As my nephew said about Zimmerman... [View all]

"George Zimmerman went to martial arts classes 3 times a week to catch a beat down in 20 seconds by a 17 year old 50 pounds lighter than him. His Master's name is Master Catch ABeatDown everybody in that school needs to ask for their money back. Cowardly dog."

I am asking a serious question here because I didn't the trial today but saw some news chops from it. Did they show any of the original photos that were shown to the media the night of the beating when he was taken to the police station? As I recall, those photos did not show anywhere near the wounds that the photos shown today did and these photos were take a day later when he went to the hospital. If he had been beaten so badly that night would not have gone to the hospital then? Or have I missed something?
