George Zimmerman's Medical Report has Some...

The accused murderer of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman's medical report shows some rather surprising things. Zimmerman claims that Martin just started attacking him for no apparent reason. Of course, this makes absolutely no sense, but it's Zimmerman's story and he is sticking to it. Zimmerman says that Martin was repeatedly bashing his head on the pavement and punching him in the face.

Zimmerman, facing a charge of second degree murder, claims he shot Martin purely in self-defense. Looking at the size difference in these two, it is really hard to believe that Martin could have ever had the upper hand.

George Zimmerman's medical report states that he "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," according to ABC News.

Even if Martin did get into a scuffle with Zimmerman, the prosecution is saying that it was likely because Zimmerman instigated it. Martin, carrying iced tea and Skittles, was believed to be profiled by Zimmerman, and this is what led to this situation taking place. Martin was not bothering anyone or breaking the law whatsoever.

Unfortunately, with Martin dead, the public and his family will only get one side of the story: George Zimmerman's side.

"Martin was not bothering anyone or breaking the law whatsoever."

Who was the the eyewitness that makes that claim?

"Do you think he was going to disable an alarm system MacGyver-style with the the innocuous items he carried?"

Why do you ask such a question?

"The fact that NO ONE says otherwise, not even Zimmerman."

Are you saying that Zimmerman believes giving someone two black eyes, a broken nose, two lacerations on the back of the head and a back injury wouldn't bother anyone and is legal?

Saying, "Martin was not bothering anyone or breaking the law whatsoever" is to come to a conclusion without evidence.

I heard on the local news here that the autopsy showed Trayvon's knuckles were all torn up, while the Doctor noted Zimmerman's knuckles weren't. I guess it will all come out, but if that's true, it helps support Trayvon attacking him first.

Lee and char that is a bunch of horse crap. As long as the operator advised the jag off not to get out of the car the car yet he decided to do so thus leading to events that happen. Personally I hope trayvon beat his grown man ass. How is it George was defending himself without presenting or voacalizing anything as to the reason he was following Trayvon. You scared white motherfukkas kills me with your fear. And the cowardly comments reveal so much about that fear. And I love it. Love it Love it Love it you scared cowards. can't even feel any type of shame for the death of an innocent person? Nahhh I guess to you both this teenager was not a human being huh. God sees everything and doesn't forget especially internet racist cowards. And since he so brave why is he in hiding? No excuse for such a tough guy protecting his neighborhood.

I am sorry, and if I knew any way to make it NOT happen, I would do it. The question now is did he just shoot him, or was he in fear of serious bodily harm or death? Was is racial in nature? Of course it was a tragedy.

He had exited a truck. Trayvon Martin was walking. Zimmerman could have gotten back in his truck and drove off, calling 911 while he did. Instead, he chose to gun down a young man. That ought to tell you something about this man's thinking.

Zimmerman's injuries were NOT serious as evidenced by his not needing medical attention. His nose bleed stopped immediately as did his 1" and 1/4" head lacerations. His blacked eyes were the result of the broken nose. TM hit him in the nose, he fell and hist his head (I doubt his head was bashed as he claimed) TM had only one small abrasion to one knuckle on his left hand, no other DNA on GZ or TM exchanged as would be if they continued to scuffle. My dog bumped my nose and broke it and my eyes were multi colored. GZ did not have any wounds as though he tried to fist fight, though he likely did shove TM, probably first per the phone conversation with Dee Dee. GZ LOST his right to protection under Stand your Ground, but still had Self Defense, but as a Gun carrier with a CCW, comes a lot of responsibility with force to force and I too carry a gun and gun against fist does not make it in my learning, and although GZ at one point clained TM went for his gun, TM's prints were not on his gun.
