Video Casts New Doubt on Zimmerman’s Self-Defense Claim 
----------------------------------------------------------



Newly released video from the night of Trayvon Martin's shooting is
further undermining the claims of Martin's shooter, George Zimmerman,
that he acted in self-defense. Surveillance video at the police station
where Zimmerman was briefly detained after the killing shows Zimmerman
had no blood or bruises on his body. Zimmerman has maintained he shot
Martin after Martin punched him in the nose, knocked him to the ground,
and slammed his head into the pavement.
