Asjali (accused) assails the decision of the CA, which affirmed his
conviction for sale and possession of illegal drugs (shabu).
Accused argues that the alleged entrapment operation was
dubious, since the chain of custody, specifically the First Link,
was not followed by the apprehending Police Officers. Contrary to
what the Police Officers claim, Accused pleads that he was
merely playing “tong-its” at the time he was arbitrarily captured
by the Officers. It was established that Marking of the seized
drugs only happened inside the Police Station, and did not occur
immediately after seizure. Likewise, there were no photographs
taken, neither was an inventory receipt issued. Hence, Accused
begs this court for acquittal.
