Court Records: George Zimmerman Had The Crap Beaten Out Of Him

Remember how the prosecutors conveniently and according to some, unethically, left out any mention of Zimmerman's injuries in their affidavit?

Well, the details are out now.

Court records show George Zimmerman had a pair of black eyes, a nose fracture and two cuts to the back of his head after the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

The medical records were part of evidence released Tuesday that prosecutors have in the second-degree murder case against Zimmerman. He has entered a plea of not guilty and claims self-defense in the Feb. 26 shooting. A message left Tuesday evening with Zimmerman's attorney was not immediately returned.

Now it turns out Martin had injuries consistent with hitting Zimmerman.

WFTV has learned that the medical examiner found two injuries on Martin’s body: The fatal gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles.

This shows that the state's charging document was woefully incomplete and how far beyond reality a second degree murder charge is. No wonder the Smiling Prosecutor didn't go to a grand jury.

No doubt the state will argue that those wounds are consistent with Martin acting in self-defense and that will be for a jury to decide, if the case makes it that far or if the judge tosses that case entirely.
