This is exactly what I was thinking. And I'm from Harlem...ditto on anything being used as a weapon and screaming for help is always paired with it. However, it just makes the story harder to take. Makes you wish one of the neighbors upon hearing the screaming stuck their head out and just said..."Hey!" really loud, and that might have been enough to deter Zimmerman's action and give the boy enough time to run home.

VERY VERY Good question, since there's no indications that Martin was in a fight ...even unbrused uponit7771 Apr 2012 #1

It's going to be a very interesting trial. RDANGELO Apr 2012 #5

I thought so too but the funeral director said he was Solomon Apr 2012 #17
He also said he couldn't determine entry/exit wound Cali_Democrat Apr 2012 #18
Usually this is true . . . mistertrickster Apr 2012 #20
Is someone DOING an autopsy this time? nt mistertrickster Apr 2012 #21
Key evidence we don't have is from the gun wound. mistertrickster Apr 2012 #19
Here's a graphic interaction showing where Martin was shot. mistertrickster Apr 2012 #22
