Re: posession 9 points
The "points of the law" is an old maid's tale. Not true. Not recognized anywhere in the law. "Possession is nine points of the law" is what is usually heard on the street. Not a valid legal concept in any court. Were it so, thieves would be able to keep their ill gotten gains.
