"We don't know how long Carter abused these drugs but Dr. Bridges says even the smallest amounts can change someone's behavior." I propose that the man may not have ever ABUSED these drugs. Instead, as the truck he was riding in was being stopped - he purposefully ingested anything that was on or about his person. He may have even been enticed to do so by others in the vehicle (I presume he was riding in the back seat of the truck which was stopped?). That would possibly explain why he would shoot himself. If he was not an experienced drug user (doesn't look like one to me and the article seems to be trying to get the point across that he *could* have had a 'high tolerance') then I can imagine that the laundry list of narcotics mentioned would have simply been too much for the young man. I know that I could not have ingested all of those simultaneously (not to imply that I have ever tried nor have I mixed and matched).

@toodlum48 The time that GSR remains on one's hands is roughly an hour. After that, there is a significantly diminished likelihood of a positive hit on a known shooter. Also, I would imagine that the fingerprints of Mr. Carter were likely on the trigger of the weapon *if* he used that weapon to kill himself with. That would be significantly easier to retrieve from the weapon and just as indicative of the presumed use. In short, I doubt that the Coroner's Office ever performs a GSR test due to the time which presumably lapses between death and the moment a Coroner begins an autopsy.

There is definitely something wrong with this story. The crime lab and autopsy department even admits they did not do any test on the young man's hands for gun powder residue. How in the hell can one commit suicide without the all-important and beyond any shadow of a doubt results of gun powder residue on his freaking hands? Give me a break!

@onemanvote - "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin" - Obammy

How, exactly, is President Obama a so-called race hustler?

Maybe someone should look into this case a little further. However, Jesse Jackson is an opportunist of the first order and is only interested in Jesse Jackson.

religionstinks - you left out OBAMA ( the race hustler at the top )

Jesse Jackson is a race hustler. This is how he and the other race hustlers such as Al Sharpton make their living. No matter what forensic evidence is presented, the race hustlers will do their self-promoting best to cast doubt and sow as much racial discord as possible.

There's racism and then there's this kind of hate-spewing internet commenting. I'm not a fan of Jessie Jackson, but I can't fault him in this situation. There needs to be a reconning for this man's death. No matter how you look at it, it's either a case of cops committing cold-blooded murder, or doing an obscenely terrible job and both options require attention and correction.

I knew this was coming!!
