is there any chance that trayvon martin is the duke rape case part 2.

Forensics should provide an answer.  If this was a struggle, there would be very close contact powder burns.

He's been dead for a month and they still haven't determined this? Does forensics usually take this long or am I missing some other horrid aspect of the way this case has been handled?

The police would not necessarily release this information to prevent "witnesses" contriving their testimony to fit the evidence.

It also suggests that Zimmerman knew that he was going to be in legal hot water, since he had an acquaintance of his take this photo. It's fascinating that these seeming wounds would not require bandages.

The picture was taken before the police arrived, and when Zimmerman was telling the person what his wife should tell 911, Zimmerman said to tell them that he had shot someone.   Obviously, Zimmerman had deliberately cornered Martin where he had alibi witnesses.
