1. Nose surely doesn't look injured

Blood on head was nowhere to be found on those surveillance-cam tapes from the police station.

Not buying any of it.

2. The blood wounds appear to be to the back of his head.

I had a fall a few months ago where I went face down. There was blood on my face and some fell to the front of my shirt. Went to the ER the next day on the advice of my wife and was told I would most likely develop a black eye. Took a day or two, but the eye was shut for another three. Black eyes don't happen right away.

3. Well.... pre-black eye bruising there is swelling happening almost immediately...

Skin turns reddish/blushing as well...it's a trauma response. I don't see any evidence of that either....so I don't believe for one nano-second Zimmy sustained the alleged injuries he has conveniently claims.

is odd since this is supposed to be the photo evidence.

How about having no blood on his shirt, since he was supposed to be under Tray when he shot him? I don't see any blood there. And the back of his coat is supposed to be stained from laying on his back getting his head bashed in.

Maybe my eyes are getting bad?

Where are the blood and grass stains on his clothes? The front of his jacket and his shirt have no blood on them. Seems like there would be blood if Martin was on top of him when he shot him. And the back of his jacket and jeans have not a lick of grass stains or dirt on them at all from being pinned down on the ground and punched by Martin. zimmerman is a lying sack of you know what and it will come out in court. How will he explain how clean his clothes were? From the look of the photos it looks like either he was the one on top or he was never on the ground at all.

claiming. All I can see is a couple scratches on the back of his head. Hands look fine, no scratches or signs of a fight. Clothing is clean and dry. Eyes not black.

9. Hmm maybe he should have driven away and not gone out of his car to chase him

as the dispatcher told him. That would have been a good idea.

I don't know if Trayvon Martin fought back at some point or not, but regardless, none of this would have happened if this idiot hadn't made stupid racist assumptions, followed him, gotten out of his car, and gone after him. He owns whatever happened after that.

as they don't seem to show much evidence for the claims. I was hoping maybe someone else could see anything but I guess not.

12. Is it normal for this much of the evidence to be released? Even in a high profile case?
Fri Jul 13, 2012, 10:24 PM

This is really odd. It's as if the defense wants the evidence out there for speculative purposes.

life threatening injuries to me. I've looked worse than that after falling down when I used to drink a bit.
