I didn’t follow all of the trial but surely there was evidence the shot was at close range. That and the trajectory of the bullet should have backed up GZs account. If he was out “to get” Thugvon, wouldnt he have shot at a safer range and with a different trajectory as a result?
What a crock this entire episode has been.
This man has been on top of the trial from day one: He explains the jury instructions given to the Zimmerman jury.

The prosecution’s spin was that Trayvon saw the gun, screamed (they did maintain that he was the screamer), and started to back off of Z, whereupon he was immediately shot.
