## Transcript

Yeah, he said that he was on his back, and Trayvon Martin straddled him and began punching him in the face. Once he started screaming, Trayvon, George said Trayvon grabbed his head and started bashing his head on the concrete. For a brief moment, I had control of the wrist, but I knew when he felt the sidearm at my wrist with his leg. That's when he, right. That's when he left go of the other the other hand let go, and he said that he went for the gun. Okay. Grabbed for it. Did he say that Travon Martin went for the gun, correct? Grabbed for the gun. Okay. And he used the MF term again. I'm sorry, I don't like to curse in front of ladies.

And for the record he used the word, you're gonna die now [ SOUND ], correct? That is correct. You were asked specifically about exaggeration. Did you feel he had exaggerated the manner in which he was hit? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Officer, if I can, he's, and, and I'm hitting you, correct? Mm- hm. That's what the defendant is claiming, that I'm suffocating you, and I'm not gonna put my hand in your mouth. That's fine. Would you have your hands like that? Just like this? Or would you be fighting me? I'd be fighting you. I'd be fight, fighting you. Make sure you got that. Did you find any blood raising on the defendants hands?

No, sir. Dr. Rao, using your definition of slamming, your common understanding of slamming, are the injuries to the back of the defendant's head consistent with having been repeatedly slammed into a concrete surface? No. Why not? Because, if you look at the injuries, they're so minor, that to me the word slam implies great force, and this, the resultant injuries are not great force.
