Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer, had the drug THC in his system the night of this death, according to new information obtained by ABC News.

The revelation came as prosecutors in the case prepared to release to the public hundreds of pages of new evidence along with videos and crime scene photos.

Martin's death sparked public outrage after police released Martin's shooter, George Zimmerman, without any criminal charges for the killing.

Zimmerman, 28, is a multi-racial Hispanic man who shot the black high school junior at close range on Feb. 26, and claimed self-defense, though Martin was unarmed. Zimmerman was later charged with second-degree murder, and the killing provoked widespread debate about racial profiling.

I’m SHOCKED.

THC is pot, BTW. IN case freepers are wondering.

Not poor, sweet little Trayvon.....say it isn’t so.

"...the killing provoked widespread debate about racial profiling."

The EneMedia is congenitally stupid. You can't "profile" unless you are an agent of the government. Private citizens are perfectly free to make judgements which consider race, when relevant. But there is no evidence that Zimmerman did even this.

[umgud]

At what levels I wonder. Any coke?

THC makes you violent....cops say you can break handcuffs.

Maybe his glaucoma was acting up and he needed to alleviate the pressure. (Right after “receiving” his skittles of course)

[Turbo Pig]

Zimmerman must have blown pot smoke into the little angel’s face...right before gunning him down in cold blood; the monster!

[jagusafr]

THC’s not the drug, it’s the metabolite of cannabis. Does it surprise anybody the kid had been smoking weed?

[khelus]

well, well, well

Meanwhile Martin's family disputes Zimmerman medical report

That nose is broken

[fwdude]

Not poor, sweet little Trayvon.....say it isn’t so.

"Whitey" must have snuck it in his baby bottle for his afternoon feeding.

[jagusafr]

tetrahydracannabinol. All that time as an Air Force defense counsel sometimes still comes in handy.

[Sudetenland]

?????

You trippin' dude. THC makes you as placid as an old hound. I doubt there are many things that would render a person less violent than pot.

[JRandomFreeper]

No, it doesn't. It makes you sleepy and makes you have the munchies.

Maybe you are thinking of PCP.

I think you’re thinking of PCP (angel dust). THC just makes you sleepy and craving pizza.

You're thinking of PCP. THC is just pot.
