Near the end of the clip GZ claims he shot TM and then TM started to sit up, saying "you got me" or whatever. (I understand from AC360 last night that TM was shot straight through the heart, which makes GZ's story somewhat hard to believe.) GZ goes on to say that he pushed TM off him, laid him face-down, and sat on TM's back, spreading TM's arms out from his body because he was afraid TM had a weapon or something in his hands. That is apparently the end of the physical confrontation as he says then a witness approached followed by a police officer.

The first police officer to arrive at the scene testified on the stand this week that when he arrived TM was lying face-down with his arms tucked under his body, as seen in police photos of the crime scene.

Yo George, how did Trayvon's arms get tucked under his body after you had spread them out because you were still afraid of him a guy who was surely good and dead by this time, being shot point blank directly through the heart?
