It looks like The Medical Examiner got a little cheat sheet (possible questions). with him on stand. He tried to hide from the defense but the judge is taking a look at.

Either way that's not a good look for an expert witness.

nah Trayvon is legitimently dead.

that's why I don't understand why the defense is trying to discredit an autopsy. It ain't like the defense attorney is going be like...


" Your honor... I call to the stand... Trayvon martin."

And bust the case wide open.


The only certain fact that both sides can agree on is that Trayvon was fatally shot.

The Defense is not trying to discredit the autopsy results but they are trying to get parts of the expert testimony thrown out.

The Defense is trying to get the autopsy testimony (whether Trayvon suffered in his last minutes or how long did he live until he finally died) thrown out because they probably feel that whether or not Trayvon suffered is irrelevant to the ultimate question of whether or not George Zimmerman was in reasonable fear for his life during his encounter with Trayvon. ( If yes, it would legally excuse Zimmerman's use of deadly force against Trayvon) (No one is disputing whether or not Zimmerman killed Trayvon)

It is also highly prejudical to Zimmerman's defense for a medical expert to guess whether or not Trayvon suffered in pain from his wounds.

(Also Know that Expert Witnesses are paid for their services and testimony by the respective parties and they usually testify in favor of the Party that paid them)


However the prosecution is allowed to present the case as they want as long as it is not prejudicial to the defense. The medical expert saying that Trayvon suffered from pain in his last moments is likely prejudicial and irrelevant.

Having his mother claim that she heard in the 911 tape, her boy suffering in agony in the last minutes of his life may not be prejudicial. It is a prejudicial distinction between a medical expert saying it and a non expert saying it (Trayvon's mother and brother).

The prosecution can ask however how long it took for Trayvon to die and let the jury fill in the blanks and that may be irrelevant but likely not prejudicial.

Anyways it is all up to the Judge's discretion on what testimony would be allowed.
