The court will rule this a good shoot.

So we now have as close to proof as we possibly can in a case like this that Zimmerman's story is 100% accurate. Tray didn't have a scratch on him other than his knuckles, while Zimmerman was beat to hell.

We also now know the gun was shot at "intermediate range," which in forensics means close enough to leave powder residue. So that completely supports Zimmerman.

Now, on what planet is Trayvon the innocent party here?

What I see is a 17 year old walking to his residence and minding his own business.

I see a over zealous vigilante, who carries a loaded weapon and rushes to judgement, pursue the 17 year old first my vehicle, then by foot.

The 17 year old ends up dead.

If Zimmerman had used common sense, he would not have scared the living daylights out of a juvenile who feared for his life.

The planet where Trayvon was minding his own business coming home from the store when a cop-wannabe started stalking him.

Pursue? How do you pursue someone when you are turning around to your vehicle?

It's so cute that you buy that story.

He didn't stalk him. Get a dictionary.

The story is "evolving", meaning there's more bs and spin being injected into it by the Trayvoniacks.

If he is walking into his house, we should assume that he is a burglar or doing a home invasion robbery

If he is shopping for groceries, we should assume that he is either shoplifting or getting ready to rob the store.

So, EdwardA in all of his Blackness is just a walking target, huh. Fascinating. And he was kind enough to warn us that his black skin means that he has a tendency toward violence. Its nature not nurture. Fascinating.
His willingness to absorb the negative image of his less-civilized brethren is truly admirable. Far be it from me though to try to replicate his effort, lest I risk usurping his hallowed status as the most magnanimous and selfless black man in America. Almost like a black Jesus when you think about it; dedicating his life as payment for the sins of every other black man just so I wouldn't have to. I am touched.

They were the good kids.
Trayvon had no police record. Zimmerman does. There is no evidence, that I know of, that the police questioned Trayvon about the jewelry. None of these are "capital" offenses.

Thanks Edward for warning us that you are a dangerous Black man.
Oh, no! Edward is "different"! Edward is from Africa!
