(11,065 posts)that you were just almost beaten to death? Yeah, I can see Zimmerman not wanting medical treatment if he just twisted his ankle but he claimed he was punched in the face 35-40 times and had his head slammed against concrete 20 or so times. Had that REALLY happened to him and that he felt he had to shoot Martin for fear of immanent death how in the world would he NOT believe that he was so severely injured and would logically need immediate medical attention. The dude claimed he was about the DIE from this supposed beating.
He didn't get medical treatment because he KNEW that his injuries were insignificant and therefore did not reflect what he claimed had happened to him. He had no problem going to work the next day and scurrying immediately off to be evaluated medically when his employer told him he couldn't come back to work until he got a medical release.
