Trayvon Martin was shot at 7:16 in the evening

[MH1]

122. I agree. I think it hasn't actually been proven that his head contacted concrete.

We only have the defendant's word to go on here.

I'm not convinced he was laying on his back, either. (I only wanted to point out that it's a very plausible explanation of GZ's injuries.)

I don't think ANYONE knows except GZ - and I bet a psychologist would confirm that some people are quite capable of lying to themselves well enough to change the way they remember events. So even GZ doesn't absolutely know at this point.

We have conflicting stories from witnesses in a low-light situation where (I think) no one is claiming to be sure what they saw.

In my mind the jury has to stick to the solid facts. GZ has some minor injuries, but there is no way to know how he obtained them. What is known is that he carried a gun, followed a teenager who was doing nothing wrong, and who (before being followed, at least) did not approach GZ, and the teenager ended up dead of a bullet fired by GZ from his gun. These are the core known facts, and to me they point, at a minimum and depending on Florida law, to manslaughter or negligent homicide. I'm not sure what the technical requirements are for those charges or what they mean in terms of sentencing, but in any case, if FL law does not allow him to be convicted of SOMETHING, then it's a horrible law, a horrible precedent, and the law MUST be changed, or there will be a lot more killings.
