George Zimmerman's Account Supported By Forensics, Expert Testifies

The markings the fatal bullet left on Trayvon Martin's sweatshirt and body supports George Zimmerman's account that Martin was on top and leaning over him when Zimmerman shot and killed Martin, a leading forensics expert testified today.

"The medical evidence is consistent with his statement," Dr. Vincent Di Maio told the Florida court.

Di Maio said that the pattern of powder burns on Martin's sweatshirt and skin indicated that the shirt was two to four inches away from Martin's chest when he was shot by Zimmerman.

"Mr. Martin was over him, leaning forward," he said.

"If you are lying on your back your clothing is going to be against your chest," said Di Maio. "The clothing is consistent with someone leaning over the person doing the shooting."

Actually, maybe I’ll start selling red “I am George Zimmerman” sweatshirts.

Sounds more profitable than rioting.

Will the parents of Travon Martin speak out against violence, if the verdict is innocence for George Zimmerman. Or will they let the world burn?

The would-be rioters do realize that we are ready and waiting for them, don't they?

Well, yeah. That's why they won't be burning your neighborhood, or mine for that matter. But they were never really interested in burning down our houses. They want to crack open those Best Buys and Nordstroms. The modern a-go-go twist is their use of social media (combined with mass-transit) can help them pop up at Best Buys and Nordstroms in unpredictable locations around a metro area.

It might be prudent to steer clear of places that sell the bling the rioters want for a period of time.

Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how many hoodies you would have to sell to buy a single wide screen TV?

Or stand in front of one with my Zimmerman special.

Possibly. It would probably be best to keep the wimmin safe, though.

Hmm. You make a really good case there.

All right. I'm in. Im'a riot if George get convicted. Join with me, and we'll pick up a couple flatscreens and some nice cold Bud.

We won't get the chance, though. Even with Judge Kangaroo's help, I don't think the jury is gonna be able to find enough of an excuse to convict.

They can use this quote from the dearly departed Rodney King
