Lets talk about this whole "laceration" thing. Since we are now using medical terminology I get to be the expert on lacerations. Here are a couple of points to consider:
1. The scalp is one of the most vascular parts of the body. The wounds that appear on the back of Zimmerman show very little blood and are extremely minor. Given the amount of adrenaline he was pumping through his body and how high his pulse and BP would have been any serious head wound would have resulted in a lot of blood loss.
2. Any serious amount of banging head against the ground would have led to coup and contra-coup injuries of the brain and would have resulted directly into a concussion. Had Zimmerman actually had a concussion then his memory surrounding events would have been impaired and he would not have been able to participate in a lie detector test.
3. The pictures of his eyes fail to demonstrate any sort of facial swelling. Minutes after injury occur, serious flesh damage would have resulted in edema in inflammed areas.
Conclusion: Zimmerman's injuries are minor at worst.
Opinion: It is easy to survive a fight. It is really hard to survive a bullet to the heart.
2nd opinion: Zimmerman should have just taken his ass whooping like a man. Trayvon would still be alive and he would not be in the terrible situation he is in.

1. Wounds were attended to by paramedics before picture was taken.
Paramedics testimony..
Paramedic went to the police car to treat Zimmerman. He asked the officer to let him swing out so he could evaluate him. The officer complied. He had cuts and abrasions on his face. His nose looked like it had some damage. He had a cut on the back of his head. He said that they basically just cleaned him up. He said Zimmerman was pretty silent, and didn’t say anything about how the injuries happened. (4:30) He said nobody asked Zimmerman how he got the injuries.
No statements made by Zimmerman. They cleaned him up and checked him over. They told the cops he’s going to need to go to the hospital to get some stitches. The paramedic asked police if they wanted them to take him to the hospital and the cops said they would take him.
He had a laceration to the back of the head–an inch by a half inch wide. It was straight up and down on the back of his head.
Zimmerman was in handcufs the whole time. Zimmerman had blood on his arms and hands, so they just cleaned him off.
2. Scalp needed stitches according to paramedic. Just how much head banging on concrete is allowed before you think your allowed to think to defend yourself?
Fla law states if your in fear for your life lethal force is allowed. If someone is on top of me banging my head on concrete I will defend myself with lethal force.
3. How many fights have you been in? From the sounds of it I guess little to none. I fought full contact karate for 4 years 2-3 times a week, most of my bruises were not visible till the next day.
Pictures of Zimmerman's face 2 days later were a lot more brushed or do you think like Jeff he made his own injuries..
I can't help but question what you guys would say if it was T.Martin on the ground and he shot Zimmerman who was straddling him banging Martins head on the concrete ....
Bet it would still be Martin was the victim.........
