Possesion is 9/10ths of the law is a bunch of bullshyt y'all hear in movies. That would ONLY matter if WE found 100. You picked it up. But I tried to sue and say it was mine. Well neither of us can PROVE it was ours. So because you have it, you'd win by default
When something is CLEARLY mine. As in..... Tv clips with the damn nba commissioner handing them to me. My name on them. You selling them as "MY" memorabilia. Well then it's pretty much established that it was mine. Now what his mom has to do is show some PROOF. Not oh he had told me. But paperwork. Hard evidence. That Kobe GAVE these to you, transferring OWNERSHIP. Not possession.
Again. If I let you hold my car. But the paperwork is in my name. Then legally it'll never be yours unless you can prove I said you own it now
Although this isn't actually correct, this principle can be restated as: "in a property dispute (whether real or personal), in the absence of clear and compelling testimony or documentation to the contrary, the person in actual possession of the property is presumed to be the rightful owner. The rightful owner shall have their possession returned to them; if taken or used. The shirt or blouse you are currently wearing is presumed to be yours, unless someone can prove that it is not".
Now he can prove it is his. How can she PROVE he gave her ownership. Besides her saying he said it. Of course all he gonna do is say he didn't. Then show proof it was his first and there was never a transfer of ownership. She was just holding it for him
