WAIT!! WAIT!!!.....

A 200lb, physically fit, grown man with almost a years worth of MMA training AND had a gun ....

Gets BEAT UP by a 150-ish lb 10 grade kid?!?!?!?!??!

Yeeeeeah......

Fuck that .....I'm not even going to try to go through the mental contortions it takes to believe that kind of fucked up ass'd story...

Trayvon might have fought BACK ....... but I don't believe for a second he BEAT UP George Zimmerman and left NO blood, DNA or anything else on Trayvon Martins hands outside of finger scrapes


A black child doesn't come out of the womb a welter weight boxing champion contender.... this is some bullshit

Wasn't Trayvon entitled to fight for his own life - he didn't go after anyone.
That fugging racist, pathological, liar, loser, wanna be cop and man who has been in fights before went after the kid and murdered him. he got out of his car hunting that teenager with a fucking gun.
I hope Trayvon did fight back. He was returning to his father's place. Do young black men not have the right to walk in their own fucking neighborhood?
Off to prison for the murderer.

.... to indicate that GZ should have been able to easily handle TM in a fight because of Z's MMA training. Yet the evidence says that TM was on top pummeling GZ. That sounds to me like Travon was winning the fight despite GZ's MMA training. Once GZ realized he was getting his butt kicked he pulled his weapon and killed Trayvon.

How was TM 'winning the fight' without getting one speck of GZ's DNA on him?

Perhaps because Zimmerman stumbled when he approached Martin, and then used those injuries to CLAIM after the shooting that Martin was 'pummeling' him.

it brings to the fore the lack of real eyewitnesses to this aspect during the crucial time period of the shot.

but it was better for his story to claim that he was being throttled by Martin.

None of Zimmerman's DNA was on Martin.

If two people are struggling on the grass, they are likely rolling around. Therefore, I expect one person to be on top and other on the bottom. If they're rolling around, the one on the bottom is now on top. It depends on when the so-called witness saw what was happening. I could see a scenario of them rolling around during the struggle.

But the bottom line for me is that it doesn't matter who was on top.

What matters is that one person is dead, and the other person who claims to have been acting in self defense doesn't have any of his DNA on the dead person.

I know you're chearing for Zimmerman and therfore refuse to consider any alternative scenario, but at least be fair. It should be odd that forensics showed no DNA.

And all the Defense witnesses have been tainted. Tainted because they have been paid off; there's not one objective witness put up by the defense thus far. Not one.

enough to them to scare them, especially after they were followed? Aren't parents told to teach their children to do that?

That would have been the first question I asked every law enforcement officer called to the stand.

And every parent, too.

He was big and scary. They know that the jury is made up of mostly white women. They probably believe that these women have been socialized to be scared or threatened by black men. If they can prejudice the minds of these women on the jury, they've won the case.

That's why they are putting Trayvon on the stand rather than Zimmerman. It's working, too. Sadly it's working. Trayvon is dead. He can't defend himself. There's nothing that the prosecution can do to defend him, either.

All they got is forensics. That's the last hope for the prosecution: Forensics.

What I'm most concerned about is the ability for anyone carrying a gun to shoot an unarmed black male, then turn around and claim self defense. You know it's going to keep happening. If Zimmerman can get away with it, then others can, too.
