Officer's Cellphone Pics Show Zimmerman May NOT Have Been Punched the Night he Killed Trayvon

Look closely at George Zimmerman's nose picture, that was taken from Officer Wagner's cell phone before EMS cleaned him up and you'll find there is no blood at all coming from Zimmerman's nostrils. Yet, Zimmerman told Detectives that Martin punched him in the nose so hard that he "fell to the ground when he punched me the first time" and that he was "punched in the nose 25 to 30 times." Looking at the nose picture, with no blood at all coming from the nostrils, it is easy to figure out why Detective Sereno told Zimmerman "the 25 to 30 punches" he claimed he took from Trayvon Martin "were not consistent with Zimmerman's injuries."
(George Zimmerman nose picture taken by Officer Wagner before EMT cleaned him)

I think it's pretty clear that the only part of Zimmerman's nose that is bleeding is the very tip of his nose. And when you compare the nose picture Officer Wagner took with the picture the Sanford Police Department took about 45 minutes after Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, you can see two pinholes on the tip of Zimmerman's nose which is exactly the location of the bleeding Officer Wagner's picture shows. Another interesting feature between the two pictures is that there is no more swelling on the right-side bridge of Zimmerman's nose 45 minutes after Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman told detectives he was "punched in the nose and face about 25 to 30 times." If that really happened, wouldn't Trayvon's fist be covered with Zimmerman's blood and wouldn't that blood on Trayvon's fist transfer to Zimmerman's face at every punch? But look at that picture Officer Wagner took before EMS cleaned him up, there is no transfer of blood from Trayvon's fist to Zimmermans face, anywhere! There is only blood on the tip of his nose and the width of the blood on his lips are the same width as the blood coming from the tip of his nose.

The Autopsy report of Trayvon Martin did not mention any blood or dirt on Martin's fists. The Autopsy also states that none of Zimmerman's DNA is under Martin's nails which dispels Zimmerman's claim that Trayvon Martin grabbed his bald head with such a tight grip that he slammed Zimmerman's head onto the sidewalk over a dozen times.

But according to what the funeral director said, Trayvon on had one tiny scratch on one finger, no bruised or cut knuckles.

11. The expression is oddly specific. Was he keeping a rough count as his face was smashed in

and he was in danger of being killed. Had he said "dozens of times", I wouldn't have a problem with the statement. But as it stands, it doesn't ring true.

2. I wonder if he got hit in the face

With his gun. Trayvon would of had blood and DNA from his killer on him if he was fighting, but yet there was none.

4. If he'd been punched that many times around the nose and face he'd be dead.

I think he slammed his head in a doorframe to get some sympathetic looking injuries, myself.

Look at the video of that asshole Zimmerman walking into the police station. That dipshit wasn't hurt at all.

These just keep coming out. Both he and his lawyers have dug him a very deep hole.

It's a weird proposition, but worth giving it a shot.
