How does the author know this info? Is he working this case?
“for any of us outside the investigation to formulate a solid opinion”.
Ayoob has lots of connections with law-enforcement agencies around the country. Even if this is "grapevine" info, it's probably accurate.
Ayoob is or was a cop. He might have inside connections for info. I am a bit surprised he made the comment about possible drugs unless he had some reason to think it might be so.
Basically he is saying wait until all the info comes out before making judgement.
He did notice something which several of us also commented on earlier, that the mag was still full. It could be nothing more than the mag had been slightly unseated which has happened to me just from not paying attention but it could be important too.
The author is the country’s #1 self-defense shooting expert. He is in court as an expert witness on a routine basis in cases just like this, and has been for over 30 years. I’m sure he is gleaning every fact he can, and I would be shocked and amazed if he is not called as an expert by the defense, if Zimmerman is indicted and goes to trial.
