Which of the following is NOT a requirement for establishing possession in criminal law?

To establish possession in criminal law, there are key requirements that must typically be demonstrated: knowledge of the goods, consent to have the goods, and control over the goods.

Knowledge of the goods refers to a person’s awareness of the existence and nature of the items in their possession. Consent involves the individual recognizing their right to have the items, which could include ownership or agreement from the true owner. Control over the goods means that the person has the ability to exercise authority over them, such as being able to move or manage the items.

The requirement that involves the ability to sell the goods is not necessary for establishing possession. Possession does not inherently imply the right or ability to sell the items; it focuses instead on the person's knowledge, consent, and control. Hence, the ability to sell is not a requisite element in defining possession in the context of criminal law.
