I still believe, that in the struggle, it wasn't Zimmerman's finger that pulled the trigger. If it was, then it is more likely that Trayvon was 'pulling' on the pistol, which unfortunately was pointed right at his chest.

That's another question I've had. Who had and where was the gunshot residue located? Where were the fingerprints located on the gun? And, as always, where the heck were the Skittles and AZ iced tea and what was M shoving down his waistband?

I don't believe that I have found, in any testimony or written statements, anything about the Skittles and Iced Tea.

IIRC, this 'info' came from family/friends/girlfriend.

More likely it was a statement by one of those NOT on scene, as some kind of common slang. FOR ALL WE KNOW... saying Trayvon went to the local 7-11 for Skittles and Iced Tea is wannabe gangsta rap for getting out of the house and doin some 'bidnezz', or just hanging out in the parking lot causing trouble. Who knows?

I.E. although it may say in police reports that his family 'said' he went for those items, it doesn't mean that those items were found on him. Or were they?

It that was listed as evidence in any official statement, I have missed it.

Here is a question I had.

What ‘teenager’ walks 6 miles each way to go to 7-11 to get Skittles and AZ-IT for his 20 year old cousin?

Where were the fingerprints located on the gun?

My guess is that Martin's thumbprint might be on the trigger. Zimmerman would likely carry on the left side, which would be Martin's right. Martin grabbed for the gun, pulling it out and immediately getting his finger on the trigger (which is not what an experienced gun handler would do). Zimmerman immediately quit defending his face and tried to keep Martin from getting his finger on or pulling the trigger.

Mr. Zimmerman's STATEMENTS were that Martin grabbed for the gun, after beating on him, and Zimmerman struggled to get the gun back, and then ... boom... Martin keeled over dead.

I never heard Zimmerman state that he intentionally aimed at or intentionally pulled the trigger to kill Trayvon.

I don't think that was on his mind. Otherwise he would have had his gun out already.

I haven't heard ANYTHING about where the Skittles and AZ Tea were. If he was getting them for his cousin (or brother), they should be recorded in the police and investigators’ reports. No mention.

He may have been putting his cell phone in his waistband. May have been. My question: where was the entry wound? To the chest yes, but close to the heart? If in the heart that might explain no postmortem bruising, if I understand a few Freeper posts upthread.
