George Zimmerman Trial: Expert says evidence jibes with Zimmerman's story
AOL ^ | July 8, 2013

As the trial continues into its 11th day, forensic pathologist Dr. Vincent Di Maio took the stand to describe how and where Trayvon Martin was shot by George Zimmerman. An expert on gunshot wounds, Di Maio, hired by the defense, testified Tuesday that George Zimmerman's account of how he fatally shot Trayvon Martin is consistent with the forensic evidence.

Di Maio said that the trajectory of the bullet and gun powder on Martin's body supports Zimmerman's version that Martin was on top of him when Zimmerman fired his gun into Martin's chest. The gun's muzzle was against Martin's clothing and it was anywhere from two to four inches from Martin's skin, he said.

"This is consistent with Mr. Zimmerman's account that Mr. Martin was over him, leaning forward at the time he was shot," said Di Maio, the former chief medical examiner in San Antonio.

The pathologist also said it was likely Martin was conscious for 10 to 15 seconds after the shooting as a reserve supply of oxygen ran out of his body, and during that time it was possible for him to have moved his arms.....

Probably the AOL writer is hoping half the readers won’t know what “Jibes” means.

I think that means spinnaker is flapping around. No big deal, turn the rudder a bit into the wind and tie that sheet down.

He said "Martin was on top of him" which means he is trying to make Martin look gay.

I am pretty sure that my own personal threat level will go from "guns secure in the safe" to "guns loaded and on the nightstand" once the verdict hits the airwaves.

So the guy on top was screaming for help!? This testimony is kind of a problem for the prosecution.

I’ve seen a lot of braggadocio of “I’m always ready”.

Really?

You’re always living at the threat level of “imminent riots”?

That would suck. You can’t live like that.

Indeed, dart, your change of threat level preparedness makes sense.

What is it with freepers who always say “bring it on”? It sounds so embarrassing and bombastic!

IMHO there will be no riots. They will bide their time and do “hit and run” violence when people and the authorities aren’t prepared or expected to respond. I live in Fl. (around 1.5 hrs. from Sanford) and have already been seeing this behavior for a while. Memorial day it happened in several cities here.

It sounds like Zimmerman should be acquitted.

The prosecution has a very weak case from what I have heard.

But that is just my opinion.

I look at these stories to see where they’re from as much as I’m interested in the content, and I note this is AOL, not a site that’s previously biased in Zimmerman’s favor.

Just remember, acquittal is the prosecution’s goal. Agit-prop.

Had more people publicly voiced their readiness over the years instead of cowering in fear of ‘offending’, we may not be in the situation of ‘rioting imminent’.

Ya think? I do.
