For anyone who thinks Travon Martin was "bashing" Zims head on the sidewalk:

[bunnies]

Oh, rly? Kinda hard to do from that distance.

[winter is coming]

1. That sidewalk is made of Sponge Concrete [TM].

Absorbs impacts and liquids.

[Cirque du So-What]

2. I certainly don't believe it

but I'm curious as to what this photo reveals in the way of proof of anything. I can be frustratingly dense sometimes, so please indulge me and let me know what I should be seeing.

[bunnies]

3. The sidewalk is at least 6 feet away from Trayvon.

No way he could have been banging Zimmermans head on it from there.

[arcane1]

7. Is that what that yellow thinig is, Martin's body covered up?

[bunnies]

10. Yes. nt

[lumpy]

32. In the walk through with the investigator Zimmerman indicated the head banging was near that

tree in the foreground. He didn't mention that they changed location to where the body lay.
If I recall correctly.

[Ohio Joe]

4. That is a fine pile of bullshit Z put forth with that one...

Someone starts bashing your head into the sidewalk and you don't get up.

[bunnies]

6. or walk away with 2 little scratches.

[HockeyMom]

5. Looks like what they put down in playgrounds

so if a child fall off a swing or something they won't break their head open. At least up North they do. Florida just uses sand instead.

[bunnies]

9. yep. But they werent even close to the sidewalk.

So unless Zim wants us to believe that Trayvon flew 6' backwards when he shot him his story makes no damn sense. Its absurd.

[NoOneMan]

8. If Zimmerman was "ambushed" while walking down that path

Wouldn't he have been knocked backwards with his feet angled towards the path, on the other side of it?

The very positioning of the bodies indicate that Zimmerman stepped off the path at least 2 full body lengths toward Martin, before having been knocked to his back. I am not sure why the prosecution missed this very elementary fact

[bunnies]

11. Yep. And if the whole fight was T on top of Z...

as Zimmy claims, then they were never even near the sidewalk based on the position of Trayvons body.

[TorchTheWitch]

27. that pissed me off too

How on earth did they not bother to mention anything about that? They were no where near the concrete.

Hopefully, the jury will see that obvious point themselves even though the prosecution somehow missed it.

[Booster]

35. Also, didn't Z say that Trayvon jumped out of the bushes to attack him? What bushes?

[polly7]

12. And his earbuds and phone were found right next to his head.

There is no way they'd be there if the 'death fight' Zimmerman described took place on the concrete. And, if Trayvon had jumped out at Zimmerman from the bushes (what bushes???), he'd have tossed or set down his phone before his 'attack'. Seeing all of these pictures the last few days has just reinforced for me that Zimmerman is not only a murderer, he's a really bad liar.

[bunnies]

13. Not a shred of his story makes sense.

Youre right. People do certain things before a fight if they know theyre about to be in. Like with women... if she puts her hair up and takes her shoes off you *know* its about to be on.

If T was the fighter the defense wants us to believe he was, he'd have probably prepared for it. Yet he didnt. Wonder why.

[polly7]

14. Exactly, bunnies. nt.

[all american girl]

15. The distance doesn't fit, you must convict.

To give credit wear credit is do....my hubby.

And I'm not making light of a very, very sad situation.

[bunnies]

16. Considering the Zimmy defender using the OJ reference in the other thread...

I think its apt. Well done.

[all american girl]

31. Thank you

and I take a bow to my husband. I showed this dumbass picture to him and he cleverly said that....I married very, very well

[tblue37]

17. If the jurors saw these photos, they cannot

possibly believe that Trayvon was bashing Z's head, breaking his nose, or seriously injuring him in any way--certainly not to the degree that Z would think his life was in anger.

Those are little bandaid boo-boos. In fact, the facial boo-boos aren't even bad enough for a bandaid, and once the blood is wiped off, the head boo-boos are probably just as minor!

[bunnies]

19. omg.

I hadnt seen the cleaned up nose one. No part of him ever hit that sidewalk. Its crystal clear. His damn head would have been split wide open. And he didnt even bother to see a doctor! I dont know about you but if my head gets "bashed" into the sidewalk even ONCE, Im going straight to the ER to get it checked out.

[tblue37]

23. Right. Every photo we got to see

was probably taken right afterward, and they always showed a lot more blood on his head and face.

The head and face are well supplied with blood. Every new mother soon learns that head and face boo-boos bleed copiously, even when they are insignificant. We discover this fact the first time our precious baby gets such a boo-boo. We are initially certain that our child has suffered a mortal wound, only to discover after cleaning the injury up that it is no more severe than those on Z's face in the photo I posted.

[bunnies]

25. You just reminded me of when I was young...

and tripped running down the street. I hit it face first. Split my chin wide open and it gushed all down the front of me. By the time I got home it was all over my shirt, face and hands. I looked like I was about to die, it bled so much.

And there again the point is made that his head was never bashed on the sidewalk. My chin took 12 stitches. Zims? Not even a band-aid.

[all american girl]

33. Bunnies, you reminded me of my brother...

we were in grade school. He decided to ride his bike down a hill. He fell off, hitting his chin and knocking a tooth out. When the neighbor kid brought him home, his orange and white strip shirt was red. Most of it was from his chin. He, also needed stitches, I can't remember how much.

when my son was 4 1/2, he fell down the stairs and sliced his forehead opened. He had 7 stitches...there was blood everywhere. The cut was about 1 1/2 to maybe 2 inches...it was bad enough that they had to put a stitch inside...I call hokum on Zimmerman.

[all american girl]

34. Sorry Bunnies, double post. I just wanted to edit

I will now give up on that....

[bunnies]

36. So many of us with scars on our chins.

Surely the jury members (at least some) have had experiences like ours call hokum on him as well. As my mother used to say... he's so full of shit his eyes are brown. heh.

[all american girl]

37. You made me laugh!!!!!!! Thanxs!!!!!!

[gollygee]

18. So where are the bushes

Trayvon was lurking behind?

Zimmerman's story is all such bullshit. I hope the jury sees that.

[bunnies]

22. Oh those?

Those were very rare migrating bushes imported from Zimmenstan. They tend to relocate suddenly and without notice.

[moondust]

20. Defense description of repeated pounding of head on concrete

would have caused dizziness, concussion. Or worse. Possibly much worse. Intracranial hemorrhaging. The kind of thing that would absolutely call for an emergent CT scan or MRI to detect any serious injury, IMO.

[polly7]

21. Yes. nt.

[bunnies]

26. Absolutely.

No one in their right mind would refuse medical treatment if that actually happened. On the other hand, they just might refuse medical treatment if they were concerned that the examination would rule out their account of what happened. Hmmmm.

[kalisto2010]

24. No

Why would anyone waste their time trying to grab the head of a bald man? If you're trying to kill someone, it's way more efficient to just throw multiple punches which would do way more damage.

[bunnies]

30. actually...

it probably would have been easiest just to choke him out. Especially since he was such a weakling, as the defense claims.

[Aerows]

28. Zimmerman

has a big head and Trayvon was extremely long limbed.

Edit: Better put in the tag lest someone think I'm being serious (as ludicrous as that might be).

[bunnies]

29. Seems to me the defense made a hell of a mistake

not bringing Trayvons 7' arms up at trial. For the money they're getting you'd think they'd include this very important detail!
