The real story is buried inside this one, and apparently no-one noticed, or no-one cares.

Yeah, by now everyone, well, everyone who is actually interested in the truth that is, has been sharing the Reuters news article about Neighbors confirming bandages on George Zimmerman’s nose and head on the day after the confrontation with Trayvon Martin. But that’s not the real story.
Sure, that angle is actually a righteous highlight toward exposing the insufferable manipulative “agenda” of the institutional legacy media types. After all it is most certainly true they invested themselves quite heavily in selling the “Zimmerman Wasn’t Injured” narrative. Even to the extent they needed to showcase fuzzy stolen police CCTV video on a 24/7 news cycle to prove beyond a reasonable doubt Zimmerman wasn’t physically hurt.

But wait, then whoopsie the actual police station released a more clear video and “voila'” injuries to the back of Zimmermans head became, well, um, obvious. So ABC News, the originator of the initial stolen footage, quietly lead the back-peddling parade, albeit with far less exposure in correction. I mean, really, what did we expect? An actual, visible ‘mea maxima culpa’ or something. C’mon, seriously, we know they don’t work that way, and if any reader really was expecting something like that, well, insert sales pitch for property in the swamps here.
But let’s cut to the chase. Here is the Reuters article about it, and disingenuously way at the bottom, in a rather hidden little paragraph, is a little snippet that I emphasized/highlighted just for, well, obvious reasons:

Reuters – The extent of Zimmerman’s injuries could be crucial to his legal defense under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law, which allows the use of deadly force when someone has the reasonable belief he could face death or great bodily harm.

Police said Zimmerman, who has been charged with second-degree murder in the racially charged case, was bleeding from the nose and the back of his head and was treated by medics before being taken to Sanford police station after the February 26 shooting.

But public doubts were later raised by the release of a grainy surveillance video from the police station in which no injuries were readily visible.

Zimmerman later sought medical treatment for injuries including a broken nose, his former lawyers have said.

Jorge Rodriguez, Zimmerman’s next-door neighbor, told Reuters that when he saw Zimmerman the day after the incident, “he had two big, butterfly bandages on the back of his head, and another big bandage…on the bridge of his nose.” He was talking to a police detective in his driveway.

Rodriguez’s wife Audria also said she saw the bandages and a third neighbor, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, agreed with the Rodriguez couple’s account. “I saw two bandages on the back of his head, and his nose was all swollen up,” said the witness, who had watched from a nearby second-floor window.

The neighbors spoke to Reuters on Sunday and Monday, saying they felt they owed him their public support after he was charged with second-degree murder.

Zimmerman, 28, was originally released after the shooting, when Sanford police accepted his claim of self-defense. He was arrested and charged by a special prosecutor last week after demonstrations around the country at which the police were accused of failing to properly investigate the death of the black 17-year-old.

Zimmerman, who had been in hiding since shortly after the shooting, turned himself in.

Witness accounts have supported Zimmerman’s story that there was some kind of fight between him and Martin. Martin was returning with candy from a convenience store to his father’s fiancée’s home in a gated community when Zimmerman spotted him and called to police to say the teen appeared suspicious.

Zimmerman’s father and brother have said he had his nose broken and feared for his life before taking out his licensed handgun and shooting Martin dead.

The neighbors said they spoke to Sanford police and the FBI in their investigations but did not recall speaking to the office of special prosecutor Angela Corey, who charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder.

Corey’s office and Sanford police declined to comment on the matter and Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara did not return calls for comment. (more)

Did you catch that…..

……they spoke to Sanford police and the FBI in their investigations but did not recall speaking to the office of special prosecutor Angela Corey, who charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder.

But everyone in the media is selling the narrative about how “thorough”, and “comprehensive” and “objective” the office of the appointed Special Prosecutor Angela Corey is right?   So comprehensive in their investigation prior to establishing the Probable Cause Affidavit, and arresting George Zimmerman, they didn’t even interview the neighbors or solicit evidence of injury.   Wow, a new Webster’s definition of “Objective”.
Huh, funny that.   Odd no?
Well, I guess it would only appear odd if you were actually holding on to the belief this special prosecutor was intent on seeking the truth; Or, perhaps even, *gasp*, really interested in evaluating the statements given by Mr. Zimmerman.
The only reason to avoid investigating corroborative evidence for Zimmerman’s injuries, and account of events, would be if you already had a pre-conceived narrative you were arranging the facts to support.   But, but, that wouldn’t be objective now would it.

I mean if you were just trying to “appear” impartial, while actually just following a predetermined script, you would probably have to invest some space of a three-page affidavit outlining the credentials for the investigators.   You know, investigators, those people who for some reason didn’t think it was of value to interview the neighbors about Mr. Zimmerman.   Those guys.

Yet no-one from the “Special Prosecutors Office” talked directly to the neighbors who would affirm Zimmerman’s injuries, or even his statement.    What gives?

Oh, I get it now, it’s called….
