Bloody Broken Nose? No.
Bruises? Not evident.
Injuries to the Back of head? No

So, courtesy of ABC, this cop shop video doesn't show the injuries that George Zimmerman's lawyer is claiming for him. A broken nose would be expected to swell up pretty quickly, and there is no appaernt bruising, cuts or scrapes to the back of his head either. For someone is a fight for his life, he seems to be moving pretty comfortably as well after the experience. Presumably someone will be "leaking" the content of the paramedic report any time now. Privacy appears to be a fragile concept, too expendable, given the provision to the press of Trayvon Martin's school disciplinary record, trivial as it was. I'm sure that Zimmerman's medical records will equally become grist for the media mills. Too bad the police didn't think to have any blood on Zimmerman checked to see who it belonged to - Zimmerman or Martin - along with a test which is apparently usual in homicides or potential homicides of checking the shooter for alcohol and/or drugs. This is doubly of interest given the previous instance of violence and alcohol in Zimmerman's past, and that he had been ordered to alcohol rehab as a result of that encounter with getting physical with a cop. From ABC news which did a crap job on logo placement, and who will, one hopes, be providing a better, cleaned up versoin soon of this. video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player
