15 seconds after the fatal shot. >> in the face of contact of the clothing indicates this is consistent with mr. zimmerman's account that he, that mr. martin was over him, leaning forward at the time of being shot. >> reporter: at times using a photo of a bloody george zimmerman, he said the wounds were consistent with being shot. george zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder. >> is this injury consistent with mr. zimmerman's head having impacted a sidewalk? >> yes. >> reporter: the state's cross-examination was quick but thorough. the prosecutor stressing that the doctor relied primarily only on physical evidence of the gunshot wound and zimmerman's account of what happened to form his opinions. >> i'm saying that the physical evidence is consistent with mr.

martin being over mr. zimmerman. >> is it not also consistent with mr. martin pulling away from zimmerman on the ground and you would have the same angle, he's pulling away, and zimmerman shooting him at that time. >> yeah. >> reporter: the jury will ultimately have to decide which version the evidence supports. now, yesterday as we talked about, the judge ruled the defense could introduce evidence that trace amounts of thc the active ingredient in marijuana were found in trayvon martin's system at the time of his death. that was not part of the doctor's testimony today. could it be a part of testimony though before the end of this trial. live outside the courthouse, i'm jay gray. back to you. jay, thank you. zimmerman has sudden nbc universal. the parent company of this station for defamation. the company has strongly denied the allegations. meanwhile neighbors today tell us they are on edge after a
