In reply to the discussion: George Zimmerman Trial - how the hell can anyone look at the photos [View all]magellan
(13,257 posts)The flashlight #5 is clearly visible on the ground.

There's no utility cover between Trayvon's head (H) and #5 as you said above. There's no utility cover visible anywhere in the photo. And if you look at the photo you provided, you can see how far H is from #2.

In his reenactment, Z says T straddled him and beat his head against the sidewalk between the far right tree and #2. But T winds up lying closer to the utility cover at #7 if you take into account the angle of his body (F --> H). At the very least that suggests some unaccounted for movement occurred between T beating Z's head against sidewalk/utility cover and Z shooting him (the shell casing is marker 8).
Another discrepancy I noticed in Z's reenactment is he says his weapon was holstered when the police officer showed up. Funny thing is, he says he's been on top of T holding his arms out to the sides and asking the guy who showed up with the flashlight to help him, but not receiving any help. Was he holding the gun while holding down T all that time? And when did he have a chance to holster it before the cop appeared and he put up his hands?
I don't demand a perfect explanation, but some sense would be nice.
