The marijuana is just one of several pieces they'll use to paint that picture, imo.
Maybe he was a punk and a thug? Maybe he was easily inclined to jump someone? Maybe the drug, fighting, and gangsta culture he surrounded himself with are relevant?
I didn't know Trayvon Martin, so I don't know if the image that the defense might be looking to depict is accurate or not.
I only care about whether George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense or if Zimmerman is instead lying.
But, the trial will get into the issues that we're discussing here and some/all of them may influence the jury's verdict.
It's all interesting to me from the trial perspective.
