45. You see, this is the problem with some people who are trying to parse evidence.

I reported to you what GZ said. Nothing more. We are talking about a toxicology report that shows that GZ's report was correct.

None of my statements involves my opinion at all. It's merely objective support of a statement that was made. You and the jury and anyone else is free to determine, as fact finder, that it cannot be determined when someone is on drugs. But that has nothing to do with the fact that the report supports GZ's statement.

1. GZ says guy looks like he's on drugs or something.
2. Toxicology report shows guy was on drugs.

It's that simple. But like I said, jury may find that GZ wasn't able to determine if TM was on drugs, and then they can disregard the toxicology report.

(But my opinion is this....I smoked a lot of pot in my younger days and was around a lot of people...a lot...who also smoked pot, and did other drugs. I couldn't always tell if someone had been smoking pot, unless I had a conversation with them or got close enough to see their bloodshot eyes. Sometimes I could, though, by body movements or the way they were driving. Pot seemed to really sloooooow people down.)
