Judge Rules That Trayvon Martin's Toxicology Report May Be Entered Into Evidence

This will show marijuana in his body.

I think this is kind of a no-brainer ruling, but the cries of "Racist!" are as loud as you'd expect.

Mind you, I don't think having pot in your system makes you more aggressive. Quite the opposite. And I don't think they can even tell if he was high at the time or if the THC was from a week ago. But it is probative as to the possible state of mind and judgement of Martin.

A no-brainer decision, I think, as both Zimmerman's mental state and Martin's are in question. (The prosecution keeps pushing the theory that because Zimmerman cursed ("f***ing punks") that proves the "ill will and depraved heart" requirement of Murder 2.) But not especially probative.

But oh the screaming by people who know nothing except They Want Their Racial Justice.
