He was accused of throwing a rock at a police car that had been on the block hours before his arrest. He always denied the act, and the only evidence against him was a smell test of the rock. He was sentenced to two years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is this sufficient evidence to convict him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A smell test is not enough to convict someone for two main reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> How fallible the smell test is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> The Criminal Procedure Law itself establishes that evidence by itself has no value.
