I see a couple of myths from Zimmerman defenders repeated all over the place.
1.) Zimmerman did not have "every right" to follow Martin because he followed him across private property.
2.) Zimmerman clearly lied about the extent of the fight. His injuries were pathetically minor. There's zero chance repeated concrete strikes would cause only a 2 cm and 0.5 cm cut. There was also no DNA on the concrete at all. Moreover there's no chance Martin landed over a dozen bare-knuckle blows as there would be more damage to his knuckles and Zimmerman's head.
3.) A medical doctor never diagnosed Zimmerman with a broken nose. He declined to go to the hospital that night and when he saw his physician he simply told them he had a broken nose. When that doctor gave him a referral to a specialist he declined.
