Zimmerman: Martin's last words were "it's over"

(CBS News) SANFORD, Fla., - The trial of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murdering Trayvon Martin is still months away, but the investigation continues.

CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann has come up with new information about what happened that February night when Zimmerman shot the unarmed teenager in a gated community in Sanford, Florida.

At the heart of this case is what happened of the course of 90 seconds: from the moment Zimmerman hung up with a non-emergency dispatcher -- to the first 911 call from a neighbor.

Wednesday new details emerged from sources close to the investigation. A responder at the crime scene told CBS News that he and others saw wounds on the knuckles of one of Martin's hands as he lay dead on this lawn, suggesting Martin had thrown a punch.

Zimmerman told police he fired the shot at point blank range while on his back, as the 17-year-old straddled him.

He also told investigators Martin did not die immediately but mumbled either "it's over" or "you got me."

Of course the DUmmies will bring out their pandering crying towels when they hear this, claiming that Trayvon was purely talking about his choir-boy, innocent life when he said “It’s over”, after he was “assaulted and murdered by that white racist”. (Gag)

No...the witness that photographed Zimmerman's head said there were powder burns on Tray's shirt.

Intermediate means a space in between....2", 10", 20"...There should be a real number to that...It can be tested.

I figured they would have Trayvon saying “It is finished” before his body ascended to heaven.

I know. What does that mean? Was Trayvon backing up? Z says he shot him from a position lying on his back with Trayvon straddling him? This piece does not fit.

I erred. Trayvon was in his hoodie, but it wasn’t the smiling picture of Zimmerman.

The leftists will spin this to mean that Zimmerman said “Go ahead punk, make my day!”

The best theory I’ve heard so far is that whoever reported on this incorrectly reported “intermediate” range, whereas the report actually says “indeterminate”.

Guess we’ll have to wait until the evidence is released to the public to know for sure.

I like it...However, I think of George playing dentist to Dredvon..."Now this may hurt for just a second. Just say ouch if it does".

It fits.....We have to be careful dealing with what we are told via the media and Tray’[s attorneys. It’s manipulation. Be patient.

Or as Bill Cosby put it, “First you say it, then you do it.”

Then again... here’s a website on gunshot wound forensics that mentionsm but does not define, “intermediate distance”:

http://www.relentlessdefense.com/forensics/gunshot-wounds/

... so I guess the term “intermediate range” IS in common use.
