The Zimmerman-Martin Case (attorney, accuse, death, racist)

How about the gun powder residue on the dead kid? Muzzle burn, something? If Trayvon is on top of Zimmerman shouldn't his shirt or chest be burnt? A Kel-tec PF-9 has a pretty good sized muzzle flash. Any evidence to the contrary or even showing they looked for it?

Shooting the Kel-Tec PF9 - YouTube

Those are all very valid questions.

There needn't be dramatic spatter for blood to get on someone who presumably was underneath someone who got shot in the chest.

If you're suggesting that Zimmerman managed to get up and away from Martin after getting his head bashed on the sidewalk, I'll concede he might escape blood getting on him. But that sure changes the nature of the struggle and account of firing the gun in the heat of the moment with Martin pounding him and trying to snatch the gun, doesn't it?

Very valid questions. One can hope that there's an investigation ongoing that will determine all of it.

You should work at a carnival then if you can guess someone's weight just from a picture.

I don't know if this story would have been reported if the victim had been white. If the circumstances were the same, I would hope it would.

But, that's not what happened, so there's no need to debate a non-event.

I agree that the media picks and chooses what it reports.

-White on black crime
-Kidnapped white babies/women
-Black on black crime

The news is after ratings. Whatever has worked in the past, will be what they report in the future.

Nah. Lohan looks like she was run hard and put away wet. I'd much rather see the likes of Leah Remini from King of Queens. That would be nice.

After watching the video I see that Zimmerman had on a white/gray T-shirt. Per the 911 call as you mentioned the lady stated that the one with the white T-shirt was on top.

A copied comment from the ABC article:

If you look closely, you can see a tiny paper cut on Zimmerman. That is proof that he feared for his life.

There is nothing white about Zimmerman's shirt. That you refer to it as "white/gray" to make your point is farcical.
