Two police reports written the night that George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin said that Zimmerman had a bloody face and nose, according to police reports made public today.
The reports also note that two witness accounts appear to back up Zimmerman's version of what happened when they describe a man on his back with another person wearing a hoodie straddling him and throwing punches.
In addition, Trayvon Martin's father told an investigator after listening to 911 tapes that captured a man's voice frantically callling for help that it was not his son calling for help.
The new information is part of a trove of documents released by the Florida State Attorney today in the case against Zimmerman, who is charged with second degree murder for the Feb. 26 killing of Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old African American male.

Why is the THC in Trayvon's blood a "big piece of evidence"?
Regarding the injuries, the fact that Zimmerman and Martin fought is not disputed. Nor is the fact that Martin was winning the fight, and that Zimmerman sustained injuries. When I say that the evidence of injuries is not the biggest piece of evidence released, it is only because the injuries are not in dispute. What is in dispute is who started the fight, so, in my opinion, evidence that may shed light on who started the fight is more important than evidence of injuries sustained during the fight (if Zimmerman started the fight, it will be much more difficult for him to successfully establish a self-defense claim, regardless of his injuries).
Rick Scott (RINO-FL) is feckless. No backbone t'all.
Corey has zero evidence for this, and Zimmerman has a history of successfully mentoring a black youth and working with and alongside blacks. He has no admissible history of violence, aggressiveness or provocation.
Corey cannot testify or give evidence, and her speculation will be clearly identified as such with no evidentiary backing. Zimmerman's testimony (if he chooses) is evidence and is backed by substantial other independent evidence.
If Zimmerman is properly prepared for testimony, Corey is looking to be Nifong's roommate.
its horrible that this young man was killed, but he seemed to instigate it with his suspicious behavior and his actions....
the parents should face the facts that their son was not an innocent bystander...and the public should know that Martin used pot, was out of school because he was suspended, was well over 6 feet tall and towered over Z and that Martin had issues in other things as well....
It’s a bad day for the libs and their black idols.
Angela Whorey should be charged with obstruction of justice. IMMEDIATELY. She cannot say she didn’t have all the evidence, so what gives? Her Affidavit withheld evidence so she should be charged. Alan Dershowitz has been strangely silent since his initial commentary. Did the black community get to him too, just as they did Whorey?
I haven’t seen a SINGLE piece of evidence since this all started that didn’t exonerate Zimmerman
Unless the have balastic evidence that is drastically different from Zimmermans story (like Martin was shot in the back) then this case is over, and Zimmerman walks.
....the media making up stories as they go....
Pedal faster, Gutman. Maybe the wind will blow the pie off you creepy, liberal, biased face.
Did you miss the video of him refereeing a street fight?

Gottareference?
Corey’s lead investigator, Det. Dale Gilbreath, stated under oath at GZ’s bond hearing that there was no evidence regarding who started the fight. This was after the statement given by the woman who supposedly saw a chase and then a fight.
The autopsy also shows that Zimmerman shot Martin from a distance of between 1 inch and 18 inches away, bolstering Zimmerman's claim that he shot Martin during a close struggle.
Texas Freeper, this evidence exactly fits Zimmerman's account of the shooting.

And miss all that money and paid vacation?
If this goes to trial, Zimmerman’s attorney will “take the gloves off” and all sorts of unpleasant evidence will be brought to light. Evidence that will further show that Martin was a violent thug who embraced the Fight Club culture.
Trayvon’s parents should get out while the getting is good.
They’ll still foment their little Race Riots. It’s all they’ve got.
You can bet the farm that it is going to trial. The media, America’s favorite reverends,a/k/a the “Just Us Bros”, the Lynce zimmerman crowd on this forum, the self hating White Liberals have spent too much time and effort on it.
This article just mentioned that the tox test showed the substance from marijuana. Is the full tox report out somewhere?
Trayvon having drugs in him blows away the prosecution’s claim that Zimmerman was suspicious just because Trayvon is black.
Never waste a good reason to riot.
