7 Because we find the presumption unconstitutional, we need not reach either (1) the question of whether the appellees forfeited their claim based on the court's failure to instruct regarding the "on the person" exception by failing to object to the trial judge's charge on this basis, see Wainwright v. Sykes, 433 U.S. 72, 97 S.Ct. 2497, 53 L.Ed.2d 594 (1977), or (2) the merits.
