The medical examiner is now saying the reason why Trayvon could not have been on top of Zimmerman is that Trayvon was shot in the back.
The source for this story has now edited the part about Trayvon being shot in the back out of the story and said at this point this can not be verified. Regardless, the story of the ME not being certain that the prosecution made a legitimate effort to convict Zimmerman reflects the disconnect between this case and many cases where every effort to convict is made.
The Federal effort should not be a simple review of the case as presented but a complete re opening of the investigation.
According to the former assistant coroner, the results of Martin’s autopsy clearly showed that, despite Zimmerman’s statements regarding their altercation, there was no feasible way for Martin to have been on top of Zimmerman when the gun was fired, because the bullet entered Martin’s back.
Bao claims that the prosecution never actually asked him the questions that were crucial to the success in the case, and that he changed his opinion from the time he initially examined Martin and the time he was on the stand. Bao and his attorney say they believe he was fired for questioning the way the case was handled, and possibly for not going long with the desired narrative.
Bao testified in court that the amount of marijuana that was found in Martin’s system at the time of his death would have had little to no effect on his ability to reason—even though initially he had stated that the drug could have possible impaired his mental state.
Can the Feds step in yet?
Or will this be another Emmet Till case?
