re: #233 Blind Frog Belly White

You may recall that small, possibly trace amounts of marijuana in Philando Castile’s car were used by the NRA as an excuse not to protest his murder.

Just as with the “empty bags” that they’d been told were found in Trayvon Martin’s backpack, the purpose is to put the family on the defensive by making it look like their loved one was a “crook” and they’re “covering it up” with an eye to “cash in.” Before this ever sees trial, the defense wants to turn it into another “thug vs virtuous defender of justice” narrative.
