Autopsy Results Show Trayvon Martin Had Injuries To His Knuckles

SANFORD, Fla. —

WFTV has confirmed that autopsy results show 17-year-old Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died.

The information could support George Zimmerman's claim that Martin beat him up before Zimmerman shot and killed him.

The autopsy results come as Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O’Mara continues to go over other evidence in the case.

O’Mara wouldn't comment on the autopsy evidence, but WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said it's better for the defense than it is for the prosecution.

WFTV has learned that the medical examiner found two injuries on Martin’s body: The fatal gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles.

When you compare Trayvon’s non-fatal injury with Zimmerman's bloody head wounds, the autopsy evidence is better for the defense, Sheaffer said.

“It goes along with Zimmerman's story that he acted in self-defense, because he was getting beaten up by Trayvon Martin,” Sheaffer said.

The injury to Martin’s knuckle also fits with Zimmerman's story that before he shot and killed Martin, Martin had broken his nose and knocked him to the ground, slamming his head on the sidewalk.

the media coverage and outrage came a month after the shooting. Then all at once... including Obama, it became the focus. Seemed they needed to play out the war on women/birth control issue first.

They over charged the guy, ...he is let go..then whip up racial tensions

If MYTH ROMNEY had a son, he would not look like Trayvon (spelling?), but he would avoid serving in the military.

Dragging one’s knuckles down that long concrete sidewalk would cause knuckl;e damage.

Just ask Michelle. That's why she needs a full time manicurist. Meow.

This case could end up discrediting the entire justice system of the United States if Mr. Zimmerman's defense is competent. It will make a fools those who prosecute it.

This shouldn't stop at the Justice Department, it should go to the Oval Office. Obama injected himself into this debate before he had any facts, so now he's too much of a pussy to admit that he screwed up and he's doubling down.

Well now, I guess the “Black” Caretaker was mistaken about the knuckle bruising that he DIDN’T see. SHOCKING!

Speaking of Skittles, I’m wondering if there were any candy Skittles found in Trayvon’s system, or was there Dextromethorphan (street name = skittles). The article said “O’Mara wouldn’t comment on the autopsy evidence, but WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said it’s better for the defense than it is for the prosecution.” Also would there be Arizona iced tea or marijuana (street name = tea)? It would be very interesting to be able to view those autopsy results, in light of what we have learned about Trayvon’s character once this became a national story.

If Obama had a son, he'd be attending St. Albans, have two personal assistants, and a chauffer.

Obviously GZ was headbutting Trayvons hands.

Sounds like something from a UK Police report.....

,,,,the miscreant repeatedly struck his head on the policeman's boot...causing damage to the front and side of said boot .....

Miscreant is subsequently charged with damage to govenment property...the boot.
