Very true...but tampering with evidence in a murder trial is a serious matter.And given that this will probably wind up in the Federal courts as well that raises the stakes even higher for anyone who might try to "sanitize".
No limit was part of Trayvon’s twitter handle.... No limit is a popular MMA sponsor... Perfect fit for the original witness story that Trayvon was throwing MMA style blows prior to being shot.
Look up purple “drank” or “lean”
Skittles and Arizona watermelon juice two key ingredients
I believe Zimmerman when he said that his gun stayed in the holster until Martin found it, tried to grab it and threatened to kill him with it.
Zimmerman didn’t pull the gun on Martin while he was getting his head pounded into the concrete as self defense. But he would have had every right to do it.
I just hope that the jurors take their jobs seriously and don’t show up with an agenda.
If someone has a weapon, I do one of three things: (1) create distance between me and the weapon; (2) find cover (if a gun); or, (3) control the weapon. I DO NOT IGNORE the weapon/weapon arm. I do not take him down to the ground to bash his head in, unless I am fighting with what I believe to be an unarmed man.
The most likely sceanrio that fits the data: Martin initiates the assault, takes zimmerman off his feet, bashes his head, the weapon is exposed (shirt rides up exposing the IWB carry position), both go for the weapon ( or zimmerman thinks martin will now go for the weapon having seen it), a struggle for the weapon ensues, the winning operator with his hand on the grip fires.
I thought it was No Limit MF'er.
Yipes. I just looked it up.
I guess I must live a sheltered life...maybe it’s because I’m not a “Southern black rapper,” who, according to the article, are the leading consumers of this stuff.
I’ve always wondered about the skittles and Arizona iced tea part of the story, because those really aren’t things you’d walk several blocks at night to buy if you were just hungry or thirsty. But if he was taking them back to whip up a little concoction for himself, that would make sense.
“Do Federal prosecutors and/or the FBI have a legal obligation to share info they have in a particular matter with defense lawyers in a *state* trial?”
With limited exceptions, yes.
The active ingredient is prescription Robitussin, and one of the recommended methods of obtaining it is to “look through medicine cabinets”.
What I suspect is that someone at Trayvon’s father’s girlfriend’s house had a prescription that was left in a medicine cabinet and which Trayvon found fight before his trip to the store. The defense should try to pursue medical records of anyone who lived in that house for the past few years. Whether they can get search warrants is a good question.

Pretty amazing. I’m surprised this didn’t come out earlier when it was found that he was carrying watermelon ice tea and skittles, which seem to be 2/3 of the ingredients for this stuff.
Now that I know what to look for, I’ve seen that it’s all over the internet and is pretty wide-spread in the rapper-thug “community.” I should think that most of the cops would have known about it. But perhaps they weren’t allowed to say anything.
