George Zimmerman's Account Supported By Forensics, Expert Testifies
ABC News ^ | 07/09/2013 | SENI TIENABESO and MATT GUTMAN

Posted on 07/09/2013 1:29:09 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

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."

Just caught a bit from CNN and the anchor (Tipper?) was asking his trial attorneys about the firearms expert and how he actually helped the prosecution. The attorneys seemed to agree. Fox on the other hand goes along with ABC and agrees that the case is just about done and Zimmerman should be free.

Leftists created this monster and now they will have to suffer with the consequences..what the left wants most is a race riot, they dont care if they send an innocent man to jail for life all they want is something to take the focus away from Obama’s agenda and create a race war

How would verifying Zimmerman’s story help the prosecution?

As another FReeper astutely put it a few days ago, all that’s left is the rioting, looting and burning.

Isnt it funny how when blacks dont get what they want they riot, I wonder why the media doesn’t discuss that fact..when OJ was acquitted, I didnt riot, I was upset, but didnt go to Best Buy and snatch myself a new big screen TV

What does rioting, looting and burning mean?

How about, news stories? The MSM is fueling the fire for ratings. They are willing to cause America to burn so they can come in 4th to Fox News.

According to the race pimps, Trayvon was merely defending himself from a profiler.

Experts.

Generally speaking, the biggest liars in the entire judicial process.

Not saying any of the experts in this case lied, though.

Renowned Medical Expert: Zimmerman Got Hit In The Head At Least 6 Times

EXCERPT:

Forensic pathologist Vincent Di Maio's testimony during George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial directly conflicted with the testimony of the state's key medical experts.

Di Maio, a renowned expert on gunshot wounds, told jurors Tuesday he saw evidence of at least six impacts on Zimmerman's head. He also said those blows were likely the result of severe force, backing up Zimmerman's claims he killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in self-defense.

A race war army of blacks will carry a picture of obama as their flag. The left will say that if obama had a son... he would want retribution and obama will own the violence and death that will occur in America... all because an innocent man was found innocent and obama and holder's people will want a race war. The majority of ALL Americans do not want any of this garbage... black, white, yellow, green, purple or blue... but like amnesty and obamacare which we do not want... we will probably get a race war. I hope the States call out their Guard and show ZERO TOLERANCE for any violence.

What most blacks want are reparations..the same race baiters you see on TV would NEVER step foot in a black neighborhood..Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, they all live in White Neighborhoods..even Jesse Jackson once said that he feels safer in a white community..all of these famous black athletes and celebrities like Jamie Foxx, they all live in rich white communities..but the ones making death threats against Zimmerman and saying they will riot, they are the low information voters, the ones that want free stuff, they dont care about the cause, they just want freebies

It’s part of the soft bigotry of low expectations.
