George Zimmerman head wound gives little clarity to Trayvon Martin case

<...>
The latest tidbit – an enhanced image from a police video, which seems to show an injury on the head of George Zimmerman – adds another piece to a puzzle that's still unresolved.

<...>
But legal experts say this newest drop of evidence falls far short of being proof that Zimmerman's whole story is correct.

<...>
A wound on the head could be consistent with Zimmerman's story of being attacked after losing sight of Martin and heading on foot back toward his vehicle. But if Zimmerman instigated the confrontation, an injury would also be consistent with Trayvon struggling to defend himself, says Gary Kleck, a criminologist and gun-crime expert at Florida State University in Tallahassee.

<...>
The Martin family's attorney, Benjamin Crump, says the girlfriend has reported hearing Trayvon say, "Oh, he's right behind me again," and "Why are you following me?"

"Assuming that's accurate then it most assuredly suggests Zimmerman was initiating the contact," Kleck says.

I have a strong feeling it will be Trayvon's girlfriend and Zimmerman's own 911 call that ultimately puts Zimmerman behind bars for a long time.

Sorry Zimmerman defenders, your boy is going down.
