If the shot to Trayvon's chest was direct from front to back, I think it means that both GZ and TM were standing when the shot was fired.
I truly believe GZ was enraged about the physical altercation and had TM at gunpoint after the fight stopped. And while standing directly in front him, put the gun to TM's chest and shot him while he was screaming for help.
I don't see how he could have shot him with the trajectory described while they were fighting on the ground. That kill shot landed too straight and too perfectly, imo.
I'm still curious to find out if someone can/will testify that TM was killed instantly so that this nonsense of what he apparently said after he was shot can be proven as false. I just don't believe it.
How so? GZ was shorter than TM by at least 3 inches. Your heart is about level with your arm if you extend in the firing position (lowest portion of your heart is about level with your nipples). Given that GZ was a few inches shorter than TM (at least 3in assuming that the ME is correct about TM being 71inches tall, even though in the 7-11 video, he appears much taller than the clerk), if TM and GZ were standing up at the time (which contradicts witness statements), I believe the round would have to have had a vertical trajectory in order to hit the right ventricle of TM given the disparity in height. With his arms extended straight out (only way to get flat trajectory if standing level to a target), I believe George's round would have to have had a noticeable positive slope to gain 3 vertical inches in the distance between the firearm and impact (which was max 18 inches according to the ME report, but perhaps much closer given the stippling and contact burns the ballistics Team noted.) Point being, that I think unless GZ was standing on something elevating him 3 inches (even at very close proximity), the only other explanation for a flat trajectory was if someone was supine and fired up, or TM was supine and GZ fired down.
That said, given TM was found face down, I think it was unlikely he could roll over with no blood pressure.
