The surveillance tape of George Zimmerman made barely half an hour after the shooting, obtained exclusively by ABC News from the Sanford Police Department, could be used as evidence, if Zimmerman is brought up on charges, sources tell ABC News.

Zimmerman's attorney would not comment on the tapes, which show his client walking into a police station with no visible signs of blood minutes after he shot and killed Trayvon Martin following what Zimmerman claims was a life-or-death struggle with the teen.

"I'm not going to litigate this case in the media," said attorney Craig Sonner. "It looks like it's a standard booking video of when they brought him in. I can't tell anything from this video."

But the tapes are relatively clear, coming as they do from recently installed state-of-the-art cameras. In the tapes an officer examines the back of Zimmerman's head. The 28-year-old Zimmerman claims the teen, who was walking back to his father's fiancé's home after picking up Skittles and an iced tea on Feb. 26, attacked him. Zimmerman told police that Martin punched him and bashed his head on the concrete. The police report notes there was blood on his head and that he was treated on the scene.

1. Zimmerman looks in really good shape

for someone who was just in a fist fight and had his head bashed into cement.

2. And his nose broken with a single punch from Trayvon that supposedly floored him.

4. And don't forget the broken nose.

As to the "trying the case in the media", Sharpton had a split screen up with this same guy on at least 4 different news programs, so one wonders why he keeps trying to weave the false tale?

5. And dpn't forget those pesky stains from rolling around on the wet grass with Trayvon on top of him!

3. First intelligent thing for the lawyer to do.

6. somebody needs to tweet that reporter at ABC...

...and point out the lack of gloves on the officers who supposedly are "examining" him.

9. Two words that come to mond on the Trayvon reporting in general are "sloppy" and "inconsistent"

The "journalists" also like to leave out that "self-appointed" part in front of "neighborhood watch captain."

If I were back in my college days, I'd be willing to bet that compiling all of the inconsistencies in the last month could add up to an "A-plus" term paper.

7. They already did on the Today Show (Matt Lauer)

8. Zimmerman has been lying about this from the first minute of his 911 call.

And hasn't stopped lying.

10. I am soooo glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this part:

"I'm not going to litigate this case in the media," said attorney Craig Sonner.
