New video tapes disclosed by ABC News show George Zimmerman, the killer of Trayvon Martin, in police custody minutes after the shooting. Zimmerman's lawyer has maintained that 17-year old Martin was the aggressor, and that Zimmerman shot him in self defense, after being severely beaten by Martin and having his nose broken. The video shows a different story. Zimmerman appears unmarked, except for a scab on the crown of his head. There is no visible bruising or swelling that would indicate a broken nose, or the aftermath of a "severe beating." It's worth noting that Zimmerman out-weighed Martin by about 100 pounds. Watch the video at the above link, and who do you believe: Zimmerman and Co. or your lying eyes?
The more details emerge about this case, the more it reeks of either police incompetence or coverup, not to mention some apparent lying from the Zimmerman camp. That's why a thorough investigation needs to be conducted by state and Federal authorities, and why prosecution of the guilty needs to proceed.
