walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[Midwest Spy]

Did they claim T tried to smother Z with his hand after Z's nose injury was caused? Because if that was the case T's smothering hand would have been covered with blood and the only blood on Ts hand was a small smudge.

Good catch! That's exactly what they're saying; that Z was using both hands and covering T's nose and mouth.

O'Mara said if Z was lying on his back, the blood from his nose actually wouldn't come out but would flow back down his throat.

Therefore he very nicely discredited the fact that T didn't have any blood on his hands.
