You'd have to do it pretty close in proximity to the drug test though. If he shaved it for the first time a couple days before I would buy that argument for sure, it's just like somebody smuggling in clean urine for a test. Clear intent to evade the test.You could definitely argue to a jury that the reason for doing so was to conceal the obvious exposure to cocaine, too. It implies knowledge of guilt, much like fleeing the country after committing a crime.
Keeping it short it ahead of time when he's not subjected to drug testing helps since it's a consistent behavior. He'll have to take the L and admit he's going bald or something though, you're not getting out of this unscathed. Thanks to how screwed up he is from the booze and coke he'd probably claim he had cancer...
I don't know if they're going to pretrial drug test him unless it's by the defense to help build his case. They have substantial evidence of the crimes he was charged with independent of any drug test results and I don't think any of them depend on actually using the substance itself.
