First Pics Of The RELEASED George Zimmerman

Apr 23 | by _YBF

Under the watchful eye of police, and tons of waiting press, George Zimmerman was released from a Florida jail very late last night. After he posted $150K bond, whhich was set last week, George was allowed to "go free" as he awaits the start of the Trayvon Martin trial. Deets inside....

Last night, George Zimmerman walked out of Seminole County Jail after posting $150K bond. Though he is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting deatch of Trayvon Martin, the judge, Kenneth Lester, determined he was not a flight risk since the whole world is watching his every move.

George's father indicated that he might have to take out a second mortage to pay for the bond. And after posting payment, George was met at the door by a friend who drove him away in a white BMW.

At his bail hearing last week, George apologized, as soon as he was sworn in, to Trayvon's parents saying, ‘I am sorry for the loss of your son… I did not know if he was armed or not. I did not know how old he was. I thought he was a little bit older than I was.'

But the prosecution got a few digs in during the hearing as they asked George why he waited so long to contact Trayvon's parents. He said, ‘I was told not to communicate.' Interesting that he would use the witness stand to "communicate" when the whole world is conveniently watching and he was only supposed to be up there to answer questions. Not sneak in a sympathy seeking "apology."

Here are the terms of his bond:

He cannot have any firearms, drink alcohol or use drugs and must observe a curfew.
He will also have a GPS monitoring device.

In terms of new evidence (sensitive pic below),

A new photo released by ABC NEWS shows blood trickling from the crown of George's head and a police report from the night of February 26 also noted that he was bleeding from his nose.

But remember, George was not sent to the hospital, nor did he receive stitches. And it hasn't been determined exactly how these injuries were sustained.

Did old boy ever identify

Did old boy ever identify himself as neighborhood watch to Trayvon ? I feel that he isn't going to jail , they are going to drag it out and eventually and sadly people are going to loose interest and sf ocus on the next twitter, facebook, instagram, flickr, whatever topic....zip was hoping this sparked a flame that lights the fire but I dont see it....

The fact that Zimmerman was

The fact that Zimmerman was allowed bail means nothing. Had the DA not believed there was a possibility of conviction and that a crime had indeed been committed, Zimmerman would have never been arrested. Now we have to watch the legal system work and see how this will play out in a trial. And the TRIAL was what the family wanted. The trial is what Trayvon's parents protested for. Now we will have a trial instead of having one on-scene police officer play judge and jury. Zimmerman posting bail does not mean this case is over. It just means he will be home until the trial begins.

Personally, I think Trayvon's

Personally, I think Trayvon's mother needs to keep quiet. Zimmerman apologized in court the other day and said "he didn't know how old Trayvon was..." as if that is supposed to excuse what he did. The only reason he said that is because when Trayvon's mom was asked on tv what she would say to Zimmerman if she could, she said she would ask him if he knew Trayvon was a minor. So, it's almost as if she opening an opportunity for Zimmerman to gain sympathy from the public She also said but then corrected that she thought the incident was an accident. I think she is hurting her own case and her lawyer needs to put her in check if he hasn't already. I know its' hard for her and she's emotional, but that's even more reason why she needs to keep quiet.

I think there has been a rush

I think there has been a rush to judgment in this case without having all the facts. And this case will be very hard to prove in court. I don't think it's going to be easy to establish beyond a shadow of a doubt how these two met meaning how the confrontation started and to define how Zimmerman felt. The community that this took place in had a lot of crimes. To call the police because someone looks suspicious is not a crime no matter how people may feel about it. And the GUN laws in Florida do allow you to use deadly force if you "feel" your life is in danger. The law is really in Zimmerman's side. 2nd Degree murder will be very hard to win a conviction on. Manslaughter is more realistic but still will be very hard to prove because the only other person who was really there is dead. I do think Sanford Police could have investigated this more but the issue was if the charge could be proven. And leaving Trayvon's body in the morgue for 3 days unidentified is unacceptable but I want to hear all the facts. People should not be surprised if Zimmerman gets off. But I want to hear all the facts before I rush to any judgment. This type of thing happens all the time. I don't know why the media has latched on to this case so much. I think if it does not go the way some people want a riot may break out and that will solve nothing. People need to be prepared for Zimmerman to not be found guilty. Not to say that makes him innocent but the GUN Law in Florida will be very hard to beat.

I think it's extremely

I think it's extremely dangerous to develop an attitude of complacency...the law is what is is so oh well. Zimmerman might get off so oh well. In the Jim Crow era, it was perfectly legal to make black people sit at the back of the bus and use separate entrances from whites. Just because it was legal doesn't mean it was right. Civil rights protesters had to be galvanized by several atrocities that occurred and subsequently organized to affect change. That is exactly what it happening in the Trayvon Martin case and THAT is why this case is so important. It has shined a spotlight on dangerous laws like Stand Your Ground that potentially victimize minorities. People around the country (both black and white) have organized and protested for justice and to have these types of laws taken off the books. THAT is why the media has latched on to this case. It's now bigger than Trayvon.

