Medical Report Claims Zimmerman Had Injuries After Martin Killing 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
ABC News has obtained a medical report that claims Trayvon Martin
shooter George Zimmerman had injuries to his face and head a day after
he shot and killed the African-American teenager in Sanford, Florida.
The report shows Zimmerman was diagnosed with a “closed fracture” of
his nose, black eyes, two cuts on the back of his head and a minor back
injury. Zimmerman has insisted he shot Martin in self-defense, but
recordings of phone calls from the scene show Zimmerman pursued the
unarmed teenager in defiance of a dispatcher’s instructions. Zimmerman
was charged with second-degree murder and has been in hiding since
making bail last month.
