Ok I am still in shock ABC is doing their job here but I’ll never let them off the hook that they are an arm of the OSM. It would have been nice if all the OSM had kept their mouths shut when this all started. Instead they had a feeding frenzy with no facts. Facts that are now slowly coming to light that this was no execution, hunting of a kid down or cold-blooded murder but an act of self-defense. Media malpractice at it’s finest that will result in riots, destruction of private property and potentially the loss of more life. When any of that happens the destruction and blood will be on the OSM’s hands!
Now that that’s out-of-the-way more info is coming out on Martin’s autopsy and it clearly doesn’t look good for the false picture painted of this innocent young boy who was hunted down and murdered. No instead we learned the only wounds he had were cut up knuckles more than likely as a result of pummeling Zimmerman. The new report also indicates Trayvon also had traces of THC in his blood & urine from the marijuana use.
Most important revaluation from the autopsy report is the bullet wound would have come from a distance of 1 to 18 inches apart between Zimmerman and Martin.
This matters if you are familiar with defensive shooting. When individuals receive concealed weapons training they are taught multiple ways to draw their weapon. One method in particular is designed for a close “combat” situation. This video is a great demonstration as to how it is performed.
One could safely assume this is exactly what happened when Zimmerman feared enough for his life to draw his holstered weapon and fire.
It’s totally plausible that if Zimmerman had proper training he executed this type of draw while on his back having his head bashed into the ground. Think about it for a second for one to be straddling another the distance between the two would be about 1 to 18 inches apart!!!!

Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer, had the drug THC in his system the night of this death, according to new information obtained by ABC News.
The revelation came as prosecutors in the case prepared to release to the public hundreds of pages of new evidence along with videos and crime scene photos.
Martin’s death sparked public outrage after police released Martin’s shooter, George Zimmerman, without any criminal charges for the killing.
Zimmerman, 28, is a multi-racial Hispanic man who shot the black high school junior at close range on Feb. 26, and claimed self-defense, though Martin was unarmed. Zimmerman was later charged with second-degree murder, and the killing provoked widespread debate about racial profiling.
The autopsy report shows traces of the drug THC, which is found in marijuana, in Martin’s blood and urine.
The autopsy also shows that Zimmerman shot Martin from a distance of between 1 inch and 18 inches away, bolstering Zimmerman’s claim that he shot Martin during a struggle that landed Zimmerman on his back, Martin straddling him and banging Zimmerman’s head on the ground.
Martin’s autopsy report also revealed that there was a quarter-inch by half-inch abrasion on the left fourth finger of Martin, another indication of a possible struggle. The teen, who lived in Miami, was in Sanford while serving a suspension for a bag of marijuana being discovered in his possession.
Later today, a trove of documents that are part of the discovery in Zimmerman’s trial are expected to be released on a website run by the state’s attorney, including 67 CDs worth of documents, video of Martin on the night of the shooting, his autopsy report and videos of Zimmerman’s questioning by police.
