Photo taken after Trayvon Martin shooting shows bloody George Zimmerman [LIVE THREAD]

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. —

WFTV just learned Friday morning about a picture of gunman George Zimmerman, taken just three minutes after the shooting that left 17-year-old Trayvon Martin dead.

The picture reportedly shows cuts on the back of Zimmerman's head, with blood trickling down.

Zimmerman, who shot and killed 17-year-old Martin on February 26 in a gated Sanford community, claimed he killed Martin in self-defense. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of Martin.

The picture would seem to back up Zimmerman's claim that Martin slammed his head against the sidewalk.

That picture could be part of the evidence shown to the judge in court Friday morning during Zimmerman's bond hearing.

ABC News is breaking more on this story on Good Morning America at 7 a.m. on Channel 9. We'll have more on Central Florida's TV 27 at 7 a.m.

Meanwhile, Trayvon Martin's parents will come face to face for the first time with Zimmerman on Friday.

Zimmerman is due in a Seminole County courtroom for a bond hearing at 9 a.m.

After a week and a half behind bars, Zimmerman may be walking out of jail to await trial on a second-degree murder charge.

The parents of 17-year-old Martin are expected in the courtroom during the bond hearing.

Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara will likely argue to Judge Kenneth Lester that Zimmerman is not a flight risk, pointing to fact that Zimmerman turned himself in immediately when charges were filed.

Judge Lester must decide if Zimmerman will be offered bond.

“Her husband is white so she thought could pass off a white baby as theirs.”

I didn't know husband (sometimes reported as “boyfriend) was white. Was wondering why she didn't try for a black baby. Sick, sick, sick.

Once again the press bends over backwards to set the "narrative", which doesn't necessarily mean the truth.

As Reading, couldn’t help but think that if the police don’t have a picture very similar to the one posted by ABC today, they are negligent and Z has a case against them too.

It appears from the way the witness (John —as in John Doe) gave a discription of the incident that he has some LEO or maybe military police experience. Taking the picture would confirm that experience.

The prosecutor has an AFFIRMATIVE DUTY to disclose information that proves innocense. The ethics rules mandate this. The law mandates this.

If she had such information and she witheld it then she, and her underlings, are the ones in trouble.

Duke case should show that type of prosecution looses...even looses the prosecutors law license.

Any time the average citizen gets involved in “the system” the cabal of LEOs, judges, lawyers and bail bondsmen ALL get a piece of you whether you are innocent or guilty.

It's big business.

The Zimmermans should be able to win some major lawsuits soon.

I sure hope so.
