58. The pictures are of a person shot in the chest

The first one shows him face down holding his chest the second one shows him rolled over dead. The third one shows him covered but still dead.
I think that if you could get a real good look at the second picture you could see where the chest wound is.
He was armed with skittles and a drink.
He was walking home minding his own business.
He was stalked by a man with a gun
Put yourself in his place. What would you have done?
Did Martin have a right to stand his ground? If he feared for his life did he have a right to defend himself? If he was shot while defending himself he can't be blamed for injuring Zimmerman. Since Zimmerman had the gun how could he claim he was standing his ground when he was the aggressor?

George Zimmerman Trial - how the hell can anyone look at the photos [View all] hedgehog Jun 2013 OP

The answer to that question is simple. ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #1

Does for me. That friggin Zimmerman pulled his gun and murdered unarmed teenager. Hoyt Jun 2013 #2

It is not possible to come to that conclusion based only on those pictures. ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #6

So, Trayvon murdered himself? MagickMuffin Jun 2013 #15

Oh damn. Thanks. I changed it. Hoyt Jun 2013 #19

LOL ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #55

It's OK to admit that your alert on me failed HangOnKids Jun 2013 #56

It was not me who alerted on you. ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #57

Martin did not collapse. He was shot dead. yardwork Jun 2013 #49

Which is a good reason to collapse to the ground. ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #50

The pictures are of a person shot in the chest upaloopa Jun 2013 #58

I don't think that picture really proves anything. Travis_0004 Jun 2013 #3

I'll be waiting to here testimony about Martin running away after being shot. hedgehog Jun 2013 #4

A shot in the heart is not instantaneous death. GreenStormCloud Jun 2013 #35

That's the way it is in movies. onehandle Jun 2013 #8

I'm not saying he ran a marathon, I'm just saying that if he ran 10 feet, the the pic proves nothing Travis_0004 Jun 2013 #14

Where in the pic did this all take place? ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #9

Somewhere south of the T intersection of the sidewalks csziggy Jun 2013 #25

Good find. Hoyt Jun 2013 #21

I just wonder John2 Jun 2013 #10

the problem too is the lighting and distance grok Jun 2013 #18

a better perspective grok Jun 2013 #12

So where was John2 Jun 2013 #22

i wasn't there so i don't have all the answers. grok Jun 2013 #26

It sure does look like the body is quite a ways from the cement Bjorn Against Jun 2013 #13

This poor photo gives a slightly ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #17

Thanks, that is quite a distance from the sidewalk. Bjorn Against Jun 2013 #20

We was very close to the sidewalk. Certainly less than 10 feet. Probably closer to 5 feet. Travis_0004 Jun 2013 #24

May not sound like much, but it looks too far away to be slamming anyone's head into the concrete Bjorn Against Jun 2013 #27

im wondering it it was a utility cover grok Jun 2013 #28

We will see if Zimmerman's defense claims that Trayvon was armed with a utility cover. Bjorn Against Jun 2013 #29

here is a better view of the utility cover. grok Jun 2013 #30

Except that utility cover is a fair distance from where Trayvon's body wound up magellan Jun 2013 #31

there is one every 10 or so feet. grok Jun 2013 #33

Well, if I were on the jury magellan Jun 2013 #34

that is not the only oddity. grok Jun 2013 #36

I downloaded the photo of Trayvon lying face down and brightened it magellan Jun 2013 #41

And the sidewalk is visible in the lower left corner. ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #43

Yep magellan Jun 2013 #44

So you are in contact with Zimmerman's defense yardwork Jun 2013 #51

My guess is about 5 feet Travis_0004 Jun 2013 #23

Yeah, I think you're right magellan Jun 2013 #45

I will remind everyone here that the autopsy report shows NO zimmerman dna on martin. niyad Jun 2013 #32

Are you sure you are talking about an "autopsy" report ? NM_Birder Jun 2013 #54

Completely irrelevant again. The issue is entirely did Trayvon have reasonable fear that MillennialDem Jun 2013 #37

What do you base that belief on? ManiacJoe Jun 2013 #38

Zimmerman while on the phone with the non-emergency dispatcher was watching MillennialDem Jun 2013 #39

I just saw one briefly and it was tough for me Rhiannon12866 Jun 2013 #48
