Topic: Zimmerman Had Substantial Injuries........ | |
---|---|
MIAMI – Court records show George Zimmerman had a pair of black eyes, a nose fracture and two cuts to the back of his head after the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
The medical records were part of evidence released Tuesday that prosecutors have in the second-degree murder case against Zimmerman. He has entered a plea of not guilty and claims self-defense in the Feb. 26 shooting. A message left Tuesday evening with Zimmerman's attorney was not immediately returned. Zimmerman was treated Feb. 27 at Altamonte Family Practice. A phone call made Tuesday evening to the practice rang unanswered. ABC News first reported Zimmerman's injuries from the medical records. Some of the injuries were previously reported by The Associated Press based on video of Zimmerman at a jail sally port. Zimmerman, 28, is free on $150,000 bail and living in an undisclosed location. He has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges that were only filed after the governor appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the slaying in the central Florida city of Sanford. The case has become a national racial flashpoint because the Martin family and supporters contend Zimmerman singled Martin out because he was black. It has also sparked renewed debate over "stand your ground" laws pushed by the National Rifle Association. While backers say such laws protect innocent lives, detractors contend they can become a virtual license to kill and are prone to misuse by criminals and misinterpretation by judges. Zimmerman, who faces a potential life sentence if convicted, said he only fired his handgun because Martin attacked him. If Zimmerman prevails on his self-defense claim, a judge could dismiss the case before trial.

This is a tragic outcome. Let's not speculate as to the unknown events that took place between the two. I will, however, express my disgust that the president of the United States would make such a comment as "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon." That statement alone prompted prosecutorial action and insinuated Zimmerman's guilt. It's bad enough that "Reverend" Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are stoking the racial fire without our president chiming in.

You rely on Fox news? Really? If there's racism to be found anywhere in this event, I suspect it was in Zimmerman's heart.

Was it offensive because it mentioned similarity in appearance? would it be more acceptable if he had specified his son might wear a hoody?,,,,, it was a statement of compassion, it didnt imply anyones guilt. The boy was DEAD, the man was NOT. It showed empathy for the family of a lost child,,, I agree we should let the 'facts' be disclosed in a courtroom where there is higher scrutiny, rather than mere internet opinions or conjecture,,, |

OR the man was a profiling, abusive drunk (much more expectation for him to know better considering being an adult and all) and the public can do a service by putting him where he cant hurt any other people |

Self defense. |

Self defense. not if you are the one with the gun,a victim fighting for their life may leave an assailant with serious injuries and nothings been 'proven' until there are facts disclosed in court a bandage on the nose AFTER When the night of there is nothing there? refusal to be seen , and a report from the FAMILY doctor when your FAMILY was a judge,,,,,, Ill let the scrutiny required in a court determine how valuable that 'proof' is,, if it exists,,, |

That may have been a result of scraping them on the pavement while he was trying to run away. |

I wonder why there wasn't a grand jury? second degree murder is not a capital offense in florida so does not require grand jury indictment |
