Caption is - “Duherrrrrr!”
Significance often depends on context. From pics I have seen Zimmerman had a very bloodied and battered nose....makes one wince just to look at it. And he had blood running all down the back of his head from gashes. This is quite significant in that it bolsters his story of being on the ground being beaten up and having his head knocked into concrete. Now in regard to Zimmerman suffering irreversible brain damage or death I think we should be grateful that the Martin did not yet achieve such damage. Perhaps the prosecution regrets this, and would prefer that innocent neighborhood watchman be more significantly and permanently injured or killed.
there were years of complaints about her unsanitary procedures, including such [STOP IF EATING DINNER] pleasantries as Dr. Rao washing her feet in the autopsy sink,
Is she a moslem? I’ve read that they have to wash their feet if they fart.
What a pig.
“Ms. Rao, if Trayvon Martin had continued to reign blows down upon Mr. Zimmerman’s face and slam his head into the concrete, would he eventually have suffered injuries that you would consider significant?”
“Ms. Rao, can a person who is being beaten accurately determine at what point he will lose consciousness and be rendered incapable of defending himself?”
Too bad the defense didn’t ask those questions. The judge would have disregarded them as speculative, though.
That’s the thing about self defense, you do it to prevent yourself from sustaining significant injuries with the belief that you will if you don’t act. Democrats seem to think you need to have actuallu suffered brain damage before you act. That isn’t how it works.
lol
Given what else they wash with hoses, I wouldn’t want to use any facilities after she is finished.
Means nothing as far as this trial goes. The jury will never hear it, and the defense will never be permitted to show it.
That has been exactly my point from the beginning!
What do his head injuries have to do with the fact that Martin and Zimmerman fought for control of Zimmerman’s gun?
Exactly! Z defended himself while he still had the ability to do so.
Hadn’t had a chance to watch it yet... Now, I am not so sure that I want to.
Head injuries, even minor ones, are always cause for concern regardless of their appearance or their ultimate severity. Would a reasonable medical professional tell a parent to not go to the ER if their child sustained a head injury that resulted in bleeding from the nose and posterior skull for example? No. they would not. Not a chance in hell. The defense needs to be all over this IMO.
I bet she wouldn’t have considered it insignificant if the defense lawyer approached her and punched her in the nose .... bet she would have been bitching and suing for the horrendous injury inflicted upon her.
To understand, the ME needs similar injuries inflicted on her sorry ass. Then make a judgement call.
Having received similar injuries in a similar manner, I beg to differ with the medical examiner. Head-concrete interactions are extremely unpleasant, and with no more blood or lost skin than Zimmerman, I had headaches for weeks. Similarly, fist-nose interactions leading to a broken nose (as diagnosed in his medical report) have always ranked as ‘significant’ in my life.
Call 10 doctors and/or nurses up and ask them if you should take your child to the ER after he/she sustained a “minor head injury” that resulted in profuse bleeding from the nose and posterior skull and I guarantee you, you will get the same answer from all 10 medical professionals: YES.
You don’t need injuries in order to be in fear for your life and shoot someone in self defense. So then why bring up this prefabricating pathologist to lie and destroy her career???
Answer: the state needs to shorten the beatdown from 24+ blows to just 3 blows so as to fit its timeline for its theory of the case. 3 blows leaves more time for a chase through the complex as the state is alleging while 24 blows leaves less time. With less time we would have to go from NEN call hangup to walk back to the T to a verbal exchange to a 24+ blow beatdown using up all the time.
What??? No chase??? We can’t have that. Everyone knows that all good police stories have a chase scene and the state does not want to disappoint its fans.
Exactly.
Let me beat that witness’s head into the ground and give her a cod e word to stop it. How many time will it take before she shouts?
Her testimony amounts to nothing. Especially since she is in cahoots with the prosecutor.
