The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Rodriguez-Salcedo, 35 F.3d 573 (9th Cir. 1994):
In addition, the jury was free to disbelieve the defendants' version of events, including their contention that they knew nothing of the marijuana found. See United States v. Guzman, 446 F.2d 1137, 1139 (9th Cir.1971) ("The question of the occupant's knowledge of ... contraband is for the trier of act to answer, not a court of review"), cert. denied, 404 U.S. 1022 (1972).
