25. It Seems Zimmerman Went To MMA Sessions 3 Days A Week
Fri Jun 28, 2013, 06:33 PM
Jun 2013

And this witness said the person on top was throwing down blows MMA style. So just who was on top? While the injury report said Zimmerman went to aerobics the medical examiner went deeper questioning Zimmerman and he said they were MMA classes 3 days a week for 3 hours.

When someone has a 35 pound advantage, who do you suppose would be on top.

So this clearly opens up a possible mistaken identity by this witness on which person was on top and since the other witnesses have all said it was Zimmerman who was on top this could be a very critical undermining of this testimony. Keep in mind that Martins hands showed no swelling an no blood. Since Zimmerman had a bloody nose and lip where would Martin have been "pounding" if not about the face. Lastly, O'Mara focused mostly on the injuries on the skull, apparently to support Zimmerman was getting his head pounded against the sidewalk. Obviously, Martin could not be on top both throwing down MMA style blows and slamming Zimmerman's head into the sidewalk. Was this a blunder on the part of O'Mara? (The physical evidence then too does not comport with it being Martin on top).

Interesting twists and turns. Not definitive but not helpful to Zimmerman as the evidence is really starting to pile up against him.
