absolutely NO BLOOD on his shirt. If he was beaten and shot Trayvon while he was on top of him, he would have have blood on his body somewhere. There is no sign of MUD OR GRASS STAINS on his clothing even though he supposedly rolled, wrestled and fought for his life. I've had enough bloody noses to know that it's a mess affair and blood drips everywhere.

There would be Trayvon's blood spatter all over him. That and gun powder everywhere. His hands, his clothes, and his skin.

A still of Zimmerman from the video in Matt Gutman's report for ABC News. It would make for an interesting contrast...

Media has the guy at 250 pounds. He don't look 250.

The dude isn't pudgy of fat--- and looks to be in great shape.

4. On the today show this morning, GZ's own lawyer couldn't say whether he suffered a broken nose.

He skirted around the question by claiming he didn't have access to evidence because no charges have been filed yet. Is he not capable of asking his own client?

I know nose injuries first-hand. Your clothes would be awash in spattered blood.

Zimmerman is full of SHITE.

11. I've broken my nose, too.

Up until recently, I was a bike racer. Crashes are part of the sport, and in one memorable peloton pile-up, I broke my nose. Bled like a stuck pig and swelled up even larger than its usual, um..."prominent" size. Zimmerman not only doesn't seem to have any swelling or signs of bleeding, it's now come out (via the funeral director) that Martin had no signs of being in a fight on his hands. No cuts or bruises...

Zimmerman's story is unraveling like a cheap sweater.
