Media reports have been focused on the news that traces of THC were found in Trayvon Martin's system, but the fact that George Zimmerman was on drugs on the night of the shooting seems to have slipped through the cracks. A paramedic report states that, the 28-year-old was under the influence of the prescription drug Temazepam, or Restoril, used to treat insomnia and anxiety. Side effects of the drug include hallucinations and aggressiveness, according to News One.
These new findings are among the extensive amounts of evidence that prosecutors are using to build their case against Zimmerman. More than 150 documents, combed through by special prosecutor Angela Corey, before bringing second-degree murder charges against him, have been made public in the last week. Zimmerman's attorney, Mike O'Mara was also given copies of the evidence to help in his defense case.
Perhaps most damning of the mounds of evidence is a police report faulting Zimmerman for Martin's death, calling the incident "avoidable," and stating that he should have been charged with manslaughter for the shooting. I GUESS NONE OF THIS MATTERS THOUGH??
I think the THC is irrelevant because of the amount. The amount is reflective of being taken up to 4 days prior and its not a mood altering drug for aggression. If it came to light Martin had taken say PCP that night, that would matter because that is a drug that is known to cause violence in people. This is probably not even going to be allowed to be introduced as evidence as its irrelevant.
Zimmermans alleged medications do matter because they are mood altering drugs known for causing the side effects I posted above.
I have no idea why people are focused on a little bit of THC and not drugs known for causing aggression and violence.
So again, we are on the same page.
