Couple that with being in jail in solitary ...for his own safety. So, if he has money on his books....all he has left to do is eat lots if commissary snacks...24/7.

a big bully? I mean people see him with such a thin weight in court and it looks like Trayvon's size may make it more of a "SYG" defense. People might have a hard time seeing how George outweighed Trayvon by 100 lbs.

There's a photo in the media of Zimmerman with a suit and tie on that is newer where he is thinner than he was in the 2005 mug shot.

Edited to add...

This one below is newer than the 2005 mug shot when he was wearing orange:

...he looks thinner than he does in THIS shot.

So apparently he lost a lot of weight because of being disraught over killing Trayvon BEFORE HE MET TRAYVON.

In the last 48 days, if you compare the police video and today's mug shot, it's abundantly clear that this man hasn't lost an OUNCE of weight.

His dad's white. His mom's from Peru. He's half white.

My dad's mom came over on the boat from Italy. My mom's mom did not. I'm half Italian.

That's how that works. Both parents have the same ethnicity, that's your ethnicity.

But Trayvon was black and Zimmerman HAS to be "white," because it is better suited to the freepers' "script."

And I come from Mexico. Take my word, or not, I have zero mestizo blood in me. That said to our racist friends at FR I am Jewish, so not quite white.

Race is an invention to keep social orders. But serious, there are people living in Peru right now who have zero blood in them that is native. Oh don't worry, they have their own racism as well.

It was first stated he had a bloody nose by one newspaper and then the Sentinel said broken and then it was verified by Oliver, Taafe and also his brother stating he had a BROKEN nose.

anyone who has been involved in athletics, and particularly boxing, but heck, any form of athletics - you've seen people get their noses busted up. It's probably happened to you once or twice, if you've played basketball, soccer, wrestled, etc.

When your nose gets dinged, not only is that a blood gusher that is unbelievably hard to turn off, but the rest of your face *always* shows a related result. And that part does not go away for hours, at a minimum, and often, for days.

If Treyvon busted his nose up, believe me, the video would have unquestionable evidence of that. That his face shows no sign of anything like this on the video says that anyone advancing this kind of story is completely full of shit.

So long as you have it set, it's not going to look broken when it heals.

I'm not saying this guy's story is believable-- just offering a little info on broken noses.

The first time was a pretty serious break, too-- clear across the bone. You wouldn't believe how bad it hurt. Everything just went black and I heard someone yelling and it took a second to realize it was me. The second time was just a fracture on the left side. No bleeding, no bruising either time. I don't know if that's unusual or not.

I'm only 75% kidding.

I think that is really unusual.

I'm just taking a stab at this, but over many years of athletics, I think I've seen about 100 broken noses, give or take a few, and well over a thousand bloody noses. Add in watching sports on television and those numbers go up considerably. No bleeding, no bruising? That is pretty freaking unusual, in my experience.

I've ever seen bled like a son of a gun. He didn't have a spot of blood on him, so I conclude that there is no way it could have been broken.

Just getting smacked in the nose without breaking it will cause a gush of blood.

He might or might not get off, But he will have hell to pay for the rest of his life,
for taking the life of another.
