Trayvon Martin Autopsy Report Released; Family Slams "Strategic" Leaks in George Zimmerman Case
by Free Britney at .The attorney for Trayvon Martin's family claims there have been strategic leaks of records in the case intended to benefit defendant George Zimmerman.
Attorney Benjamin Crump said on Wednesday he wants "full transparency" in the case, and called for all the police files on the subject to be released.
After several news outlets were given access to a sealed medical examiner's report on Martin and a police report on Zimmerman, Crump was incensed.
"It was leaked for a beneficial purpose, certainly to help George Zimmerman's claim of self-defense," he said. "This report needs to be vetted with a keen eye."
"Look at this in the full context. George Zimmerman made the decision to get out of his car, profile Trayvon Martin, pursue Trayvon Martin and confront him."
According to NBC News, the autopsy on the slain 17-year-old says that Martin was killed by a single "penetrating gunshot wound to the chest" Feb. 26.
Meanwhile, medical records leaked to ABC News showed Zimmerman likely suffered a broken nose, black eyes and was bleeding from the back of head.
His lawyer, Mark O'Mara, said he may seek a dismissal of the second-degree murder charge against his client under Florida's "stand your ground" law.
Zimmerman pleaded not guilty last week and is free on bond.

What about Trayvon Martin?. Did'nt he have the rigth to defend himself under the Stand Your Ground Clause?.While a minor being stocked by an adult stranger,Wanna be cop who had him stereo-typed from the get go.Who also lived in the same housing complex. Why has Zimmermans witnesses all recanted now and stepped down.Perhaps because they dont want to get hung up in contempt of court and perjury as well, as Zimmermans wife has.
Truth,you are clearly a racist.One who believes they are better than others due to an insecurity they have but dont recognize about themselves.
Thank You Kelly. Yes,Zimmermans father was a Judge and that goes back to what I had said earier, that Zimmerman is a wanna be cop and his volunteering as a neighborhood watch person really went to his head,and his Dad being a former Judge he figured that he could literally get away with murder.His former co-worker also stated tha Zimmerman was a constant bully towards him at work and would always lie to the superviser knowing that he would be believed over the one he bullied.
Zimmerman states he had Martin on the ground and was on top of him, so how was Martin able to connect to he back of Zimmermans head to leave injuries. I think the police did it for him or he did it himself. Zimmerman was allowed to roam around the police station without handcuffs on and not even held or lead by police.See the video.
Stereo-typing. Who doesnt wear hoodies these days. Kids ,teenagers older folk, even the baggy style pants are in. Its people of all ages sexes and races. Why do we have to lable them as Thug Clothes to justify an unjustified killing of a BLACK TEENAGER WALKING TO HIS HOME IN A HOUSING COMPLEX WHERE ZIMMERMAN ALSO HAPPENED TO BE A RESIDENT. This throws up multiple red flags in my mind.Zimmerman must of been very alarmed at seeing Martins weapons of choice, An Arizona Iced Tea and a bag of Skittles to do a burglary with or some type of armed robbery.
