ABC News Exclusive: Zimmerman Medical Report Shows Broken Nose, Lacerations
abcnews.go.com ^ | 5-15-2012 | Matt Gutman

Posted on 05/15/2012 3:19:49 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

A medical report compiled by the family physician of accused Trayvon Martin murderer George Zimmerman and obtained exclusively by ABC News found that Zimmerman was diagnosed with a "closed fracture" of his nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head and a minor back injury the day after he fatally shot Martin during an alleged altercation.

Zimmerman faces a second degree murder charge for the Feb. 26 shooting that left the unarmed 17-year-old high school junior dead. Zimmerman has claimed self defense in what he described as a life and death struggle that Martin initiated by accosting him, punching him in the face, then repeatedly bashing his head into the pavement.

Also today, a trove of documents are being examined by lawyers for both the defense and prosecution as part of discovery in Zimmerman's trial -- including 67 CDs worth of documents, video of Martin on the night of the shooting, his autopsy report and videos of Zimmerman's questioning by police.

Zimmerman's three-page medical report is included in those documents that the defense could use as evidence.

Watch World News with Diane Sawyer for the latest on the Trayvon Martin shooting and the trial of George Zimmerman.

The morning after the shooting, on Feb. 27, Zimmerman sought treatment at the offices of a general physician at a family practice near Sanford, Fla. The doctor notes Zimmerman sought an appointment to get legal clearance to return to work.

Trayvon Martin was likely a closet gay.....

No..

Wait...

He was going to have a sex change...

No.....

He is a moslem....

Or maybe he was a gang banger wannabe that ran across the wrong guy...

It’s obvious—Zimmerman’s wounds were self-inflicted. /s

They’ll say the doctor was a family friend and is participating in the cover up.

>>Did anyone ever find those skittles and iced tea that Trayvon claims he went to buy?<<

Yes, it was in the affidavit of probable cause. At the bond hearing, it was even stated that he paid for them.

Here is a quote from the bond hearing found here.

DE LA RIONDA: And isn't it a fact to prove that and you have verified that he actually went to that 7-Eleven store and bought some Skittles and a can of tea? Did he not?

GILBREATH: Yes.

DE LA RIONDA: And there's a video of that?

GILBREATH: Correct.

DE LA RIONDA: And he paid for it. He didn't steal or anything. Is that correct?

GILBREATH: Yes.

He also had the concrete walkway that he was trying to beat George Zimmerman’s brains out against. It was essentially a stationary, quite lethal, club. IOW, Martin was armed with a lethal weapon and using it to kilo Zimmerman.

Your right. He probably should have stayed out of it. I believe his decision was based on the race tensions. Time(which is what he bought) tends to lessen the outrage and memories of those in society. As for being a defendant, time is your friend. The longer you can drag things out, the better chances you have a positive outcome.. look at casey. Jose had the case for three years before it went to trial. That was his goal(he’s a friend of mine).

They’re Skillets according to Sharpton.

It’s an election year, the Black Klan has to lynch Whitey to keep the brothers on the Plantation. Hopefully he sues the crap out of Al Stepenfetchon and Jesse Jackmail.

I think you missed the point of the original question, which was whether anyone found the skittles and iced tea.

If they were at the site where the beating took place, then it is inconclusive. However, if, as has been stipulated elsewhere, they had been placed some distance from the place of attack, then that would certainly substantiate George's claim that Martin had been stalking him! Why would Martin have put them down other than an expectation of a physical confrontation.

Obviously Zimmerman slipped on somebody’s skittles.

Yeah, whitey obviously held up that poor little innocent angel for his candy.

Frankly, I'm surprised that ABC is owning up to this in light of their past lies and cover ups.

Medical report shows the skin on Trayvon’s knuckles was broken, which contradicts the black funeral director’s claim that there was no indication on TM’s body that he’d been hitting GZ.

According to Zimmerman, when Trayvon was bashing his head against the concrete, Zimmerman tried to get out his cell phone, but when he did that Trayvon saw his gun and tried to grab it. So Trayvon would have had a deadly weapon and presumably would have killed Zimmerman with it if he had managed to gain possession of it.

Has ABC gotten around to admitting that Zimmerman is partly of African ancestry? That detail seems to have been ignored in hopes of keeping the "white vigilante" story line alive.

"This entire prosecution is patently stupid."

This entire prosecution has been far more evil than just "patently stupid."
