Family of Florida boy killed by Neighborhood Watch seeks arrest

[Prince Glittersnatch III]

This case is twister than a bag of snakes.

Florida teenager Trayvon Martin died from a single gunshot wound to the chest fired from "intermediate range," according to an autopsy report reviewed Wednesday by NBC News.

The official report, prepared by the medical examiner in Volusia County, Fla., also found that the 17-year-old Martin had one other fresh injury – a small abrasion, no more than a quarter-inch  in size –  on his left ring finger below the knuckle.

Separately, a medical report on Martin's alleged killer, 28-year-old George Zimmerman, prepared by his personal physician the day after Martin's shooting in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, found that the Neighborhood Watch volunteer suffered a likely broken nose, swelling, two black eyes and cuts to the scalp. That report, first reported Tuesday by ABC News, also was reviewed by NBC News.

The tales of Martin's hands being all busted up appear to have been gross exaggeration.

My local news so far has reported on the fact that Zimmerman had injuries and has ignored the report about the distance of the shot.

The CNN article links a PDF in which the filenames of the recorded 911 calls are mentioned, googling those turns up one of them, which is apparently Zimmerman's initial call to 911: http://soundcloud.com/geedee215/20120571656-s13pir
I couldn't find the other one, this one's before any shooting occurs, but includes Zimmerman complaining about how these fuckers always get away, and the 911 guy telling him he shouldn't follow him.

I don't understand...Witnesses 12 & 13 seem to favor the prosecution where Witness 6 seems to favor the defense and Witness 2 is simply wanking.

Where does this lead?  A hung jury?

Martin was on top of Zimmerman and throwing down punches mixed martial arts style.

Maybe I'm just derping, but I literally have no clue what this means.  Does MMA have a special "get on top of someone and punch them" technique and style?  How does this differ from the normal way of getting on top of someone and punching the shit out of them?

It implies that its more vicious and intended for harm than normal?

In MMA getting on top of someone and beating the shit out of them is a common occurrence, he was probably just referencing MMA because thats the only place he had seen it before.

Down here we get a lot of broadcasts of the Free Style Fighting League or however its called (basically a tournament with people from all over the world that get put in a cage 2 at a time, and can use any fighting style, martial arts or grappling techniques), and i guess in USA its the same? Maybe from there comes the vague knowledge of it? Eh

[Freeky]

When someone says MMA, USA people think of UFC, which probably explains what he meant.

[The Johnny]

Yes, exactly, that thing, didnt remember what it was called.

What was Trayvon planning to do with that beverage and those skittles?

Why, make drugs, of course, duh. What else?

Also, any right thinking person can clearly tell by the 7-11 security cam footage that Trayvon is three fucking sheets to the wind!

While I'm still holding my neutral position, and believe it's plausible that Martin overreacted to an overzealous Zimmerman, and initiated violence, the shitnuts going around calling Martin "thug", "goon", "etc." are really starting to grate my cheese.

Call me silly, but if I were walking home, minding my own business, and some guy started following me in his car, then got out and tried to stop me from getting home, I might overreact, myself.  If he started waving a gun around or thinking he had any right to keep me from walking away, I would bloody damn well overreact.

[Bruno]

If they can prove that the gun came out before he says it did, then he's fucked, and rightfully so.

How do you overreact to being stalked by someone with a gun?
