(1,788 posts)Zimmerman get the gun with Trayvon on top of him, from his waist to his armpits (Zimmerman's police statement)? Did he have the gun out before, or was Trayvon on top of him getting off? If you remember, Zimmerman's weapon was in a holster,inside his pants, back behind his right hip (Zimmerman's re-enactment statement-he shows where his weapon was at).
Trajectory of the bullet was at 90 degrees. It only shows how the thing went thru, not were bodies were place. We can make assumptions. The problem is, this mess is assumptions....I, for one, cannot believe everything Zimmerman says. He was the murderer, he has the most to lose.
The injuries on the back of his head could have been from hitting pavement (by rolling around or being hit), or could have been hit by the sprinkler head...rocks...or any debris in the area...I do believe there was an altercation, but we will never know who was "winning," again, we have to rely on the person who lived....dead kids don't talk.
His nose...well he could have been punched by a scared teen ager being followed by a creepy guy...I would have-just saying....it could have been kick back from the weapon...it could have been rolling around in a fight...here's the deal-assumptions.
The cuts on Trayvon's finger could have happened before, during or after the altercation....the ME said that....more questions.
Everything relies on assumptions and believing the word of the man who has the most to lose.
I only know how I, as a woman, would feel in that situation. I only know how my son, a 19 year old, would react I asked him...he was 18 at the time). And I can only image want was going on....I rely on the evidence-which kind of sucks (great when you believe the killer) and those nasty ass assumptions
