(308 posts)"George Zimmerman was in a panic. A suspicious man he had been watching had jumped him in the rain. The man was pummeling him, slamming his head repeatedly into the pavement so it felt like my head was going to explode, Mr. Zimmerman told the police in newly released tapes."

Other witnesses suggest Zimmerman was on top. I've been watching too.
And at one point (after the shot), Zimmerman was on top. He said so himself in his sworn statement: "At this point I got out from underneath the suspect and got on top of him holding his hands away from his body." (Page 4.) So when the state's witnesses claimed (paraphrasing) the "person on top was the one that got up" that is potentially the very scenario that Zimmerman described.

Stop guessing.
"WFTV has confirmed that autopsy results show 17-year-old Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died."

And again, there are two marks on the autopsy report which (again I'm guessing) are abbreviations for "Abrasion" and "Scratch". (I wasn't clear what the guess was previously.)
