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.

Anybody that isn’t black is a “white” guy.

““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.””

I suspect that most people on this site that have shot guns don’t wind up with a bloody face doing it. They seem to convienently miss the point that there summary of the events of that evening.

"Trayvon Martin was defending himself. He had every right to stand his ground to defend himself," Crump said.

Wow. Would you look at that. Crump is now a believer in Stand Your Ground.

Maybe GZ can send him an autographed picture of these injuries that Crump has for 8 months been denying that GZ had that night.

Laying on your back with someone straddling you and that sort of injury (with bleeding down the back of the throat and on your mouth likely profuse), the effect would not be unlike being waterboarded.

The feeling you were drowning in your own blood would likely be intense.

Yahoo met my expectation of bias. They have been so left wing...

Understandable once you check the byline and realize that YaHooooo uses rotoReuters...

"And excuse me but at what point did he ever look like a white guy?"

He didn't, until ABC altered his picture, although still looks hispanic to me.

I look a bit like that photo after I eat a jelly donut.

It looks like you left off the ending of your second sentence.
