43. He jumped up after being shot in the heart?

Come on, even you can't believe that. There's no way he was in a condition to jump up.

And you're missing the part according to Z where he held Trayvon face down and spread his arms. Did the kid who had 2 holes in his heart and lungs full of blood jump up before or after that?

The jury will buy none of that.

trayvon's brother's testimony today Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #45

an excellent witness. Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #58

So he moved after Zimmerman was on top of him? Just Saying Jul 2013 #32

Only movement required, at that point, is pulling his arms back to grab where it hurts. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #36

Yet Z says he spread TMs arms and held him down which must've taken those few seconds. uppityperson Jul 2013 #40

According to the witness neighbor that came around the corner. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #44

He jumped up after being shot in the heart? Just Saying Jul 2013 #43

You are scrambling the timeline, GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #49

TM was in shock. Pulling his arms in to clutch "where it hurt" is Hollywood. uppityperson Jul 2013 #50

Dr. Bao said that TM would have been in severe pain. N/T GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #54
