FTFY

Sadly, there are a significant number of people who would agree with TM™'s hypothetical explanation.

Why is O'Mara not asking about the goose-eggs/swelling on the back/side of the head?

2:31 p.m.
Livingston says she and another firefighter treated Zimmerman.

O’Mara shows the picture of Zimmerman’s bloody nose. He asks her to describe his injuries.

She says the bridge of his nose was very swollen. She says a red spot on his nose appears to be a laceration.

O’Mara asks if it could be from a fist strike to the nose. She says it could.

O’Mara asks about marks on the left side of his forehead. She says it looks like an abrasion.

He asks about the tip of his nose. She says it is blood.

O’Mara asks her what happens when the nose starts bleeding. She says blood vessels initiate bleeding.

O’Mara asks about what happens to blood that escapes while on the back. She says it would probably be swallowed.

2:26 p.m.
Guy finishes questions and O'Mara begins cross-examination.

2:24 p.m.
Guy shows photos of Martin’s body. Livingston confirms the gunshot wound.

Livingston points out Zimmerman as he stands.

Zimmerman was sitting in a police car when she made contact with him.

She talked to him and she says he didn’t appear to be having difficulty responding to her.

Judge Nelson instructs the jury to disregard the question about Zimmerman having memory problems after an objection from O’Mara.

She explains a test for patient response. The highest score for an alert person is a 15, which was Zimmerman’s score. It indicates eye response, motor response and obeying commands.

She says he had a swollen nose and lacerations on the back of his head. She says she doesn’t believe he was actively bleeding, but it was still moist.

She says they tried to clean him up. She remembers two lacerations about an inch long. She says they had been bleeding.

She says Zimmerman stood up and she doesn’t believe he had balance trouble. She thinks she spent about 5 minutes tending to him.

He was not transported. “It was determined if he needed further medical treatment the Sanford Police department would take him,” she says.

Guy shows the pictures of Zimmerman's bloody nose and back of the head.

2:20 p.m.
Guy has her go over the report for the arrival time of paramedics.

She says she checked Martin for a pulse on his neck. She did not find a pulse. She says she moved Martin’s shirt and noticed something in it.

She didn’t know what it was at the time, but took it out and moved it to her right side. She says it felt like a can.

She says she also felt a small bag that made a crinkling noise.

Livingston says the gunshot wound was in Martin’s chest. She put on a cardiac monitor. She says the lead paramedic on the scene determined the rhythm was “incompatible to life.”

The time he was pronounced dead was 7:30 p.m.

She did not hear him make any sounds. He was not transported from the scene because it is not part of their job. The medical examiner’s office would.

They're actually going to call Tim Smith? Are they just giving the defense res gestae softballs now?

I hope the defense asks Officer Smith how old he is; the histrionic witness would certainly assure us all he's a "boy".

Is this the officer who overheard George say he was yelling for help? I think the previous EMT witness might have been the one who said she didn't hear him say it. MOM did a good job of getting her to say she was not paying attention to much, even when George was getting out of the car.

Correct term for those with male pattern baldness who shave the sides is Onion Head

State's Exhibit 5 clearly shows that Martin's upper arms are extended (i.e. at the shoulder) away from the body, about 40-45 degrees.

Ofc. Tim Smith: one round in the chamber. Couldn't see gun or holster when he approached Zimmerman.
