I’ve also suspected that mj use, sale, or buying might be involved. But isn’t this “new insider info” just more speculation? Note that the post says of the toxicology data “when it comes back...” This implies it isn’t available now, and the poster does not actually claim that the lab leaked the results to his source.
I remember as a teenager, walking, running, biking for miles, going to a store for no urgent reason, etc., just to get out of the house and burn off excess energy. No drugs or crime were involved. Isn’t it just as (or more) plausible to imagine TM as a bored, antsy teenager, out roaming aimlessly to escape being couped up in daddy’s “fiance’s” tiny crib, away from his friends? Jumping GZ goes with being stupid, a condition not unassociated with the teen years, and stupid moves often have fatal results. That’s why troubled teens need parents to be with them, not away at a sports bar watching TV.
It does seem that he took a lot longer to get back than would be necessary...but maybe he was smelling the flowers, or birdwatching. Maybe he was hoping to see a prothonotary warbler.
I base my admittedly wild speculation on Martin’s drug use on a few things.
1. The reason he was in Sanford in the first place was that he had been expelled from school in the Miami area...for having a baggie with residue.
2. The Wagist site has some screen captures of people’s homage to Martin, after he died. At least two show photos of a rolled up ‘blunt’....giving some indication that MJ was a big part of his life.
3. The Wagist site has a screen cap of a Twitter from one of Martin’s friends...the friend asks where Martin is, and says he needs a ‘plant’...i.e. weed.
So, it seems pretty likely he was a drug user...or at least in the sales and marketing department.
And back to the night of the shooting - it was supposedly bad weather. And Martin presumably had the apartment to himself (if not, somebody would have noticed his lack of return, and associated it with the gunshot and 7 hour police presence in the neighborhood).
I can certainly understand going to make a candy run..but I’ve got the apartment to myself, the NBA all-star game is about to start, the weather is bad, I’m on the phone with my girlfriend...I’m making it a quick candy run. Which leads to my assumption that he may have been burning more than time.
Which finally leads to Zimmerman’s phone call, in which he states that he thinks Martin may be on drugs.
Just my opinion...wild speculation really....time will tell.
