A medical report compiled by the family physician of Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman and obtained exclusively by ABC News found that Zimmerman was diagnosed with a "closed fracture" of his nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head and a minor back injury the day after he fatally shot Martin during an alleged altercation.

Zimmerman faces a second degree murder charge for the Feb. 26 shooting that left the unarmed 17-year-old high school junior dead. Zimmerman has claimed self defense in what he described as a life and death struggle that Martin initiated by accosting him, punching him in the face, then repeatedly bashing his head into the pavement.

Also today, a trove of documents are being examined by lawyers for both the defense and prosecution as part of discovery in Zimmerman's trial -- including 67 CDs worth of documents, video of Martin on the night of the shooting, his autopsy report and videos of Zimmerman's questioning by police.

1. Whatever. I only trust medical reports from people who weren't involved in the case in anyway.

Like bloggers.

(That is a joke.)

physician?

13. Family physician does not indicate

that the physician is part of his family. it's the physician who treats him and his family.

12. I think he got in his cell and thought: "Shit, what am I gonna' do"

"...Wait a minute!!"
Bangs head on cell bars, punches his face with fist/arm/knee.
Does whatever he can to look like he was the poor victim.

10. The on the scene emt didn't think he was injured enough to transport for examination...they

sent the extra ambulance back before it got there.
