To me, that does not appear to be Zimmerman’s head in the picture. The head in the picture has a clear “cul de sac” bald spot and hair line. However, although Zimmerman keeps his hair cut very short, from the court room coverage yesterday, he seems to have a pretty full head of hair on the top and back of his head. The only other explanation could be that the camera flash washed out an area of thinner hair, but the top of the head in the picture seems to be completely bald.
Now, based on everything I’ve seen so far about the case, I tend to believe Zimmerman’s account of the incident. However, I’d like more facts about the details of the origin of this picture.
The photo had GPS information embedded in it as all iphone photos do. It was taken in Sanford within minutes of the attack.
It’s consistent with the earlier video stills that showed the back of Zimmerman’s head. Apparently he’s got a patch of fairly thick hair on top/front and a large bald spot on the back. This is not uncommon. I don’t see much reason to doubt this new photo.
The incident happened well over a month ago.
