1. Well, to be factual, you can't see scratches in that quality of video.

But it doesn't look like he's bloody, doesn't have bandages, and there's not blood dripping from his nose.

No need to exaggerate. The cold, hard facts seem to state what's what in this case.

That isn't bleeding, a "cut that required stitched" on the back of the head with no blood, no visible marks or bandage. No visible damage at all. = BULLSHIT

your head that cut will bleed like a stuck pig. Depending upon how big the cut is it may need stitches. I don't think that the video supports either Zimmerman's story on the police report.

Zimmerman claimed that the boy sat on him, slamming his head in the ground several times and broke his nose. It was raining that night and I didn't see any mud or grass stains on Zimmerman's clothes. His clothing looked far to pristine.

You would have traces of blood on your neck, CLOTHING. You'd begin to have telltale black eyes from the punch to the schnozz.
The cop in the station is searching Zimmerman without gloves of ANY type, police style frisk gloves or medical latex gloves!

No blood anywhere.

Zimmerman not having any medical attention is very suspect. Make up lies later, and no record.

Every word of Zimmerman's story must be scrutinized. And, I think it no is. Even if it is a hand picked replacement.
