I can see how it could be argued that the pot was immaterial, but his fighting seems to be absolutely relevant to the thug’s character and his mindset.
The thug isn’t on trial. He should have been before he met Zimmerman.
In this one case, I think the judges ruling correct. This is a case of the defense attorney trying to legally taint the jury pool. It may not be needed, but a good defense attorney will not miss a chance to do this.
Zimmerman was legally correct standing outside his car. He was legally correct to ask Trayvon what he was doing. He was legally correct defending himself when potentially deadly force was being deployed against him.
Especially since it came out in court today that Trayvon recorded on his phone two of his buddies beating up a homeless man.
