The medical examiner who conducted the autopsy on Trayvon Martin's body testified today
that the Florida teenager lived from one to 10 painful minutes after he
was shot in the heart by George Zimmerman, and that the wound was
impossible to survive.
Dr. Shiping Bao told the court that Martin, 17, was shot in the heart and said, "There was no chance he could survive."
The medical examiner said that Martin would have lived anywhere from one
minute to 10 minutes after being shot as his beating heart ran out of
blood to pump.
Zimmerman, who is being tried on charges of second-degree murder, has
maintained that he shot Martin in self-defense after he was knocked down
and beaten by Martin and the teenager went for Zimmerman's gun.
