>"There’s a lot of drugs in Bob Lee's system. I mean, Bob Lee's system is like the Walgreens of recreational drugs," Canny said outside the Hall of Justice in San Francisco on Tuesday, following a pre-trial hearing.
This is disgusting, offensive, and seems to be a hit piece against Bob to deflect from the cesspit of depravity that SF has become. In the eyes of Sinclair-owned media, when homeless people do drugs, they're "self-medicating", but if a wealthy CEO does them, they "make bad decisions and do bad things".
It doesn't even specify if Mr. Lee was intoxicated during his assault, or if these were metabolites from one or two weeks ago.
IMO they are trying to associate Mr. Lee's weekend partying with getting stabbed 3 times in the chest by a stranger.

No, its an attempt to use the victim’s drug use to suggest that his bad behavior led to his death to raise an alternative to it being criminal action by the defendant (or, at least, to raise the possibility of it being a lesser degree of criminality.) The defense attorney is representing the accused, not doing PR for the City of San Francisco, and, has no interest in trying to diminish the image of the city as a “cesspit of depravity”. > IMO they are trying to associate Mr. Lee's weekend partying with getting stabbed 3 times in the chest by a stranger. Note that the “they" here is the stranger’s defense attorney, so, yeah, of course they are trying to paint anything but their client as potentially responsible for the outcome. That’s their job.
