ABC's Matt Gutman said the network re-digitized the video to reveal what appears to be "a pair of gashes or welts" on the back of Zimmerman's head. This discovery is more consistent with Zimmerman's account of what happened the night of Feb. 26. According to a police report first described by the Orlando Sentinel, Zimmerman told investigators that Martin jumped him from behind, punched him in the nose and pounded his head into the sidewalk. |
I don't know, there is some things that work against that. First, they say "they appear to be gashes or welts" but we don't know that for sure, but like I was saying, there are some things that work against that. For one, the funeral director said that Trayvon's body showed no signs of a physical fight.
However, if there was a physical altercation, some things about that...for one, Zimmerman changed his account on that. One account he gave, he said he followed the teen, lost the teen, and then went to check the street he was on, and then was jumped from behind and beat by Trayvon. Then, in a different account, Zimmerman said that he followed the teen, lost the teen, and then the teen jumped out in front of him and asked "Do you have a problem?" and Zimmerman says he said "No." and then he says that Trayvon said "Well you do now" and then attacked him. Zimmerman, which account is it?
However, neither account is true if we look at what Trayvon's girlfriend says:

Quote:
Trayvon’s 16-year-old girlfriend, who is only being identified as DeeDee, recounted the final moments of her conversation with Trayvon before the line went dead.
DeeDee told ABC News:
"When he saw the man behind him again he said this man is going to do something to him. And then he said this man is still behind him and I said run."
Phone records have shown that DeeDee called Trayvon at 7:12 p.m., five minutes before police arrived, and remained on the phone with Martin until moments before he was shot.
DeeDee said Martin turned around and asked Zimmerman why he was following him. "The man said what are you doing around here?" DeeDee recalled Zimmerman saying.
DeeDee said she heard someone pushed into the grass before the call was dropped.

Now, Zimmerman has already lied a number of times about things involving this incident. On top of this, Zimmerman said that in the altercation, he was screaming for help and pleading and that Trayvon wasn't, yet 2 experts have confirmed that the one screaming for help and pleading in the 911 call is not Zimmerman, so thus, it was Trayvon. That is just one more lie out of several from Zimmerman involving this incident. So who do you believe, Zimmerman and his account of being attacked by Trayvon out of the blue, or Trayvon's girlfriend and her account of what she heard on the phone. I believe Trayvon's girlfriend. And Trayvon was crying for help and pleading for his life shortly before he was shot. Did Zimmerman shoot because he was in great danger? Or did he shoot Trayvon when he had the upperhand? Eyewitnesses said the teen was shot shortly after crying for help and pleading for his life. Doesn't sound like Trayvon had the upper hand right before being shot.
When you start looking at different things like that, looking at what "appear to be" welts on the back of Zimmerman's head during one part of the video doesn't do much for some of us. We don't know for sure if those are welts on the back of Zimmerman's head, but we do know that he is a liar. We know that he followed and stalked the teen when he was told not to. We know that Trayvon was pleading for his life shortly before being shot. We know that Zimmerman should have been arrested and should have been scheduled for a trial before this became a huge national story.
Edit: I'm really baffled about that still shot showing the supposed welt on Zimmerman's head. If you watch that video, you don't see such a stand-out mark on Zimmerman's head at any part of the video that shows that part of Zimmerman's head. It is like they took a still image from the video, enhanced the video, and then digitally enhanced the part of his head that looks like a welt, but
highlighted it with different colored pixels, but when people see it, they think "Oh wow, there is a big welt there!". Like Dhomochevsky said, we don't need abcnews scoping out the video or the media trying to piece together things. We just need Zimmerman on trial and the experts trying to figure out what happened that day (to the best they can).