@ Diva You raise some very

@ Diva You raise some very valid points about the Civil Rights Era. And yes people should be more aware of the NRA and Laws like "Stand Your Own Ground." But this is a legal matter that will be next to impossible to stand against because the law says that Zimmerman can use his own judgement and decide if his life is in danger he can use deadly force. This is exactly why we are seeing these photos of his bloody head. Zimmerman's defense will be a strong one. And since the only two people there when this confrontation started it will be very hard to prove beyond a doubt how these two met and who attacked whom first. Did Trayvon after being tired of being stalked by Zimmerman attack Zimmerman and in that attack did Zimmerman feel his life was in danger? The law supports him using deadly force "IF" he was attacked first. All I'm speaking about is how the law is constructed. My personal view is that Trayvon was stalked and murdered but having that feeling and proving that in court are two different things. I just don't want people to think "Justice" will happen in this case. I hope it does but I also know that the LAW is on Zimmerman's side because of this law which allows people the same freedom to "defend" themselves if they "feel" their life is in danger....That is why Zimmerman is saying he did not know Trayvon was a Teen or if he was armed. I'm very proud of the Martin family and how they did use protest and the media to get Zimmerman arrested but an arrest and a conviction are two different things. The media's involvement in this case is highly questionable because there is a Trayvon Martin in almost every state the only difference here is this "Stand Your Own Ground law." I mean in some states the Police kill boys like Trayvon and they get away with it each and every time. The law is against young black males and is constructed to keep them locked up and beaten down. It's so much bigger than many know. The stop and frisk laws in NYC are a perfect example of inequality in the eyes of the laws because people of color are the ones locked up for the same crimes whites are not locked up for. I agree we should remain vigilant but also not shocked if Zimmerman walks scott free. And we also must not RIOT if that happens. That is exactly what they are expecting and I think this is also why the media is hyping this up knowing full well how this CAN potentially go. Don't trust the media. They are not interested in Justice for Trayvon.

@Furious Styles -- I've

@Furious Styles -- I've always suspected, but until now, I hadn't realized that you were a white man pretending to be an adolescent black girl - HAVE YOU NO SHAME, SIR..!! And regarding the senseless, racist, cold-blooded murder of young 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by blood-thirsty, gunman George Zimmerman: we have ALL the facts we need (1.) Zimmerman profiled 17-year-old Trayvon when he first saw him. (2.) And ARMED Zimmerman then began to follow Trayvon, though told by 911-dispatch "we don't need you to do that!". (3.) Zimmerman lost, then kept looking for Trayvon, this was when he could be heard on the 911 call: "fucking assholes, they always get away..fucking coons," but he then regained sight of young Trayvon. (4.) Trayvon was on the phone, at the very same time, with HIS GF, and her statement contradicts all that was said by the Zimmerman who changed HIS story. The GF couldn't have changed, or edited her story to "make Trayvon look good" because the 911 tapes came out AFTER she gave her statement to Law Enforcement. (5.) They were witnesses who saw a chase; why would Travon chase after Zimmerman? If any, it was Zimmerman who chased young, scared Trayvon. (6.) Zimmerman claims Trayvon put his hands over his mouth and throat. Where then are ALL the supposed offensive wounds on Travon's hands? If, as Zimmerman claims, Trayvon had pummeled him for nearly a minute, where's the marks, bruises, cuts, scrapes on Trayvon's hands? It's just like the investigator, who took the stand said - there's more evidence which'll show Zimmerman's telling of the events couldn't have happened, after all, the evidence contradicts his telling of the happenings of/from that night.

@ X,Y,"and Z" 11:39 am LMAO@ U I'm not a man. You are a man and you act more like a female than me! Let me school you on the facts. It is not against the law to profile a person. OK? That community had an issue with crime and Zimmerman was on watch. Any person can all about a person being "suspicious". And Zimmerman can carry and conceal a weapon in FLORIDA. That is also not against the law. The girlfriend can't testify in court about what she and Trayvon spoke about because it's considered hearsay because Trayvon is not alive to confirm what they spoke about unless she recorded that conversation. The use of slurs is nonsense....people hear what they want to hear. And witnesses are on both sides so that is what it is. Zimmerman has them as well. All I'm talking aboit are the FACTS of the case. I never said that I'm on Zimmerman's side. I'm saying it will be very hard to win a conviction on 2nd degree murder which it will be. And X, Y AND CRAZY stop pretending like you know things that were not released. That is left for COURT to look at how Trayvon's body was left. There may be compelling evidence there in favor of Trayvon but the bottom line is who attacked whom FIRST. Unless there is a Witness or VIDEO that saw Zimmerman attack Trayvon first the Stand Your Ground Defense will hold. All Zimmerman has to prove is that he felt his life was in DANGER and he can use DEADLY FORCE. So stop being so emotional. This case will be decided on how the confrontation started and since Zimmerman is the only person ALIVE and present when that happened things are in his FAVOR. Just the fact of the case. I personally think Zimmerman is responsible but my personal feelings and those that can be proven in Court are different matters. Just don't be shocked if he walks FREE.

