Would it not make sense when a killing takes place that both the victim and the killer be screened to shed light on any suspicions that any intoxicants influenced actions of either party? If he had run him over instead of shooting him they would of done one..? toxicology is expensive and invasive. absent probable cause, they arent allowed to do any random test they want. if he appeared to be under the influence, they would have noted it in the police reports and pursued, but they didnt which means its unlikely. | ||

Also for all intents and purposes the level is not indicative of being "high" Especially if he used with any frequency. Also being "high" on weed, and for anyone who's smoked it they know fighting is the last thing on your mind. If anything you'd be more likely to not take a fight you would otherwise have taken. | ||

Did Martin had a legitimate reason to be here or was he really planning something suspicious ? Did Zim followed him just because he was black ? According to police reports, Martin was most likely not planning or in the process of doing any criminal activity. As for the second question, I can't really answer that objectively so I won't do so. | ||

They also completely missed asking him about his military history. Yeah, it's hard to predict the relevance of that military history when it comes to identifying Zimmerman's stressed voice from his baseline talking voice, but the defense managed. Definitely well played on that one. Can't blame the prosecution for not seeing that one coming ... | ||

Don't know if this has already been posted, but two things: 1. Yupp, that was a questionable instagram post, insensitive 2. How crazy are some people to react to that by threatening rape? Holy shit sometimes we humans are so frustrating... | ||

At least two of my friends have completely sworn off weed because it makes them paranoid. One slightly, one very much so. So weed having a mellowing effect isn't a universal. | ||

Marijuana can also make you more suspicious or paranoid of others. | ||

I guess you've never heard of the Diaz brother's in the UFC. Nick and Nate diaz frequently use Marijuana and enjoy smoking before fighting. Marijuana may not cause effective hostile actions, but it does not debilitate them either. If anything, it would have had no effect one way or the other in terms of making him aggressive, so I don't see how it's relevant evidence. Especially 5 nanograms per ML. | ||

i am surprised she rejected the prosecutor's request for a "proffer," although really they should have asked for a Frye/Daubert hearing. | ||
