Um, no. I have no side on this fight, but a person's willingness to use marijuana or even get into fights neither speaks to credibility, nor propensity for Zimmerman's or Martin's behavior.

There's a reason why Federal and State rules of evidence have restrictions on "prior bad acts" as to relevancy in criminal and civil suits.
