(8,001 posts)I don't think there is a good enough angle to tell if Zimmerman's nose has been injured. But there is a good enough view of the back of his head and there is no injury visable. A gash that would require stitches should have been quite visable. One of the cops also walks behind Zimmerman and inspects the back of his head but shows no reaction. The most telling thing is Zimmerman is still wearing his red jacket. I would have expected the police to have taken that away as evidence (grass on the back, etc.). The jacket looks spotless. Zimmerman has said that Martin was on top of him and the police have said that Martin was found face down. Logically that would mean that Martin would have fallen forward, even on top of Zimmerman. That red jacket would have had Martin's blood on it and the police would not have removed that blood evidence. There just doesn't appear to be any physical evidence to support Zimmerman's account. No wonder the homicide detective thought Zimmerman's account was not believable and recommended he be charged with manslaughter. The fact that he was overruled on the spot smells of political pressure coming from somewhere. The two that overruled the homicide detective are both now on leave -- geez, I wonder why. And I wonder how the video made its way into ABC's hands.
