For comparison notice the door behind him. Standard door height is 6' 8"s. Given the perspective from the photograph the door should look even taller than it actually is compared to Trayvon.
We conservatives need to drop the meme that Trayvon towered over Zimmerman in height; it's functionally the same as liberals who still claim that Zimmerman outweighed Trayvon by 70 pounds. They're both false and, with my apologies, it makes it look as if we don't know the facts.
The autopsy of Martin says he was 5'11". The police report made by the officer who saw Martin's body guessed he was 6'0" tall.
The "kid" was was 2" taller than 5'9" Zimmerman, that's all.
More like a 4 inch height difference. This from wikipedia:
“Zimmerman’s height is shown as 5’8” and his weight as 185 pounds on his Seminole County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Booking Information dated 4/11/2012.[55] Zimmerman’s height is shown as 5’7” and his weight at 200 pounds on the Sanford Police Department Offense Report for 2/26/2012.[56]”

Trayvon’s DL listed him at 6’00”,
