In order to convict you the commonwealth will have to prove that you constructively possesed the marijuana. They would need to prove: (1) that you had knowledge of it's presence and (2) that you exercised "dominion and control" over it. The commonwealth needs to prove these elements beyond a reasonable doubt. If they cannot, you will be acquitted. See my website for more helpful hints on the criminal process.
