Every leo has a round in the chamber ready to go, guess defense must be crapping bricks around them.

” The state also attempted to maximize the fact that Zimmerman’s gun was loaded, including a round in the chamber, before the fight. But Siewert admitted that guns are not of much use unless they are loaded and there is a round in the chamber.”

LOL!

If the little angle Trayvon was on his back and Zimmerman was on top, where are the grass stains on the little darling’s sweatshirt?

The state also attempted to maximize the fact that Zimmerman’s gun was loaded, including a round in the chamber, before the fight. But Siewert admitted that guns are not of much use unless they are loaded and there is a round in the chamber.

Best trial quote of the day.:>)

[tennmountainman]

Yep. Supports Z’s defense. The sweatshirt was hanging away from the
thug supporting the evidence the thug was on top grounding and pounding
Z.

[colorado tanker]

This trial is getting to be a joke. No wonder the initial decision was not to press charges.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I hope Eric Holder's people riot when Zimmerman is acquitted, and I hope a thousand Trayvons decide to play Knockout King on armed citizens.

I distinctly recall hearing Jesse Jackass say that Zimmerman hunted him down and shot him in the back while he was running away.

A reverend wouldn’t lie, right?

That's Retarded, Sir!

**** But Siewert admitted that guns are not of much use unless they are loaded and there is a round in the chamber.***

Reminds me of True Grit. Maybe Trayvon had a “li’l ole kingbolt.

Besides, if you press the muzzle of a semi auto against another person you often force the slide out of battery and the firearm will not fire.

[driftdiver]

Right about the heart.

[Dead Corpse]

My carry piece has one in the pipe, hammer down, safety on. Designed to be safe to carry that way, as are a lot of modern firearms.

A 1911 pattern is SUPPOSED to be carry “cocked and locked”.

Not sure what Z was carrying, but yeah... Without a round in the chamber, you are putting yourself at a serious disadvantage in a “OMFGINEEDITRIGHTNOW” situation.

[Gay State Conservative]

This surely argues in favor of GZ’s story.But get ready for Saint Tayvon’s bio-mom.Get ready for a damn flood of tears...in fact get ready for her to lunge at GZ trying to kill him.And watch for her to swear up and down that it was her jewelry thieving son who was yelling for help.I hope the defense asks her one simple question...”in the last 5 years of his life,did you ever personally witness your son in what can reasonably be described as a potentially life threatening situation?” If she answers “no” he than asks her “then how can you be sure what he,a 6 foot tall young man at the time of his death,might sound like,when heard on a poor quality recording,when he was yelling and screaming for his life?”

Bttt

The prosecution really should take a few minutes with these witnesses before they testify to make sure everyone’s on the same page. Just sayin’

Siewert testified, however, that there was no forensic evidence that Zimmerman had pressed the gun to Martin’s chest. In fact, the gunpowder residue and other material evidence showed that the gun was touched to Martin’s shirt, and that Martin’s shirt was not pressed to his chest, implying that Martin was on top of Zimmerman and that his shirt was hanging down when Zimmerman shot him.

It would have been VERY evident if Zimmerman had the muzzle pressed to Trayvon's chest. The muzzle blast from the gunpowder gases would have gone into Trayvon's body, causing very obvious damage in addition to what the bullet did.
