What Most Drivers Know

A woman drove into the country from across the southern border. Officers found 56 packages of methamphetamine, just over 54 pounds, hidden in the door panels and the boot. She said the car was her boyfriend's and she had no idea the drugs were there. She had met him only two or three times and did not know his phone number or address. The crime requires proof she knew. Over her objection, the prosecution called a federal agent who told the jury that in most cases the driver knows the drugs are in the car.
