Whipple v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• State could not overcome evidence of equal access where nothing other than presumption of possession linked defendant to contraband in vehicle
• uncontro-verted evidence that noncharged third parties, in addition to the passenger, had access to the vehicle
• mere presence in car owned and accessed by others insufficient to establish constructive possession of cocaine found in headrest
• “Where it is established that other persons had equal access to the vehicle, the application of a presumption of possession of any contraband found in it is not a sound, abstract principle of law and is a dangerous rule for the numerous owners of motor vehicles.” (punctuation omitted)
