Florida teenager Trayvon Martin died from a single gunshot wound (click here) to the chest fired from “intermediate range,” according to an autopsy report reviewed Wednesday by NBC News.
The official report, prepared by the medical examiner in Volusia County, Fla., also found that the 17-year-old Martin had one other fresh injury – a small abrasion, no more than a quarter-inch in size – on his left ring finger below the knuckle....
Zimmerman should never be out on bail and this is one of the prime reasons. Zimmerman insists on fighting his case in the media. He and/or his attorney are doing their best to taint the jury pool.
I do not believe those injuries occurred the night Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. The video at the police station shows no broken nose, no facial bruises. Zimmerman after leaving the police station was more emboldened than ever and I believe he had another fight, making the abrasion at the back of head worse and providing facial bruising and a broken nose that didn't exist the night of his murderous rampage against an innocent African American Youth in Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman needs to be recalled before the judge to place him under custody to prevent any more exploitation of the media to taint the jury pool. The media has been mostly busy with out issues and that bothers Zimmerman. He is a man that wants to have control, no different than the control he zealously showed when gunning down Trayvon Martin. The leak is a deliberate act trying to exert control of his IMAGE and forcing his manipulated image onto the public to effect the outcome of his trial.
The media is also being biased. CNN Headline News only told the story of the report from the emergency room the next day and never told the reply by Trayvon Martin's parents. There is bias in the media for sensationalism in this case and it will effect the outcome is this is to continue with Mr. Zimmerman. Slapping him in the wrist and warning him to not do it again will not prevent him from continuing to seek attention to effect his trial. He needs to be in prison so the trial is fairly decided when the prosecution presents evidence to the jury.

The attorney (click here) representing Trayvon Martin's parents said Wednesday a medical report detailing injuries sustained by the man who said he shot Trayvon was leaked to bolster his claims of self-defense.

"It was leaked for a beneficial purpose," he said, "certainly to help George Zimmerman's claim of self-defense."
The medical report detailing George Zimmerman's injuries after he shot and killed Trayvon was first reported by ABC News on Tuesday.
