None of this should imply that Zimmerman wasn’t in the wrong. But, it does lend credence to the narrative laid out by George Zimmerman and at least one supposed witness, and highlights that those who immediately called for Zimmerman to get the death penalty, or just arrested and sent to jail, should wait for evidence
(ABC News) A medical report compiled by the family physician of accused Trayvon Martin murderer George Zimmerman and obtained exclusively by ABC News found that Zimmerman was diagnosed with a “closed fracture” of his nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head and a minor back injury the day after he fatally shot Martin during an alleged altercation.
Appears as if he was in a fight and had his head bashed into the ground.
(WFTV) 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.
As the article goes on to point out, there could be two reasons for this: Trayvon could have been the aggressor, or, he could have been defending himself/trying to get away. But, there has been no narrative that Zimmerman assaulted Trayvon prior to the shooting.
Liberals wanted some sort of cause to be able to scream “racism”, and they found it in Trayvon. Even though Zimmerman is a Hispanic. Liberals did not care about evidence and the rule of law, nor “innocent till proven guilty.” They wanted their gallon of blood.
I bet they do not move on charging Zimmerman before the election. Too many White Hispanics will not vote for Obama if they do it. NMP needs every vote he can buy, muster or steal.
This can all be easily explained. Martin was a knucle drager and Zimmerman bashed his head in the ground in order to avoid prosecution.
You can bet that the DOJ will hold off on announcing whether he will be charged with a “hate crime” till after the election.

I think that will depend on how much Obama is losing ground in the polls. If he keeps shedding votes in the minority communities as he is now, he will have Holder make the charge to try and energize the minority vote.
In the interim, the DOJ has to keep pursuing those “disparate impact” discrimination lawsuits to show they are doing anything.
