Dr. Shiping Bao told the court that Martin, 17, was shot in the heart and said, "There was no chance he could survive."

The medical examiner said that Martin would have lived anywhere from one minute to 10 minutes after being shot as his beating heart ran out of blood to pump.

Zimmerman, who is being tried on charges of second-degree murder, has maintained that he shot Martin in self-defense after he was knocked down and beaten by Martin and the teenager went for Zimmerman's gun.

quicklist: 3Title: Fourth of July Accidents Mar Celebrations Text: As people across the country celebrated the Fourth of July, there were a few celebrations that took tragic turns.

In Simi Valley, Calif., a fireworks mishap left at least 28 people injured after an "unintended" detonation shot fireworks into a crowd during a Fourth of July display.

Across the country in Bangor, Maine, the day's events got off to a chaotic start when a police standoff forced the parade to take an alternate route. Then, during the parade, an antique fire truck apparently lost control and crashed into a tractor, authorities told ABC News' Bangor affiliate WVII-TV. The tractor driver fell off, was run over and died.

In Edmond, Okla., an 8-year-old boy was killed when his father accidentally ran him over during a parade, authorities said, according to ABC News' Oklahoma City affiliate KOCO-TV. The boy had been on a trailer that was carrying a float when he either jumped or fell off, KOCO reported.

The 36-year-old German-born actress told the latest U.K. edition of Marie Claire magazine that she had the moment of reckoning at age 30.

"Honestly, for a long time I felt that I was so accomplished. 'Oh, I speak three languages, I travel the world, I've seen so many things,'" Kruger said. "But when I turned 30, I realized I was an idiot. I didn't know s**t about anything."

The "Troy" and "Inglourious Basterds" actress also talked about her appreciation of Americans' openness to therapy and how she's sure she "punished many boys for my lack of a father figure."

Kruger has been with longtime boyfriend Pacey Witter, ah, Joshua Jackson ... and rumors are always swirling about their getting engaged.
