87. Martin Had A Small Cut On Left Little Finger Near The Knuckle

Neither hand had Zimmerman's blood. When I listened to the DNA testimony it seems that they only checked objects and fingernail scraping for DNA. One expert said that Zimmerman's injuries to both his face and the back of his head were consistent with a single blow. It looks like Martin popped Zimmerman with a strong left jab that caused Zimmerman to fall and hit his head on the sidewalk. It is pretty obvious that Martin did not like the response Zimmerman gave to his question of "why are you following me" and let him have it. But Zimmerman, with his 46 pound weight advantage, quickly took control and ended things with a single shot aimed directly at the heart.

Keep in mind that there was exactly 40 seconds between "why are you following me" and the shot rang out. We know that a yelling match resulted in several people calling 911 and that subsided a little following by this frantic scream that lasted about 5 seconds with an very short pause in the middle but once the shot rang out everything went silent. With near total darkness none of the witnesses report with precision what went on. No one reported seeing the flash from the gunshot but with a contact shot there is nothing to see.

Zimmerman has said that Martin had his knees on his arms pinning them to the ground. That causes problems with other things Zimmerman has said. As dark as it was how could Martin have seen the gun and how from that position could Martin reach back to grab at the gun. Doing so would free up Zimmerman's arms. Also, from that high position how could Martin be either slamming Zimmerman's head into the sidewalk or raining down blows MMA style because Zimmerman's head would be too far underneath Martin's body to effectively administer either of those blows. But that all conflicts with what the medical examiners have said regarding Zimmerman's injuries. And how can Martin be beating the crap out of Zimmerman at the same time he is going for Zimmerman's gun. He could be doing one or the other but not both. And that is the real weakness of Zimmerman's story. While the individual acts could have happened they could not have happened in conjunction with one another. Just like Martin could not have jumped out from behind bushes and also come up behind him and blind side him with a sucker punch. But if he was hit with a sucker punch in that manner how is it that they engaged in a shouting match. After the shouting started did Zimmerman get popped as he reached down to grab his gun and it the darkness Martin was unaware of what was unfolding and it cost him his life. Lot's of possibilities but none of them comport with Zimmerman's story. Oh, and Zimmerman's mom said she had never heard George scream like that. Maybe that is because it was Martin screaming instead. She wasn't nearly as steady or convincing as was Martin's mom. My guess is that the jury saw that as well.
