52. As a martial artist.

The kid was half the mass of Zimmerman.

He was also 17-years-old and a football player. From Zimmerman's 2005 mug shot, he seems somewhat of a fatbody.

As a martial artist, let me tell you, an in-shape 17-year-old can easily beat up an out-of-shape 28-year-old, even if the 28-year-old is overweight.

You could have stated, "after Zimmerman shot the kid he panicked and tried to show there was probable cause to justify the shooting incident; Zimmerman cut himself and rolled in t he grass to try and show there was some sort of altercation to back up his story."

Did he bloody his own nose, too?

It's possible, I suppose.

It's hard to believe that standing over a dead body with a smoking gun is not probable cause. Kablooie Mar 2012 #38
