2:48 p.m.
West asks about De la Rionda’s question of Martin putting his hand over Zimmerman’s nose as seen in the enlarged photo.

Dr. Di Maio confirms he doesn’t know when Zimmerman’s nose was bleeding.

“Absence doesn’t mean anything, presence does,” Dr. Di Maio says.

Dr. Di Maio says environmental conditions can affect the presence of DNA.

West asks about the hands being washed prior to being photographed.

Dr. Di Maio says a pathologist should always be with the body.

West shows a picture of Martin’s chest taken at the crime scene and another at the time of the autopsy.

De la Rionda objects. Judge Nelson asks them to approach for a sidebar.

2:41 p.m.
West asks about tree branches that could’ve been used as a club.

Dr. Di Maio says there were only tree trunks and the person would have to be upright.

He says he reviewed Folgate’s notes from the next day.

West asks about the black eyes.

Dr. Di Maio says secondary blackening of the eye shows up later.

Dr. Di Maio explains again why he thinks the nose had a displaced fracture and was put back into place.

“He’s obviously been punched in the nose and hit in the forehead,” he says.

West asks if being punched in the nose would hurt.

Dr. Di Maio confirms, he says a person is stunned or in fear and thinks they are all right, but they can later die.

“The police in this case should have taken Mr. Zimmerman to the hospital,” Dr. Di Maio says, adding that is because of the head injuries.

West asks if the circumstances of the trauma can be overwhelming.

De la Rionda objects. Judge Nelson overrules.

Dr. Di Maio says yes.

West asks about the packaging of the evidence and the outer sweatshirt being put in a sealed plastic bag being consistent with good evidence handling.

Dr. Di Maio says no.

He explains again it should be air dried and put in paper.

Every time I see Angela Corey I'm sure she must be feeling the daggers my eyes are sending to her (even all the way from Texas)!

Whether intentional or not, yes, it proves blood somehow not there. If there had been blood on TM™'s hands, which we can't know because they weren't photographed or tested, but if, it could have similarly been removed.

Corey is a perfect example of one's true nature showing on their face. In her case.....A BEAST!

I agree, seeing_eye and CinnamonToast. She is loathsome.

2:58 p.m.
West shows the pictures to Dr. Di Maio and asks if there is a difference.

West asks if it looked like someone cleaned it.

West finishes questioning.

De la Rionda asks if the sweatshirt might’ve absorbed the blood.

Dr. Di Maio says it could.

De la Rionda asks if West testifying is evidence.

Dr. Di Maio confirms.

He agrees there was absence of a concussion and brain bleeding, and proof the body was washed.

Dr. Di Maio says the clothing should remain on the body, but when they got to the ME’s office, they shouldn’t have undressed the body before taking pictures.

“The techniques weren’t exactly correct, let’s put it that way,” he says.

De la Rionda asks if there was evidence that anything was washed away by the rain and an absence of vomiting.

De la Rionda asks about Jon Good’s testimony that he didn’t see or hear blows landing.

Dr. Di Maio says he disregarded the witnesses because he was trying to see if the physical evidence supported or invalidated Zimmerman’s statements.

“The witnesses are all over the place. You can’t use the witnesses to make autopsy decisions,” he says.

De la Rionda finishes questioning.

West re-redirects.

He asks about Jon Good not testifying to hearing Zimmerman’s head hit cement or hearing Martin hit Zimmerman in the head.

Dr. Di Maio is excused.

And approach after he takes the stand so witness can hear discussion.

He looks angry and defensive to me. Anyone else? Or am I mistaking 'focused'?

The defense calls Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte. De la Rionda asks to approach for a brief sidebar.
