It was not uncommon, in the good ole days when I was an AUSA, for the defendant to claim that the bricks of cocaine found in the trunk of his car didn't belong to him.  Ditto with the dope in his luggage at the airport.  Or the magnum in his nightstand.

Still, you never want to underestimate the ability of the defense side to come up with even more, ummm, interesting stories involving denial of ownership.  But this one has to be among the all-time greats.

It really cracked me up, so to speak.
