walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

^ This looks to me like someone who got punched in the nose.


^ 45 minutes later, this does not look to me like someone who was punched in the nose 25+ times under any circumstances, much less with such force that Zimmerman thought Travyon had something in his hand at the time (per his videotaped police interview that night).


IMO, the extent of Zimmerman's injuries doesn't match up with his account of the altercation. I think the defense will claim that Zimmerman was confused by the attack and the head bashing, and in such fear for his life, that he truly believed he'd been hit way more times than he had.

That's the only way I can see the defense addressing the inconsistencies between George's claims as compared to the on-scene medical evaluation and the photos taken at the police station shortly after the shooting.

Such a defense claim would also help to explain why Trayvon did not have a lot of George's blood on his person or torn up hands.

Very possible to grab someone's head with both hands without digging your nails into their scalp; that could be easily demonstrated and explain why Trayvon had no DNA under his nails.

This is only speculation as to how the defense will address these issues and troubling questions for Zimmerman.
