So how about that Zimmerman trial?

"drug use is ALWAYS considered in any crime like this"

Oh really. I don't think that is true. Particularly in a self-defense case, where the central issue is what Zimmermen knew about TM, and whether that informed his reasonable fear for his life. Perhaps if Zimmermen told the cop directly after the altercation, that TM was behaving and acting like someone on drugs, then it would be relevant that TM was in fact on drugs.

It's relevant because it gives credence to his claim ,and thus the case of the defense, that Zimmerman was threatened and in fear of his life.
