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.

He beat himself up just like Jim Carrey in “Liar Liar”
LOL! That stupid idiot at the funeral home was on TV at least twice to tell the world that he looked at Martin’s hands and there were no injuries to them. Ignorant liar.
Other people have been beaten severely by Blacks in ‘sympathy’ with this.
WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE LOT OF THEM? MEDIA, SUPPORTERS, FAMILY, 0BAMA, HOLDER....
ALL OF THEM.
don’t answer that.
Well I think that Our “Well if I had a son he would look like Trayvon” President needs to apologize on National TV
Lie he did. And I think it was all for 15 minutes of fame.
Wanted to make sure you all saw this....Seems the undertaker lied. Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Guess he didn’t think to look at his hands.
Nor does the lynch Zimmerman mob on this forum.
Let’s see if the Miami media reports THIS.
Get ready for the vermin to riot because the way it looks now, there’s no way they’re going to convict Zimmerman on a 2nd degree murder charge.
Can’t Zimmerman request that the judge decide the case?
Might be a better choice than the possibility of a poisoned jury. Of course, it is highly unlikely they can get 12 citizens to ignore the facts. But there is always the OJ jury to give one pause, isn’t there?
If zero had a son he would look like Zimmerman.
Obligatory MSM approved Trayvon Martin picture.
Waiting for the msm to claim big mean whitey was slaming his head into that poor little angel’s fists.
The problem is that nobody - including none of the voters - will care. The mass media is behind Obama, and as long as he keeps the media, he keeps the vote.
the reason Sharpton was hired by left media...to help sound the dog whistle
But, but, but, I thought it was only Tea Party leadership that gave dog whistle commands! Like when Sarah Palin issued dog whistle commands to Jared Loughner to shoot Gabby Giffords! (do I really need a sarcasm tag?)
I’m afraid guilt or innocence doesn’t matter. The political and media establishment has too much invested in seeing Zimmerman punished with at least a long prison sentence. Holder could even try for the death penalty with “hate crime” charges. I wish I had more faith in the judicial system...but it’s run by a lot of people who went to law school and can be manipulated by politicians.
Yup. And following that report, the newscaster added that he had not sought hospitalization, as if that somehow mitigates his injuries.
