Trayvon Martin: "...gunshot wound to the chest fired from “intermediate range,” ..." [View all]

http://www.eurweb.com/2012/05/trayvon-martin-autopsy-single-gunshot-wound-cut-on-knuckle/

*Florida teenager Trayvon Martin died from a single gunshot wound to the chest fired from “intermediate range,” according to an autopsy report reviewed Wednesday by NBC News

QUESTION: What does "intermediate range" mean?

Their are media sources no doubt trying to spin this story, the knuckle reports haven't been official

The official report, prepared by the medical examiner in Volusia County, Fla., also found that the 17-year-old had one other fresh injury – a small abrasion, no more than a quarter-inch in size – on his left ring finger below the knuckle.

NRA and it's homies are getting nervous or people reporting this are just being f**kin sloppy to no end.

Thx for any input

I am assuming that means there was a few feet between them. Not close. southernyankeebelle May 2012 #1

That's how I read it too....I'm thinking 5 - 6 ft which would be consistant with a fight... uponit7771 May 2012 #2

Even stranger is his family doctor now saying that Zimmerman had a broken nose and 2 black southernyankeebelle May 2012 #4

I'm not a doc but I saw the guy walk into the PS and saw little to no signs of this uponit7771 May 2012 #6

You know I don't remember seeing any black eyes or broken nose. I'm not a doctor. Got southernyankeebelle May 2012 #27

Some people said that you can develop those the black eyes days later. vaberella May 2012 #12

But you can't cover up a broken nose. southernyankeebelle May 2012 #26

And all Trayvon had was a small abrasion on his ring finger? Bake May 2012 #13

The MSM is reporting that he had wounds on his knuckles...that pisses me off to no end uponit7771 May 2012 #15

Does it stop swelling if you die? Shit, I don't know the body. Are there doctors on DU? n/t vaberella May 2012 #18

word uponit7771 May 2012 #20

You got that right. That is his family friend doctor. I don't trust them southernyankeebelle May 2012 #24

There is seriously something going on. vaberella May 2012 #8

What? You know that fucks up Zimmerman's claims right? vaberella May 2012 #5

It matters what "intermediate" range was, some stupid ass'd M$M reporters aren't reporting uponit7771 May 2012 #9

Intermediate range is somewhere between close and far slackmaster May 2012 #16

So we know nothing then? n/t vaberella May 2012 #17

We aren't forensic experts. I found a document from the UU school of medicine that may help slackmaster May 2012 #21

What do the police call it? What would a PA call "intermediate"? TIA uponit7771 May 2012 #19

I've always understood it to mean 'arm's length' (Edited- found a definition) PotatoChip May 2012 #23

The definitions I've seen say not in contact but close enough that there is powder "tattooing"... slackmaster May 2012 #25

Ha. Beat me to it. PotatoChip May 2012 #29

I totally agree with you. Zimmerman gets off it will be legal murder. southernyankeebelle May 2012 #30

I don't know about the 'intermediate range' but that crossed my mind the fresh abrasions. vaberella May 2012 #3

Man o man, the people involved in this were so sloppy no sense of professionalism at all... uponit7771 May 2012 #14

So not close range as in a close fight Quezacoatl May 2012 #7

Zimmerman's brother I believe claimed there was one; as told to him by Zimmerman. n/t vaberella May 2012 #10

I'm guessing this also, I don't know what that range could be officially but it doesn't look like it uponit7771 May 2012 #11

Intermediate range doesn't tell us much NoGOPZone May 2012 #22
