"F.O.A.D." wrote in message news ![]() The witnesses so far seem to indicate that Zimmerman started the altercation, that the screaming seemed to be coming from Martin, that Zimmerman was on top of Martin after the gunshot, et cetera. ------------------------------------------- There's one piece of forensic evidence and also witness testimony regarding the color of the shirts or jackets that were worn that may convince the jury that Martin was on top of Zimmerman. The forensic evidence was introduced by the defense the first day of the trial and indicates that there was about an inch to two inches of space between Martin's shirt and where Zimmerman's bullet entered his body. It was determined by powder residue and burns. If Zimmerman was on top of Martin, it's unlikely any space would exist between Martin's shirt and his chest. However, if Martin was on top, leaning forward, the space would exist. I'll bet the defense focuses on that in their summation. I'll bet the jury doesn't give a **** about that and probably won't understand it, either. There are many ways the two shirts could be up close and personal to each other, or separated by an inch. However the jury decides, that ain't gonna be a critical factor. I have a growing feeling that Zimmerman is going to take the stand. Hope so. The Florida stand your ground law is a piece of **** and perhaps a conviction will sink it. |
