finding of constructive possession” when officer found gun under passenger defendant’s seat after observing defendant’s “shoulder . . . dip as if [he] were reaching under the seat”
• only evidence produced was weapon's ___ discovery in vehicle and testimony that defendant \dipped his shoulder\ as police officer approached vehicle
• “Blue’s shoulder dip alone does not transform Blue from a mere passenger in the car to a possessor of whatever is discovered underneath the seat in which he is sitting.”
