I think Zimmerman had only one hand to "defend" himself Voice for Peace Jul 2013 #62

The same could be said for Trayvon's right to defend himself. Just Saying Jul 2013 #72

Not the way it works. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #78

Check out the U.S. Army height/weight/age standards. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #97

Zimmy was 185 lbs. Not 200. He is obese now, but did not weigh 200 Lbs at time of shooting. uppityperson Jul 2013 #119

200 lbs. See link. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #125

I was going by what was by his photo, this. Thank you. uppityperson Jul 2013 #132

Trayvon last played football at age 13 JimDandy Jul 2013 #217

Thank you for taking the time to counter the claims. It gets old and I appreciate your doing it. nt uppityperson Jul 2013 #218

Nowhere near the concrete? GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #135

This goes back to that wonderful post saying " Trayvon should have just dodged the bullet" bravenak Jul 2013 #169

Dr. Bao has just testified that TM was alive for 1 to 10 minutes after he was shot. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #247

He also said that Trayvon couldn't move after he was shot. Nt bravenak Jul 2013 #248

Semantics. I heard him pull the slide back mzmolly Jul 2013 #243

Not semantics Lurks Often Jul 2013 #244

It is relevant. mzmolly Jul 2013 #250

Then based on your own cite, you have just proven you did not hear the slide drawn back Lurks Often Jul 2013 #252

I heard what sounded like him, readying his gun. mzmolly Jul 2013 #253

Very familiar with those sounds Lurks Often Jul 2013 #254

He was out of his truck by that time. mzmolly Jul 2013 #255

Of course he had a bullet in the chamber Lurks Often Jul 2013 #264

Ahhh, protection. mzmolly Jul 2013 #268

My answer had nothing to do with whether the shooting was justified or not, Lurks Often Jul 2013 #269

OK. My timeline was off. You still didn't hear the slide being racked. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #265

The testimony goes against you. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #246

More semantics. I heard what sounded like Z getting his gun ready. Understand? mzmolly Jul 2013 #249

His gun was already ready and needed no further preperation. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #257

I hope you don't shoot an innocent person, mzmolly Jul 2013 #261

This forensic witness is fascinating Ruby the Liberal Jul 2013 #80

I don't think so, they established that the shot was at arms distance at least meaning there had to uponit7771 Jul 2013 #103

She made it clear that the gun was touching the fabric Lisa D Jul 2013 #104

Very clearly stated. Ninga Jul 2013 #110

How does that help the defense when Zimmerman claimed he thought the shot went wide Ruby the Liberal Jul 2013 #105

Doesn't. Ninga Jul 2013 #108

That he thought he missed is irrelevant to the positions. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #113

Good point, and a damn good reason to restrict people from carrying firearms in public. Hoyt Jul 2013 #122

HOW did Z straddle TM and spread his arms apart, yet TM had his arms under his body? uppityperson Jul 2013 #124

That requires speculaton on my part. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #131

Zimmerman claimed he wasn't sure if he even the gunshot even hit Trayvon. madaboutharry Jul 2013 #111

That is fairly common in self-defense shootings. GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #120

And, a good reason Zimmerman and others should not be allowed to carry in public. Hoyt Jul 2013 #126

Heard her testimony also; never heard her say Martin was shot in the back; lumpy Jul 2013 #177

See my post #191 N/T GreenStormCloud Jul 2013 #234
