Trayvon pummels him, smothers him, and tries to crack his head open.
But as soon as Zimmerman gets control of the gun and gets a round off, suddenly it's a different story from Trayvon: "Okay, you got it, okay you got it!"
Trayvon probably had no clue at that split second how serious the damage would be from the shot. Maybe there was a fleeting moment when it crossed his mind that like 50 Cent or other gangsta/rapper heroes, that he would have a bullet scar to show off to impress other wannabe gangstas with.
But as soon as the tables were turned, and Zimmerman had control of the gun, it was "okay you got it, okay you got it" demanding Zimmerman to give him a break now that Zimmerman had the edge.
Trayvon likely didn't realize at that time that it was already too late and that the one round that Zimmerman managed to get off would be enough to kill him.
If the kid was a jit, we must aquit.
Sounds like Martin did not feel any pain from the bullet and therefore thought he was ok and likely was about to get off of Zimmerman since Zimmerman now had the edge. The bullet likely went right through his heart giving him a couple of seconds of conciousness and then death.
A fool kid in so many ways.
Angela Corey is going to be saying "Okay, you got it" to the defense attorney by the time this is over.
Rather than me. I was trying to get it, mind you. But you got it instead. No need to shoot me again, I give.
Everything Zimmerman has said about this fight fits.
If Martin was on top of Zimmerman and Zimmerman was the one calling for help, he is clearly innocent and the charges should be dropped ASAP. If there is some evidence to the contrary, it should be disclosed to Zimmerman’s attorneys, and, preferably, made public.
I thought that the 9mm is a complete waste as a self-defense weapon — at least that’s what I have been told by the .40 bots and .45 bots.
No doubt in my mind, if M could have gotten the gun, he would have used it.
What I have never understood is what was wrong with Zimmerman asking Trayvon what he was up to. All the kid had to do was explain that he went to 7/11 and was headed home.
“Hey bud, could I ask you what you’re doing in here?”
“Hi, my name is Trayvon. I just went to 7/11 and am now headed home. My dad lives right down there too. Why? What’s up?”
“Well, we’ve had some crimes committed in here, and I’m a neighbood watch guy, and I’m trying to help out.”
“Oh, okay. Well I live at xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. My phone number is xxx xxx xxxx. If you want, you can contact me whenever you like. Catch you later...”
He may have been talking to himself...
Sounds like the kind of thing I say to myself when I am hurt badly and am trying to get it together.
Just a sad situation. Not sure if Martin wanted to kill Zimmerman but if he had let up and not pounded his head in cement Martin would still be alive today. Zimmerman should have shot him in the leg but I doubt he had time to think about where he was going to shoot since he probably felt Martin was going for his gun at the point he shot.
Local news says judge just set bail, 150K, and Zimmerman will be released with an ankle monitoring collar.

Good analysis...a reasonable version of what happened
Treyvon’s parents seem like decent enough parents who just don’t want to admit to themselves that their 17 year old boy might have been an aspiring thug. Wanting to imitate some fight videos he saw on youtube and get some bragging rights for when he returned to Miami to live with his mother. How he beat on some cracker who was bugging him
Why was he not living at home with mother? He was sent to live with his father because he had been getting into trouble with the wrong crowd in Miami. His parenst wnated him away from them for a while
