Under questioning by Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda, Good said one of the combatants was straddling a man lying face up on the pavement, and throwing punches. The testimony appeared to corroborate Zimmerman’s claims that he shot the 17-year-old African-American with a legally registered gun in self defense, as he was being pummeled.
“I could tell that the person on the bottom had a lighter skin color,” testified Good, who also said the person on the bottom appeared to be wearing “white or red,” while the one on top wore dark clothing. Zimmerman identified that day as Hispanic and was wearing a red jacket. That also would corroborate Zimmerman’s claims he was on the losing end of a violent confrontation when he fired the fatal shot.
During cross examination, defense attorney Mark O’Mara asked Good to be more specific as to the exact positions of the two men on the ground and even demonstrated in the courtroom asking for visual confirmation. He also asked what Good meant on the 911 call when he said the person on top was engaged in a MMA-style move of “ground and pound”. The witness also said during testimony that the person on the bottom was unable to move under a flurry of punches

When the police played the recording of the screams to Trayvon Martin’s father (from the tape of one of the neighbors’ 911 calls), Mr. Martin told them that it wasn’t his son’s voice.
That was before he was coached, and it wasn’t surprising. Trayvon Martin was considerably taller, younger, more muscular, and more athletic than George Zimmerman. There’s no way Zimmerman could have bested Martin in a fight.
Martin bloodied Zimmerman’s head, and broke his nose. Zimmerman yelled for help over and over, but no help came. The only surprising thing seemed to be that Zimmerman waited so long before drawing his weapon and shooting his assailant. If Zimmerman “was unable to move under a flurry of punches” that might explain it.
Prosecutors would have you believe that Zimmerman attacked Martin. But even if Zimmerman thought he was a match for Martin, recall that he had just called the cops a few minutes earlier! He knew they were on the way. What person would commit a felony when he knew the cops were about to arrive? It’s not even plausible.
The circumstances are perfectly clear: Zimmerman was on his way to the apartment mailboxes, where the cops had asked him to meet them, when Martin jumped him. He shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense.
Here’s the transcript of Zimmerman’s conversation with the police:

For a few minutes beginning at 11 AM I thought Bernie’s head was gonna explode, he isn’t having a good day!
The MSM made a huge mistake in trying to paint this as a racial issue. Now, in the minds of many, if it’s not racial, then it must be legitimate self-defense. Bullshit!
Old saying: An armed society is a polite society. Zimmerman doesn’t understand that. He went out armed and looking for trouble. Surprise, surprise! That’s exactly what he found.
First degree murder? I don’t think so. The prosecution would have a very difficult time trying to prove that Zimmerman went out with the specific intent of killing Martin.
Since crybaby George is legally an adult now, he’s responsible for his actions. Although II’m not a lawyer, the whole thing smells like 2nd degree murder, or at least manslaughter.
Bull shit. He was clearly attacked. He was clearly defending himself under fear of severe physical harm and possible death. if he did not have a gun he could well be dead now. He had called the police to come check out a man acting suspicious. He lived in a neighborhood of many recent crimes. The evidence clearly indicates the Martin physically attacked him.
Once again, Larry shows why he’s fallen for Algore’s Great Glow Bull Worming Scam— a complete and utter lack of cognitive ability. I’ll wager that you also believe Obama’s National Socialist HellCare will actually make the cost of healthcare go down, right?
This trial is taking on the characteristics of a classic “kangaroo court.”
At the least is the refusal of the judge to allow Zimmerman’s parents to be present but Martin’s parents could be. Then, the judge refuses a defense request to have an expert identify the screams coming from Zimmerman’s cell phone communication [to 911?] as those of Zimmerman.
Then, there is this article today in the Washington Times, “Media misreporting rampant in Trayvon Martin case ( http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/26/harper-media-misreporting-rampant-in-trayvon-marti/ )”, with the following quote [I’ve capitalized the key point to me: “The media described Trayvon as a good student. Subsequent information, however, showed he often got into fights, used marijuana and was suspended from school before he was shot — MATERIAL THE JUDGE HAS RESTRICTED THE DEFENSE FROM USING. Further evidence indicated the teen had marijuana in his system AT THE TIME he was shot. Moreover, Trayvon’s purchases of watermelon-flavored fruit juice — not iced tea as reportedly frequently — and Skittles may not have been so innocent. These are two of three ingredients of Purple Drank, a concoction that also includes cough syrup he used to get high, according to his text messages.” Swell.
Fair trial? Why doesn’t the judge simply declare Zimmerman guilty so everyone can go home!
The good news—it sounds as though Zimmerman’s lawyer is sharp and on the ball. Whether Zimmerman is guilty or not, he—as everyone else—deserves a fair trial.
The only reason for this trial is widespread Black racism and the Left’s pandering to it, since the 1960’s. And of course, the election of the first Black President, which has exacerbated, not soothed, those who feel themselves still the “victims of White society”.

For the record, I despise Big Al. Nothing that I’ve said here, or on any other board, could possibly lead a person with more than half a brain to that conclusion about my opinion. Apparently BC gets his jollies by putting words into the mouths of those with whom he disagrees. Bloody troll!
