I never said anything about proving a particular scenario.
I said the forensics showed where the two combatant were in relation to one another. In a position that is consistent with Martin being on top. The wounds on the back of Zimmerman's head clearly show his head was being beaten into the concrete.
This is what the material facts show and it convinced the jury and that is all there is to it.

Charai,
It would be nice for your argument if reasonable doubt could be applied from the prosecutors perspective.
Then your theory of the billowing cloth might go somewhere, but since this isn't how our system works we have to go with the most likely scenario shown by the material facts.
This is why there was an acquittal instead of the conviction you wanted.
