Showing Original Post only (View all)Doctor: George Zimmerman had black eyes, painful broken nose but no head trauma [View all]

The day after he killed Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman went to the doctor with a broken nose, black eyes and two cuts on his head, but the physician determined he didnt suffer any head trauma, newly released medical records show.
The medical records document several injuries, but also state that the only reason Zimmerman sought medical attention was because he needed a doctors note to return to work, Duval County Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda said in court last week.

Zimmerman's story just doesn't seem to add up, it appears to be unraveling as more evidence is released.
According to his own family doctor, he didn't really have any head trauma, this just doesn't seem to be consistent with his story about having his head smashed into concrete to the point where he began to fear for his life and felt like he had no alternative but to kill his attacker.

Yes, and it depends on who was the attacker. Following someone is not attacking them.

It's possible, but that would have simply been another example of improperly asserting the right.

Zimmerman is going to have a huge credibility problem though if he testifies

it doesn't appear that deadly force was the only way Zimmerman could have stopped Martin

If you know Zimmerman tried to detain Martin, you really should give a deposition to the prosecution

Again, if a strange man came up to me with a gun I would "stand my ground" and fight for my life

At what point do you believe that Trayvon became aware of the presence of the gun?

All I know for sure is that he initiated and pursued an encounter that resulted in a fatal shooting

Agreed. Why is it not clear that Trayvon had just as much right to "stand his ground".

I don't find it unbelievable, no. As a former policeman, I witnessed similar things.

No, to DU. You're sounding like you watch Faux News. Again, tread lightly.
