What if...Zimmerman saw Martin's direction and decided to "cut him off at the pass". What if...Martin was able to disguise his presence in an unlit spot. What if Zimmerman was picking up the pace...not running but not really walking...and Trayvon tripped him, so that he fell face down on the sidewalk and broke his nose in the fall...that would have thrown him into a rage, motivated him to draw his weapon (with one in the chamber?), turn over and shoot Martin. The distance of the gun from the target hasn't been established. I'm not watching this, but I've been thinking about it a lot, since Bob posted the aerial view of the complex. Not saying this is what happened, but it explains the lack of DNA from the defendant on the deceased.
