12/23/94 State Minnesota V. Paula Michele Williams

Criminal defendant claiming she did not consciously possess illegal drugs found in her luggage is entitled to new trial because prosecutor committed plain error of a prejudicial nature in improperly eliciting clearly inadmissible hearsay evidence relating to that issue, improperly eliciting clearly inadmissible evidence that defendant fit a so-called "drug courier profile," and improperly belittling the defense of lack of conscious possession as the only defense that was available to defendant.
