Trayvon Martin Video Shows No Blood or Bruises on George Zimmerman

March 28, 2012

A police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon Martin was shot dead shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who says he shot Martin after he was punched in the nose, knocked down and had his head slammed into the ground.

The surveillance video, which was obtained exclusively by ABC News, shows Zimmerman arriving in a police cruiser. As he exits the car, his hands are cuffed behind his back. Zimmerman is frisked and then led down a series of hallways, still cuffed.

Zimmerman, 28, is wearing a red and black fleece and his face and head are cleanly shaven. He appears well built, hardly the portly young man depicted in a 2005 mug shot that until a two days ago was the single image the media had of Zimmerman.

The initial police report noted that Zimmerman was bleeding from the back of the head and nose, and after medical attention it was decided that he was in good enough condition to travel in a police cruiser to the Sanford, Fla., police station for questioning.

His lawyer later insisted that Zimmerman's nose had been broken in his scuffle with 17-year-old Martin.

In the video an officer is seen pausing to look at the back of Zimmerman's head, but no abrasions or blood can be seen in the video and he did not check into the emergency room following the police questioning.

Thanks for consolidating Jimmy.

The video seems to indicate there has been a LOT of misinformation going around, mostly about Zimmerman.
 
So the witnesses that saw Zimmerman getting his head bashed in by Trayvon were lying? Or judged wrong? Or were coerced? Has anybody here seen this video yet?

The video is shot from far away. Doesn't really add much of anything to the story since he obviously would have been treated at the scene and all the blood wiped away. But I'm sure Spike Lee will find it damning. Maybe he can use it to terrorize some more old people.
