Why is the THC in Trayvon's blood a "big piece of evidence"?
Regarding the injuries, the fact that Zimmerman and Martin fought is not disputed. Nor is the fact that Martin was winning the fight, and that Zimmerman sustained injuries. When I say that the evidence of injuries is not the biggest piece of evidence released, it is only because the injuries are not in dispute. What is in dispute is who started the fight, so, in my opinion, evidence that may shed light on who started the fight is more important than evidence of injuries sustained during the fight (if Zimmerman started the fight, it will be much more difficult for him to successfully establish a self-defense claim, regardless of his injuries).
Corey’s lead investigator, Det. Dale Gilbreath, stated under oath at GZ’s bond hearing that there was no evidence regarding who started the fight. This was after the statement given by the woman who supposedly saw a chase and then a fight.
It is a safe bet on who started the fight. Young, big, hopped-up thug with numerous arrests and suspensions OR not-so-big, not-so-young, upstanding citizen protecting his neighbors. Odds about 20 to 1 MINIMUM.
