Superior court judges in Pennsylvania have denied an inmate’s appeal, which claimed that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to show that drugs found protruding from his buttocks were his.

Edwin Wylie-Biggs, 36, of Clairton, Pennsylvania, was taken in for a strip search after a corrections officer at the State Correctional Institution at Fayette saw another inmate pass something to him on their way to the dining hall, the corrections officer testified.
