Autopsy: Trayvon Martin had knuckle injuries. Zimmerman had a broken nose and other head injuries plus bruises on his body. How do you think Martin injured his knuckles?

I just don't know all the facts it does seem like trail be media. I just hope all the facts come out there is a mother and father without a child and a man that is potentially facing life in prison for murder.

I would have to say that he injured his knuckles by punching someone or something.

The fact remains is that zimmerman should have stopped following him when the dispatcher told him to stop. If he would have did that than we wouldn't be having this conversation about martin. end of story.

I think Trayvon was trying to beat Zimmerman to death, and Zimmerman defends himself. That's what I think. Zimmerman isn't guilty of murder. He was just following the law.

this theory seems to coincide with the reported facts. Zimmerman had been following Martin for some time, against the instructions of his superiors. Martin, tired of being profiled and stalked, asked what the problem was and Zimmerman kept disobeying his direct orders. A scuffle broke out and each of the combatants sustained the injuries described.
Yes- Zimmerman ended up with some cuts and scrapes. Not unusual for a scuffle. Martin, on the other hand, ended up dead.
Thus, in my humble opinion, Zimmerman needs to quit whining. He's still on the correct side of the dirt, as a friend of mine would say...

Protecting from a predator, Zimmerman...

More likely injured his knuckles in contact with Zimmerman's hard skull.

Martin beat the daylights out of Zimmerman thereby got knuckle injuries.

I agree, protecting himself from the man with the gun....

Witnesses seem to imply it went down quite differently. Martin did his little number BEFORE Zimmerman pulled out the gun in a prone position laying on the ground due to Martin's attack.

If he had done as he was told...This wouldn't even be an issue....

Depends on which witness you believe...

There's no doubt some blows were exchanged before Trayvon was shot and killed. Zimmerman had head injuries; Trayvon probably got some good hard knocks in.

Having said that, people need to shut the hell up about this. Whether or not Trayvon was acting upon self defense--or God forbid he actually instigated the attacking and Zimmerman was protecting himself--you only have one side of this story. There's always at least two sides to every story, and since one half of the story is a dead man, we don't know.

Us speculating only creates more hate and tension--and considering we have no idea who's telling the truth, what ALL the details are, what forensics has not told the press, etc etc, we are naive to think that we know everything about the case and that we are professionals in judgement.

Not Every Bully wins the fight! The instigator of the incident can't cry self defense. I REALLY don't think that Zimmerman's life was in danger. He couldn't take an ass whipping in a fight HE started!!! Self Defense..... REALLY???

Zimmie screwed up....that's why he has lawyers to defend him against a charge of murder.

He'll probably get off though

Don't be too sure... He has a number of hurdles to leap before that happens. A number of legal experts have already made the point that he did not have coverage under the SYG laws...and the District Attorney knew that and filed the charges.

I would have gone for manslaughter

That might have happened had the local DA not bailed out...more than likely took pressure from Zimmies daddy, or one of his buddies. The lead investigator for the Sanford PD knew he (Zimmie) screwed up and wanted him charged with manslaughter...but the local DA wimped out.

The DA that charged him is a real "ball buster"... brought the charges herself without a grand jury...

I'm surprised Zimmerman's lawyers haven't tried to plead out to that

Nah....they're going to ride this dog to the ground, billing by the hour!!

No money in pleading out....

true, they must feel good about an acquittal

Another advantage that Zimmerman has is the only person that can counter his story is dead! It will be hard to convict him without hearing the other side of the tale. His lawyers will surely prep him on how to answer the difficult questions.

No doubt....

Defending himself.

I think if some strange man were following me, I'd have bruised knuckles too.

And if that strange man had a gun, he could legally murder you in the state of florida.

I don't agree with the law, but you can't put him in prison for following it.

I would hardly be a threat to his life. He instigated this.

Really how. Ih wait he's carrying. Or is it he is part of the neighborhood watch. Thus it being his duty to patrol.

How did he instigate it? He was specifically told to quit following him, he chose not to.

First I never commented on who started it. Second I was pointing out the race issue in the case. White man kill black man. Gets called racist. Black man kills a white man and he isn't racist?

Zimmerman is a white man??

And I'm sorry, so your saying if Martin was a white kid, or even a white female in a hoody Zimmerman would still have followed him, even after being told not to?

Oh, and btw, I didn't mention race, at all. YOU DID.

I was stating a simple fact. But since you cannot handle logic I will have to quit responding to this conversation.

That's funny. Can't counter my issues, so you leave. Fine with me. Have a fantastic day.

first i have countered all of your arguments with logic. but you ignored it. second i only stated facts around the case. this case is electrified with race issues. third I'm only leaving because your grammar is giving me a headache. even though it is correct i have been typing Russian a lot lately and it is odd to switch.

LOL. Pointing out the race issue is hardly countering all of my arguments with logic. And I can honestly say this is the first time somebody has complained of my grammar because it is good.

ive been writing in Russian for a while so the transition to english is hard. lol english is my first lang.

Neighborhood watch are not supposed to carry weapons. If you knew the whole story you would be thinking differently!
