Move over, Rachel Jeantel. There’s a new star witness in town!
Dr. Shiping Bao is the medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Trayvon Martin. And during his stint in the witness chair today, he graciously offered up this delightfully profound little gem:
Med Examiner, won't say how tall Trayvon Martin was: "Dead men cannot stand." His "length," however: 71 inches. (5'11")
