Ihope he gets rich too. Two things:
1. The angle that bullet entered Martin’s body is critical to Zimmerman’s defense. If it is upward, Martin was above him after having knocked him down.
2. If the powder traces show that the muzzle blast was very close, Martin was on top of him.
They have not released any of that information.
I suspect both are true and Zimmerman will walk, as he should.
The subdivision had 400 police calls in the previous twelve months. It was not a peaceful area.
“2. If the powder traces show that the muzzle blast was very close, Martin was on top of him.”
The judge asked the investigator yesterday, the distance of the shot and he said ‘very close proximity’, gun powder residue on the sweatshirt.
I read either today or yesterday (sorry I don’t have source) that gunpowder burns were visible on Martin’s sweatshirt/hoodie whatever it’s called.
I’ve been reading on FR and another site.
If I can find the source I’ll post it to you.
Some one watches to many CSI episodes. I can construct a dozen ways that the angle would be up and the victim could be flat of his back. The best you can say about it is it could be such and such. If they then have someone do a computer animation then that will become fact to the jury.
