George Zimmerman had been training in MMA in the weeks before Trayvon Martin shootingAs testimony continues in the trial of George Zimmerman, a physician's assistant, who treated him for his injuries after the shooting, revealed that George Zimmerman, had been training regularly in MMA. CFNews13 had a summary of her court testimony:
Folgate said she had treated Zimmerman for previous injuries before. She first encountered him in August 2011, and Zimmerman indicated that he had "difficulty with falling asleep and exercising with MMA, but that has not helped."
She said she also treated Zimmerman in September 2011, and at that time he indicated he was involoved in mixed martial arts three days a week.

...on Trayvons ring finger.
There IS some of Zimmermans blood on Zimmermans gun though.
The places where Trayvon SHOULD have blood is not there

...rather than smash his face up. If we were both brought into court and the person who attacked me was cut up or had a broken nose, the judge might conclude that I was actually the aggressor.
