Warning Graphic Photo: Possible New Evidence Shows George Zimmerman's Bloodied Head

Zimmerman was treated at the scene by paramedics, then cuffed and driven in a police cruiser to the Sanford police station. He was questioned for hours and later released. In police surveillance video obtained last month by ABC News, Zimmerman's wounds are not apparent, and there were no bandages on his head.

Zimmerman was not admitted to a hospital or given stitches the night of the incident.

The person who took the photograph of a bloodied Zimmerman, asking not to be identified, told ABC News exclusively that they did not see the scuffle that night, but did hear it. The person recalled seeing Martin's prostrate body on the wet grass and said the gunpowder burns on Martin's gray hoodie were clearly visible.

The photographer said that after the shooting, Zimmerman asked the photographer to call his wife. When the photographer asked him what to say, Zimmerman blurted out, "Man, just tell her I shot someone."

(Watch them spin in the video...)

I watch very little tv news...a waste of time...the best news comes from London

Zimmerman must have beat that poor innocent Treyvon with the back of his head before he shot him.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I wasn’t zimmerman’s head. Just ask Sharpton.

So, ABC has this photo, and they run the SPD video while claiming "see? Zimmerman isn't injured!" To which Crump says that "icing on the cake" that Zimmerman has no justification for using deadly force.

That's as bad on ABC's part, as NBC editing the audio.

I notice that ABC is now showing photos of the 17 year old Trayvon Martin—a much less sympathetic portrayal of the attacker/victim. I wonder if Obama still thinks Martin looks like he could be his son.

Most accounts of the story say that when the dispatcher directed Zimmerman to break contact, he said, "OK" and went back to his vehicle. But, Martin followed and confronted him.

Yet, ABDNC continues to end their reports by saying that if Zimmerman had followed instructions and stopped the chase, the shooting would not have happened.

It won't matter to the race whores.

[who knows what evil?]

...but Zimmerman is the one behind bars...

[A CA Guy]

I wonder how far this political trial will go.

All evidence seems to say this was self defense, not second degree murder.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Zimmerman obviously took a hammer to the back of his own head to manufacture evidence that Trayvon was beating the —— out of him.

[kabar]

Amazing isn't it. The way Abrams put it was that even if Zimmerman was losing a fight, there was no justification for using his weapon!!! I guess self-defense is not acceptable even to the point when someone is bashing your head into the pavement and you are losing consciousness without any way of knowing what the assailant intends to do with you. We are living in a Twilight Zone.

It is not new evidence. If ABC is telling the truth it was taken 3 minutes after the shooting was recorded on the 911 call.

This is getting uglier by the day. As quick as this disinformation campaign is progressing - I don’t see us far from marshall law prior to the election. For our own good, of course.

“I notice that ABC is now showing photos of the 17 year old Trayvon Martin”

Where have you seen photos from ABC that portray Trayvon as less than the angel baby the rest of the media likes to show? I only see pics of Zimmerman in the aticle.

[Sacajaweau]

3 minutes later?? The photographer got the news how??

[Sacajaweau]

If Tray had "walked" towards home for 10 more seconds....he would have been home.

Tray went after Zimmerman. I have no doubt.

the digital picture has the GPS and time stamp embedded in the picture file.

It looks like Zimmerman was wearing a hat when he was injured.
