Most definitely.
The ME was asked more than once about the toxicology report and the Judge had to warn more than once IN FRONT OF THE JURY about her ruling on the toxicology report
Meaning...you can’t discuss the contents. Defense was just getting in there that one was drawn and some specifics about where you would want to draw the blood etc.
It’s enough for them to wonder about the missing report.

I’d be surprised if MoM doesn’t bring up the dirty tox screen in front of the jury. Otherwise the jury might assume the reason it wasn’t entered into evidence is because it was clean.
Any rational person would assume such an obvious contributing factor would NOT be excluded....
