"Trayvon Martin, I believe, was still alive, his heart was still beating. Every time his heart was beating some of the blood would go from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery to the lungs and supplied his brain," Bao said. "I believe, it is my opinion, that he was still alive, he was still in pain, he was still in suffering."
Defense attorneys immediately objected to the relevance of Bao's statement.
