The prosecution just mentioned something about Zimmerman's head wounds and the blood

so I looked at a picture and realized that if, in fact he was hurt by being bashed on the concrete the blood would have pooled around the injuries and only after he got up would the blood run down because of gravity. But there is no pooling and in this picture the cut on the left side of the back of his head shows the blood going kind of toward his ear. That is consistent with him leaning over someone.

He got these injuries while he was standing up. Also there is very little bruising. If your head is bashed against concrete you are going to have big bruises and swelling. There is no swelling either.

I think he smacked his nose on a limb and scratched this head on some of the smaller branches.

If you look at his re-enactment video there is small tree not far from where he is standing when he talks about TM coming from out o nowhere. I think it could very well be that tree.

until you just said it.

I'm watching the prosecution closing arguments. This guy is really blowing holes all through Zimmerman's testimony.

Anyone here the prosecutor talk about how Zimmerman said Martin had both of his hands over Zimmerman's nose and mouth and then "WITH HIS THIRD HAND HE REACHED FOR THE GUN!!!"

Touche' Mr. Prosecutor!
