It matters what was in his hand, not his blood
It seemed like every time Wednesday afternoon I switched back to the broadcast of
the coroner's mlb jerseys inquest into the shooting of Scott by Metro police another doctor was testifying about Scott's use of various drugs morphine, Xanax, hydrocodone. It seemed, as the Scott family lawyer later avowed, an attempt to assassinate the character of the dead man, rather than an effort to get at what happened.
It was like accusing someone of a hate crime. It really makes no difference why someone committed a crime. It matters only that a crime occurred. Motive, proclivities, history of child abuse, psychology, drug use, drunkenness are irrelevant. The act is what counts.
The officers' rationale for shooting Scott is what matters. Were they justified, based on their knowledge that there was an armed man supposedly acting erratic and that man's behavior on being confronted by them, in killing him?
Finally, at the close of testimony on the first day of the inquest possibly in a nod to the law of primacy and recency, one is most persuaded by the first and last things heard a witness said she saw Scott pull and point a gun at an officer.
Since there apparently is no surveillance video of the incident, the jury will have to determine justification by relying on conflicting witness testimony and possibly audio from the 911 call to police, which may reveal whether Scott was ordered to drop his weapon and/or "get on the ground."
Whether he was juiced to the gills is not relevant.

I don't care if there was only a trace of blood in Erik Scott's drug system. I don't care about what was in his blood or his head. What was in his hand?
