Autopsy Results Show Trayvon Martin Had Injuries To His Knuckles

SANFORD, Fla. —

WFTV has confirmed that autopsy results show 17-year-old Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died.

The information could support George Zimmerman's claim that Martin beat him up before Zimmerman shot and killed him.

The autopsy results come as Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O’Mara continues to go over other evidence in the case.

O’Mara wouldn't comment on the autopsy evidence, but WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said it's better for the defense than it is for the prosecution.

WFTV has learned that the medical examiner found two injuries on Martin’s body: The fatal gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles.

When you compare Trayvon’s non-fatal injury with Zimmerman's bloody head wounds, the autopsy evidence is better for the defense, Sheaffer said.

“It goes along with Zimmerman's story that he acted in self-defense, because he was getting beaten up by Trayvon Martin,” Sheaffer said.

The injury to Martin’s knuckle also fits with Zimmerman's story that before he shot and killed Martin, Martin had broken his nose and knocked him to the ground, slamming his head on the sidewalk.

I've been expecting this report. I said when this first happened that Travon's knuckles would show whether he was hitting Zimmerman or not.

It won't matter to the Feds. They'll charge Zimmerman with a hate crime against knuckles.

"17-year-old Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died. "

Maybe the injuries came from dragging them on the ground?

Justice department is part of obama's political machine. They want race issues to escalate. Breitbart mentioned this as a political tool for election, the reason Sharpton was hired by left media...to help sound the dog whistle

Damn right it’s over, especially if this doc took X-rays, shows them time stamped, and testifies to all that in court. And where does this lead? That GZ will be a very rich man with the lawsuits that could start flying against NBC, MSNBC, The NY Times, Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Spike Lee, Roseanne Barr for defamation. But you know what? I don’t think he will sue. Why? Because he’s too nice a guy. Matter of fact I will bet on it he does not sue. That’s the kind of guy these liberal pukes tried to get killed. A nice guy who used his free time to try to help people unlike these fools who put his and his parents life in danger.

The way Zimmermans attorney conducted himself at the earlier hearing, I’d say he’s more than competent.

Short of a full railroad job, Zimmerman gets off.

This trial (both trials,actually) will come down to jury selection.Both prosecutors will want an OJ jury...the defense will want a jury with a collective IQ of 100 or higher.

“Short of a full railroad job, Zimmerman gets off.”

Anything can happen. I think it was F. Lee Bailey who said that he told his clients not to think that the outcome was determined by guilt or innocence. Sad commentary.

Remember the widely quoted undertaker who announced Martin had no injuries. Of course the only area that gets bruised during a beating like that is the knuckle.

I hadn't thought of that.

The prosecution can play it like OJ's defense team did. Attack the ME, attack the police, attack the police forensic work, lab work, all that. Find out where some x-ray techician used the 'n-word' back in high school.

Only problem is that'll have the county prosecutor attacking other county/municipal employees. I don't see how that can work out as anything but a CF. Then again the whole thing is a massive CF already.

Also, if the local prosecutor screws it up badly enough, maybe Eric Holder will find something else to do with his time. Or maybe Darrell Issa will give him something else to do with his time. Or maybe he'll just run out of time.

Yeah, and those racist White Hispanic types always try to attack those sensitive areas around the knuckles first.

How is it that for the first time in my life I actually am afraid of a race war in this country? Hope and change my ass.

Many have opined it is long overdue.

Possibly look at it this way. The combatants on the urban side will be the hate filled ones causing all the trouble. Once they are neutralized, progress with the remaining occupants may be possible, as they are not the ones looking to kill whitey.

"I have seen fewer and fewer articles about this as more information comes out - it all started falling apart when the police video showed the injuries to Zimmerman’s head (despite the best efforts of the media to obscure the footage)."

Reminds me of the "Beer Summit" incident. Obama mouthed off "the Police acted stupidly" and then all the cries of how racist the cop was. Then the Cops background came out (ehich showed just the opposite) and how neighbors had called the police because they thought the guy trying to get in was a burglar.

Then we had a "Beer Summit" because it blew up in Obama's Face!

Bottom line the "FACTS" got in the way of the Liberal "meme" in both cases.
