What to make of the "ABC World News" report about George Zimmerman's injuries after shooting Trayvon Martin?
The TV analysts stepped in Tuesday night after ABC's Matt Gutman reported that Zimmerman's medical report showed the shooter had a broken nose, two black eyes and gashes on his head.
Zimmerman had refused to go to the hospital the night of the shooting, and his doctor treated him the next day, Gutman reported in his exclusive.
ABC's Dan Abrams said, "There's no question these documented injuries help Zimmerman's case, but the fundamental legal question remains: Who was the aggressor?"
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in Trayvon's death. Zimmerman has claimed self-defense.
Ben Crump, attorney for the Martin family, told CNN'sAnderson Cooper that Zimmerman's injuries needed to be put in full context. Crump highlighted that Zimmerman had neither a concussion nor stitches.
Trayvon Martin "didn't start this fight," Crump said.
But CNN's Jeffrey Toobin wanted to know how Crump knew that Zimmerman was the aggressor. Crump pointed to the 911 calls.
Crump said he "wanted everybody to wait until the full evidence comes out," even as he continued to blast Zimmerman....

Wow - we’ve actually sunk to a point where even in the face of proof people don’t believe it.
Another glorious day in Obamaland. :(
Crump is about as stupid as a box of rocks.
Until this report showed up, nobody was saying that Z. jumped T. and began a brawl, and T. would have had to been eating magic Skittles if Z. had pointed a gun at him from a distance and T. had thought the best response was rushing Z. T. wasn’t shot in the back. And of course nobody in the case is bringing up “Stand Your Ground,” not the defense nor the persecution — it did not figure even hypothetically.
This is a rather rarefied clump of people. The unwashed rabble is scoffing at this racist attack upon Z.
Help? No. It will end it.
I hope he sues the Black Panthers too
Nice try, libtard press.
If a video turns up that shows that Zimmerman was attacked unfairly, your next claim was that he didn’t 1) yell loud enough, 2) lie there and get beaten some more, etc, etc.
Keep it up. You’re trying to incite a race war, and congrats, you’re doing quite well. However, you libtards are going to be the ones in the middle of it.
Let’s face it, at this point the “white hispanic” is being hunted.
Perhaps Zimmerman hit Trayvon on the knuckles with his eyes and his nose. Yeah, sure, that computes!
they probably won’t even look at it until after they’ve convicted him and hung him.
The damage to Martin’s knuckles was from Zimmerman assaulting his hands with his face.
Actually it is not a question since the fundamental legal presumption is that absent contrary evidence, Zimmerman is innocent.
And, if Z. had blindsided T. instead of vice versa as Z. reported, wouldn’t we expect T. to have suffered more than bruised knuckles?
It’s like a joke my dad used to make. “Here,” (making a fist and holding it stationary in front of himself) “run your nose into this.”
One way you can be be 100% certain the press is biased, they are incapable of saying oh, wait, here is new information and it looks like our original info was wrong.
IF they weren’t biased they would have big headlines, instead they bury news that conflicts with their stupid leftist agenda.
They can’t deal with the possibility that a black kid hit someone, or the “white” guy may not have been a racist murderer.
Maybe they can be let down easy by coming up with a violin song about oh how white society had failed Tray and driven him to impulsive brawling.
Has a major legal firm yet taken up Mr. Zimmerman’s defense? I remember his first attorneys quitting, in a press conference, leaking information they shouldn’t have.
You were on a roll, Crump, why wait now?
