The medical expert for the defence, Dr. Vincent Di Maio testitified you could have trauma without visible wounds, and Zimmerman's wounds were the result of at least 6 blows. Additionally, you had an actual witness saying Martin was on top hitting Zimmerman repeatedly "ground and pound" style. There were also many witnesses who testified that Zimmerman was screaming for help.

You've also obviously never been punched in the face hard enough to have your nose broken. Regardless of how life threatening it actually is, it doesn't feel insignificant.
A little more insignificant than a bullet through the heart.

I still find it hArd to believe he was able to pull a gun from his holster or whatever and get it to angle to shoot someone through the heart, after such a severe grounding and pounding. I mean he should have been concussed after that beat down and how exactly do you get a gun in position to shoot straight when someone is on your chest?
