At most trials they always say eye witnesses make for the worse evidence.
Have you ever sat in a class and then someone unknown to you walks into the room and talks to the teacher, and then leaves the room. The teacher then asks students to describe the person, they'll get ten different descriptions.
The prosecutor fought to have the toxicology report kept out of the trial, but after listening to the juror last night I came to the conclusion that he should of let it in. Trayvon's behavior of taking a slow route back to his father's place could of been contributed to being high, and he was somehow tripping on the rain, or whatever else fascinated him at the moment.

Judge Nelson allowed the toxicology report of trace amounts of marijuana in Trayvon Martin's system to be admitted as evidence. Why didn't the defense mention it?
