Reuters: "Trayvon Martin's killer showed signs of injury: neighbors"

13. bandages

I agree with those who say the bandages were put there to make him look like he sustained injuries. Neither the Sanford Police nor Zimmerman is stupid. One reason for this for me is why are there no bandages on Zimmerman when he arrives at the Police Station. So, it looks like Zimmerman who was a free man applied the bandages and then reenacted his story with the Cops and his Dad at the crime scene. Of course neighbors are going to see him with the bandages on his nose and head. But as I've said there were no bandages on him entering the Station on the night of the murder, so why would there be a reason for them the next day at the crime scene. I say "window dressing". Another reason is I would have done the same in his predicament. He's trying to stay out of jail and he's going to do everything, as in everything. He knows how the judicial system works and he knows how the Police work. He knows and knew Martin probably had family and they would be putting pressure on the Police. Zimmerman is not stupid..he's doing as much as he can to make it appear as self-defense. He's going to lose the battle. Martin's girlfriend and what she heard, his going after Martin with a gun, and with a warning from the Police Dispatcher not to do so, he was familiar with the rules of not confronting and not caring a gun before the Police dispatcher said what he did, Martin screaming for help and then the shot, and if the story is true from the Policeman who said Zimmerman said he was the one screaming for help, throw that in as well. Add his violence toward a policeman, his wife, and maybe a young girl while he worked as a bouncer at house parties..don't know the veracity of the last one..they happened before the night of the killing. And what Prosecutor Corey comes up with may be more trouble for Zimmerman...we don't know what she may come up with. Tell you the truth, if I was Martin's parents I would have Trayvon's body exhumed, and do the forensics that should have been done from the very beginning. I'm going to add a sentence and it's only my idea: 13 years minimum with possibility of parole thereafter, every year until the 20th year, upon which he would be released after 20 years if Parole has not intervened. I would give Zimmerman a plea deal with the aforementioned sentence. I'm sure Martin's family would want a harsher penalty, and that is there right. What is good about this is it's time we all got our feet wet in our Justice System. Maybe we can make it better. Right now it's broke and will only get worse, if Public apathy continues to wax.
