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.

Just to clarify, I am not talking about spaces between Martin's and
Zimmerman's shirts. I am talking about a 1 to 2 inch space between
Martin's shirt and his chest. That would be hard to exist if Martin
was on his back on the ground with Zimmerman on top of him. But, if
Martin was on top, leaning forward somewhat, the space would exist.
That's powerful evidence if I were a jury member, absent any eye
witness who knew with certainty who was on top. So far, there aren't
any.
