SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. —
WFTV just learned Friday morning about a picture of gunman George Zimmerman, taken just three minutes after the shooting that left 17-year-old Trayvon Martin dead.
The picture reportedly shows cuts on the back of Zimmerman's head, with blood trickling down.
Zimmerman, who shot and killed 17-year-old Martin on February 26 in a gated Sanford community, claimed he killed Martin in self-defense. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of Martin.
The picture would seem to back up Zimmerman's claim that Martin slammed his head against the sidewalk.
That picture could be part of the evidence shown to the judge in court Friday morning during Zimmerman's bond hearing.
ABC News is breaking more on this story on Good Morning America at 7 a.m. on Channel 9. We'll have more on Central Florida's TV 27 at 7 a.m.
Meanwhile, Trayvon Martin's parents will come face to face for the first time with Zimmerman on Friday.
Zimmerman is due in a Seminole County courtroom for a bond hearing at 9 a.m.
After a week and a half behind bars, Zimmerman may be walking out of jail to await trial on a second-degree murder charge.
The parents of 17-year-old Martin are expected in the courtroom during the bond hearing.
Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara will likely argue to Judge Kenneth Lester that Zimmerman is not a flight risk, pointing to fact that Zimmerman turned himself in immediately when charges were filed.
Judge Lester must decide if Zimmerman will be offered bond.

Has this been posted as a thread?
Bloody hell. He didn’t do that to himself.
Looks like this man was fighting for his life.
This case is all about trying to reverse the trend of the Castle doctrine being adopted by several states and using the race card to get there.
He'd be well advised to sleep with one eye open and a sharp pencil, etc in his fist tonight.
And if the poor guy lives thru the night, then there's tomorrow and the negro Klan outside.
It'd be good to see an impromptu swarm of armed local patriots show up to offer their escort services to Z and O'Mara.
There is no grand jury involved, it was a bond hearing not the actual trial
This is shaping up to be another Tawana Brawley case. The minute I saw Al Sharpton in Sanford, I knew that George Zimmerman was innocent.
Juan Williams is not a journalist. He never checks his facts. I don’t know why FOX has him on their payroll. The man is a moron.
did they ever find the tea and Skittles?
Good question. I have wanted to know about the tea & skittles, and you just know 7-11 has video of him in the store. Where’s the 7-11 video?
“Personally, I think he’s got a damn good case on all accounts.”
do you think Gloria Allred will be representing Zimmerman with these suits?
I have heard there was a video but that its indistinct
When’ll we see photos of his broken nose?
Beyatch stole the baby, gunned down the momma! You didn’t hear?
It now appears that Trayvon was bigger than Zimmerman but even if it were true that Zimmerman outweighed Martin by one hundred pounds that in itself means nothing. If the hundred pound “advantage” is only fat then it is a DISadvantage plus there are other possibilities, those who simply assume that the bigger person automatically has the advantage are playing the fool. I speak from the viewpoint of a male who is six feet and four inches tall and weighed 252 pounds on my bathroom scale as of two hours ago. I am NOT fat, I am muscular and very strong for a man who is about to turn 68. Do I want to take on a furious 17 year old football player who is six foot two, of any weight and physically fit? Not on your life.
According to these idiots if a seal team sniper is aiming at the bridge of your nose your life is not in danger up until the instant when the bullet tip strikes between your eyes.