@Furious styles re: 11:53 am

@Furious styles re: 11:53 am -- The GF CAN indeed testify. This case will function off "circumstantial" evidence and thus her statement is part of said circumstance! Did Trayvon's call end abruptly, as his own phone/ phone log, AND her statement to cops will show? YES! And why is this then important? If Trayvon then began to follow and attack Zimmerman, then why wouldn't he secure his phone just before attacking him? If Trayvon then attacked Zimmerman, and as Zimmerman said, he then began to pummel him about his face for up to a minute, in the process breaking his nose and causing bruising and facial contusions, then where are the offensive wounds on Trayvon's hands? If Trayvon had one hand on Zimmerman's mouth, then trying to muffle him, and other on this face/throat, hadn't Zimmerman then tried to bite Trayvon? Where are the wounds on Trayvon's hands? Why would Trayvon, only 70 feet and within sight of HIS home, then turn and attack Zimmerman? X,Y,"and Z"

X Y AND CRAZY. I highly doubt

X Y AND CRAZY. I highly doubt the girlfriends will be allowed testify I'm pretty sure that is considered HEARSAY and if she does testify (which I highly doubt) people will treat her testimony with extreme skepticism because of her relationship with Trayvon. And sorry the phone logs will not convict Zimmerman. The only thing that will convict Zimmerman....maybe will be the forensic evidence on Trayvon's body if some of the things you mentioned are true. And maybe if they have video of the actual fight and they can clearly see who started it. But Zimmerman may WALK just get ready for that. You asking why Taryvon would attack Zimmerman are valid questions but maybe you've been asleep all these years....people always trash the VICTIM. They will try and paint Trayvon as some criminal type. They will bring up his suspension, the fact he had a burglary tool in the past (at school) the whole nine yards. And there is a possibility this may not even go to a jury and may be seen by a Judge. Anything can happen. You're too emotional. Just be prepared and you're just the CRAZY type to want to riot if you don't get the result you want and that is dangerous. I hope the Martin Family gets justice but I also know Justice in places like FLORIDA don't always happen. Look at Casey Anthony for example?

@Furious Styles re: 12:33 pm

@Furious Styles re: 12:33 pm -- The 911 tapes came out AFTER she gave her statement to law enforcement - not before; so she couldn't taylor it to make Trayvon look good. And she's the only one who can literally "speak" for Trayvon! Her accounts of that tragic evening closely follows the 911 call: when Trayvon first noticed Zimmerman. When did Zimmerman lose Trayvon, and when did he again find him to continue his pursuit/stalking. It's NOT "hearsay" if what is say can be substantiated! But even you "the skeptic" must concede: Zimmerman initiated the pursuit and stalked Trayvon. When Zimmerman thought he lost him, he THEN could be heard saying: "Fucking Assholes, they ALWAYS get away.. Fucking coons!" Zimmerman continued to look for Trayvon till he again found him, and then continued stalking him. And where are the "offensive woulds" on Trayvon's hands? Didn't Trayvon punch Zimmerman in the face for up to 1-Minute? Didn't, according to Zimmerman, Trayvon had one of his hands on Zimmerman's mouth, and the other on his face/throat/head? So you mean to tell me that Zimmerman, who was supposedly fighting for HIS life, didn't try to bite Trayvon? Where are these many "offensive wounds" on Trayvon's hands, or person? Can't you see the..confluence of events: who (1.) Initiated the pursuit (2.) Who lost sight of, but continued to search for, found, then continued his stalking (3.) Who can be see chasing, though as shadows, another person (4.) Who (young Trayvon) can be heard screaming for help - then a shot rings out, then there's deadly silence? All the aforementioned can EASILY be determined - without the use of eyewitnesses. George Zimmerman pursued, stalked, lost, then again found and continued his stalking and pursuit of 17-y/o Trayvon Martin - Zimmerman then shot and killed young, 17-y/o Trayvon Martin. X,Y,"and Z"

What I find interesting is,

What I find interesting is, look at the blood flow on the left side of Zimmerman's head. In order for blood to flow in that manner the cut would need to be in a horizontal position. Now picture Zimmerman's head being bash on the edge of the concrete, that would create a horizontal cut. The cut on the right side is in a vertical position. Now picture this, Trayvon would have to physically pick up this man, re-position his body to create a horizontal cut. The blood pattern for each cut does not make any sense.

You think if Travon would have done something to this man that he wouldnt be screaming from the high hills "he hit me first! He kicked me in the head" Of course he would have. Please understand that young black men are HARASSED, ASSUALTED and KILLED in america every single day. dont let the media have you think its always gang related, or drug related or some mess like that.

You need to pay attention and stop being so emotional. Zimmerman was part of The Neighborhood Watch and Called the Police about Trayvon. Yes, he was stalking him but in the eyes of the law that is not a crime. In Florida if you rear up to confront somene you can be shot DEAD. That is the LAW. Stand Your Ground.

Innocent…I think not. A 17

Innocent…I think not. A 17 year old boy is dead due to the actions of George Zimmerman and no one else. Zimmerman would not have those “head injures” and Trayvon would not be dead had Zimmerman just stayed in his car when told to by 911. The media can continue to show all of these pictures of the back of George Zimmerman’s head but that does not change the fact that his actions caused the death of a 17 year old boy.
