Her profound and cutting edge analysis was made in reference to four individuals who passed away in Libya, as I recall.
Trayvon got a bit too agitated, initiated a fight by going BACK from his yard to confront Zimmerman, and paid the ultimate price.
Zimmerman was found not guilty, and will collect millions from NBC and CNN but will also pay a price. He will spend a long time looking over his shoulder and he better be careful of where he is in a crowd.
You like to make **** up don't you. You should work for WND.

Show me that it's SOP to draw blood and do tox on every shooter.
If you want the entire story, then you test both.

RE: It wasn't just Skittles Trayvon was carrying
Toxicology on a dead person with a charge of murder is SOP.
Not having toxicology from a live person showing no outward indications of inebriation is also SOP. Even random traffic stops can't test for DUI without probably cause. Shooting someone is not probable cause to think someone is inebriated.
Having said that, whether Martin was making "lean" or not is immaterial. Just because he's done it before doesn't mean he was doing it then. If he had never acted aggressive before, it doesn't prove he wasn't acting aggressive then.
the simple fact is, you are innocent until PROVEN guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in this country. NOT by a preponderance of the evidence, but BEYOND a reasonable doubt. Therefore, barring specific forensic evidence to rule out his story beyond a reasonable doubt, Zimmerman walks. That is the burden and that is what happened.... and honestly, anyone who thinks that should be changed... particularly in this day and age when so much is recorded and videotaped and forensic science is so developed... is crazy. That doesn't mean mistakes don't happen. Guilty people walk all the time. What it means is that we have decided that it is better for a few guilty people to walk than for an even smaller few innocent people to get convicted.

Do you understand what "yellow fatty metamorphasis" in a 17 year old liver means?

http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=677840
Read the report. It states regarding the liver, "no diagnostic abnormalities". Regarding "yellow fatty metamorphosis" the word before it is "mild" and yes I know what it is. I have yet to see any reference to the "lean" in anything you have linked. It is often related to alcohol use, but not always. In fact my mother-in-law, someone that has never had a drink in her life and certainly doesn't mix up the lean is dealing with liver problems related to fatty liver.
Face it, this is total speculation with no basis in fact.
Lot more than total speculation having two of the three elements for making Lean and evidence of previous use probably.
Two elements of curing short term hunger, candy and something to drink. I still haven't seen any evidence of previous "lean" use. His liver was a little fatty and he was young. That isn't evidence.
Face it. The dude was making lean. He was even trying to find codeine online.

Not what I asked is it?
Do you think or know if it is standard procedure to take blood and test of everyone who shoots at another person? It *IS* SOP to do panels on a corpse as part of an autopsy.

That is for pseudoephedrine. Dextromethorphan is sold without an id check. Sadly, these ghetto kids, influenced by idiots like Lil Wayne will change that.

Thank you. Suppositions on the deceased "intensions" is nothing but inflammatory........and those doing it are doing it for that exact reason - and they are suppositions.

Not in Michigan (and also Ohio). Here, whenever you buy any cough medicine (and most other OTC drugs) the counterperson usually confirms your age by typing something into their register. If you're borderline on age they ask to see your ID.
For Sudafed, you have to show (or swipe) your DL and they write down info from it.

I just looked up the Michigan law and it say they only do that for ephedrine products, but I'll take your word for it. That's really stupid if they do that. I can understand the ephedrine. Aspirin is ridiculous.

It could be just a store policy to make sure minors aren't buying cough syrup...likely a legal decision by the stores.
The difference on the Sudafed though is that they're taking down your name and the quantity you purchased, and not just checking your ID as if you're buying a pack of smokes.
