ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - A color photograph of George Zimmerman with a bloody, swollen nose taken on the night he shot and killed unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin last February was posted on the Internet on Monday by Zimmerman's legal defense team.
As the photo began to be circulated widely by the news media, lawyers on both sides disagreed about its significance to the second-degree murder case against Zimmerman.
"It's not a game changer," Zimmerman lawyer Mark O'Mara told Reuters. But O'Mara said the photo was significant in that it shows vividly the injuries Zimmerman incurred during his confrontation with Martin at a condominium in the central Florida town on Sanford.

The article reeks with bias, as in this quote:
“Zimmerman, who was a neighborhood watch volunteer, shot and killed 17-year-old Martin who was walking to the home in Sanford where he was staying with his father.”
Funny thing about how there’s no mention of how Martin probably got home, went stalking Zimmerman, and sucker punched Zimmerman as the start of an almost successful attempt to murder Zimmerman.
Yeah, you don’t have to read further than the title of most ‘news’ articles to see where the writer’s coming from.
Not a game changer? Why not? Zimmerman’s nose has quadrupled in size.
Make that “Photo of man brutalized by Travon Martin released”
Like I said the picture of Zimmerman speaks a thousand words.
Never mind the hatched job of an article just look at the pic.
Make that Photo of man brutalized by Obama’s son released
Live like a thug, die like one.
Helped get the murderer-in-chief re-elected, didn’t it?
Yahoo met my expectation of bias. They have been so left wing in terms of what articles they put on their front page, it’s disgusting.
IIRC, they detained him for 6 hours.
At least this photo haz made it to Yahoo. It needs to be on Drudge, ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX.
That looks like it probably hurt.....
George Zimmerman, guilty until proven innocent. The media so badly wants him convicted with these types of headlines.
Sad part is that we have GOP actively aiding the Black Racists in this “lynching” of Zimmerman....Duval State Atty Angela Corey, Atty Gen Pam “Dark Meat” Bondi...and Gov. Rick Scott. At any time they can end this travesty now
Zimmerman is innocent, and this is a case of rightful self-defense
If there is no trial by the end of 2013....you will see Gov Scott and AG Bondi sweating this out....they will not survive a primary with this case not tossed out
“Martin was trying to defend himself (Crump)”?
So Zimmerman was trying to kill Martin by bashing him to death with the back of his head?
Somebody ought to put together a timeline of Crump’s ever-changing versions of the story.
And excuse me but at what point did he ever look like a white guy?
Helped get the murderer-in-chief re-elected, didnt it?
I'm sure massive, systematic, grass roots Democratic [sic] party election fraud played a greater role, but yes, using the feral government to ravage Zimmerman's civil rights did, indeed, help.
