In reply to the discussion: I'll never forget the look in their eyes, they were terrified of me... [View all]MrScorpio
(73,610 posts)145. A helpful piece of advice for you since you haven't been posting a lot
It would help your ability to form cogent arguments about our text messages if you would simply read through the entirety of whatever you're replying to before you actually write your replies.
Hopefully, that's not too difficult of a concept for you, but take it from me, it gets much better with practice.
Happy DUing!

Well, I gather from the responses to my question that GZ did not say his head was bashed

The witness who says the Martin kid was on top did NOT see any blows strike anyone.

He wasn't injured other than the fatal shot, of course. Injured as in a fight.

Go out for a jog and try to scream while you are running. You can't be exerting yourself

I wasn't impressed with the jury pool -- shallow, lacking depth, from a gun culture.

But GZ did have injuries. Bloody seemingly broken or dislodged nose, bloody spot back of head.

The guy with the injuries was Trevon Martin. Namely a bullet through his heart.
