"Oh gosh, you got me." That's what Trayvon Martin said. After he was already dead.

[pnwmom]

The hell he did.

He actually said, "Gee whiz, you got me! I'm a goner now!"

Though Zimmerman shot Mr Martin through the heart with his 9mm Kel-Tec semi-automatic pistol, killing him almost instantly, Zimmerman also told police that the youth continued to talk after being shot.

"You got me," he quoted Mr Martin as saying, moments after he was shot. "He was still talking and I was on top of him," he added.

1. That sounds exactly like something someone would say if they got caught shoplifting in 1955.

I think he probably said " oh God, you shot me". This guy is full of it.

2. Add "doc" to it and it's a scene from Bugs Bunny

Me thinks Zimmerman watches too much TV.

[BlueStater]

3. It sounds like something a character in a John Wayne movie would say.

It definitely doesn't sound like the words of a real person.

4. Zimmerman also claims Martin sat up after he was shot as well as other

similar statements as you have noted. Martin was shot directly into the heart. What are the odds that anyone would be capable of those actions after a direct shot to the heart?

[malaise]

21. Particularly when they found him face down

Zimmerman is one sick fuck and his family know that

[Jim__]

5. "To be honest with you, I have a bad memory ... A terrible memory," Zimmerman said.

Then I guess the jury shouldn't put too much stock into his memory of the confrontation.

[pnwmom]

12. Then they should discount all his testimony and listen to Rachel's instead.

But I don't believe him that immediately after the killing, he couldn't remember what happened. And that interview to the police was taped, so there's no question what he said then.

[uppityperson]

6. "He was still talking and I was on top of him"? What?

[zbdent]

11. Wasn't it that T.M. was on top of him???

um, oops ...

[madrchsod]

7. ok i had a sudden cardiac arrest

my wife told me i said "i`m having a heart attack..i do`t want to die" then i passed out. thankfully she knew cpr and kept me alive.. my chances of surviving what happened was in the 2 to 20% range.

martins heart stopped instantly. he never said one syllable

[Democracyinkind]

22. Glad to hear that you're ok after going through that.

Thanks for sharing your story! Hope you are well!

8. Contrary to Hollywood movies, a heart shot isn't instantly fatal

You still have enough oxygenated blood pumping to keep you alive and conscious for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute afterwards, so theoretically he could have spoken or sat up before he died.

That said, Zimmerman still sounds like he's full of shit and I don't believe him.

[pnwmom]

13. I can't imagine he had enough energy to actually sit up.

And enough time alive for Trayvon to move from underneath him to on top of him -- and he's still talking. Right.

[NickB79]

20. Like I said, I think Zimmerman's story is shit

For all the reasons you stated. But that doesn't change the fact that there have been cases of people talking and moving after lethal heart shots for some time afterwards.

Hell, I've seen a deer take a bullet through the heart and run 50 yards before collapsing, stone-cold dead. Not perfectly comparable, but the body can do crazy things when amped up on adrenaline.

[denbot]

16. A heart attack HURTS, a bullet blowing through it must really fucking hurt.

I'm sure he chatted up his killer, and theoretically could of composed a haiku to that shitstain's marksmanship.

[Raine]

9. Zim watches to many westerns. nt

[drm604]

14. "I was on top of him"

Who was on top who? Hasn't Zimmerman been claiming that Martin was on top? No he's saying that he (Zimmerman) was on top? Huh?

[pnwmom]

15. I noticed that, too. I think he's admitted before to getting on top of him after he shot him.

I guess that covers him in case there were more witnesses.

[drm604]

17. Why would he get on top after he shot him?

I'm trying to imagine myself in that scenario. I can't imagine getting on top of someone I just shot.

Think about the claimed scenario. Martin is on top pummeling Zimmerman. Zimmerman shoots him, then extricates himself from under Matin, then climbs on top. I'm trying to imagine someone climbing on top of a bloody and dead or dying body.

I'm not saying it absolutely couldn't have happened like that, but It seems unlikely.

[pnwmom]

18. Everything about Zimmerman's story seems unlikely.

And when you put it up against Rachel's -- it looks ridiculous.

[JI7]

19. it's things like this which just make no fucking sense, people are trying to defend zimmerman

and their whole defense seems to be that unless we can prove everything zimmerman said is not true he is innocent.

and because Rachel lied about her age (not under oath but to trayvon's parents) we can't trust her.

[hexola]

23. Most likely he said "You shot me"

seems like there is multiple versions of this utterance?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. But wait! I thought he said Trayvon was on TOP of him?!??!?!

I can't get his lies straight. Really, the lying makes my head spin.
