CBS News) Police surveillance video that appears to conflict with a Florida neighborhood watch volunteer's account of a confrontation with the teenager he eventually gunned down, Trayvon Martin, was called "the icing on the cake" by the Martin family's attorney on "CBS This Morning" Thursday.
Attorney Ben Crump told Erica Hill and Charlie Rose that the video refutes George Zimmerman's claims of shooting Martin in self-defense. The video, obtained by ABC News, shows Zimmerman, without any obvious injuries, being led into police headquarters in Sanford, Fla., after the shooting. Zimmerman's father and lawyer have said Martin attacked Zimmerman in his gated community, breaking his nose with a punch to the face and slamming the back of his head against the sidewalk.
"Thank God for surveillance video," said Crump, "because obviously there was a conspiracy to cover up the truth and sweep Trayvon Martin's death under the rug, and as (Martin's mother) Sybrina Fulton said yesterday upon seeing this video, 'This is the icing on the cake.'"

Wasn’t he treated and cleaned up by emergency medical personnel before this video was taken?
Candy necklaces, Altoids tins, M&M’s, Skittles, Tootsie Rolls are used to conceal Ecstasy tablets.
do the police have the Skittles wrapper?
CBS,ABC ant tne rest of the useless media have thrown gasoline on the fire they want a race war.
It’s now officially a conspiracy. No matter of what facts emerge, the fix is in.
Yes and im sure EMTs will testify to injuries and he went to the hospital the next day and had broken nose which im sure is documented.
So sick of these race hustlers and lynch mobs.
Stop confusing the narrative with facts and evidence! Four legs good! Two legs bad!
Exactly. Same ole’ bullshit
Now there you go interjecting facts into this...we can't have that.
How long after the incident did he arrive at the police station?
But their semi-literate attorney says it's the "troof"
Yes he was. The police report states he received first aid at the scene. What is one of the first steps in first aid? Stop any bleeding and then clean up the wound.
Oh where is the autopsy report? I’d like to read it? Link please?
I have seen the video. It is also interesting that George Zimmerman appears to weigh much less than the reported 250 pounds. He is reported to be about 5’8’ to 5’9” tall. In the video, with him at that height, I would estimate that he weighs less than 200 pounds.
He does appear much more fit than in the earlier pictures, though.
Who knows, but his injuries by police and EMTs is surely documented as well as the medical report he had a broken nose.
I still believe Zippo is going to be forced off the ticket and that's when the real fun starts.
This video plus the chance that he may know some of these cops from all the 911 calls he has made is not good for his already bogus defense.
That head wound is not visible on the ‘video’.
