The autopsy actually says he was 5'11" and 158 pounds.

Autopsy Report

Here is the complete discovery document. I found something very interesting that totally works in Zimmerman's favor. Starting on page 106 of the document below (it says "Page 3 of 6" at the bottom of the page), there is a discussion of a piece of evidence referred to as "Exhibit ME-8 Shirt represented as being from Trayvon Benjamin Martin."

This shirt was tested for blood, and failed to give chemical indications for blood. HOWEVER, a DNA analysis was done on four different stains on the shirt, as well as on swabbings from the lower sleeves of the shirt. The conclusion?

"Exhibit ME-8 Stain A - A complete DNA profile was obtained from exhibit ME-8 Stain A. This DNA profile is consistent with originating from a male individual and matches the DNA profile from George Michael Zimmerman (JR-2)."

"Exhibit ME-8 Stain D - The mixed DNA profile obtained from Exhibit ME-8 Stain D demonstrated the presence of at least two individuals...George Michael Zimmerman and Trayvon Benjamin Martin are included as possible contributors..."

In addition, there was a mixed DNA profile on Trayvon's left cuff/lower left sleeve, but that could not be conclusively tied to Zimmerman. In fact, if you continue reading, you'll find that there were also stains on Zimmerman's shirt that contained Martin's DNA (page 113 or so).

Defense will say Z swabbed his face with Trayvon’s shirt.

The autopsy also says that the abdomen was scaphoid and had 1.5cm of SQ fat. Martin was very lean and muscular. 5’11” and 158 lbs.

Seems like Trayvon’s cellphone was scattered on the grass but his headphones were in his pocket. I’m not sure how that could fit with “DeeDee’s” claims about Trayvon being attacked while he was still talking to her, unless he was talking to her without using his headset.

Somebody help me make sense out of p 105 where it’s talking about the swabs taken from the gun and holster. Seems like it’s saying that there were 2 people’s DNA on the handle, the main one being George Zimmerman and the other person being somebody besides Trayvon. There wasn’t enough found on the trigger or slide to determine anything. And there was DNA from at least 3 people on the holster - the chief one being George Zimmerman, and Trayvon can’t be ruled out as one of the other 2.

Do people handle other people’s guns and/or holsters? The cops wouldn’t have handled that stuff without gloves or something to keep their own DNA/fingerprints off, would they? What does all this mean?

5’11” is surprising and does not seem to match the height impression from the 7 11 store video.
