New documents shed light on Trayvon Martin killing
New documents released today shed light on just what might have happened when George Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin, 17, in Sanford Florida earlier this year.
An autopsy report revealed traces of the drug THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, in Martin's blood at the time of his death - fueling more controversy in the already heavily debated circumstances of the killing.
Meanwhile, three police reports chronicled Zimmerman's injuries, officer's first impressions of the crime scene and claims that he was assaulted in the moments before shooting Martin dead. An EMS report and a lab report were made public describing injuries Zimmerman sustained during the melee.
Also released was an FBI analysis of the controversial 911 call, which caused speculation around the country about Zimmerman's potential use of a racial epithet to described the teen in the hooded sweatshirt.
Zimmerman has plead not guilty in the case, maintaining he shot Martin in self-defense during his shift on a neighborhood watch.
Bond for Zimmerman was originally set at $150,000 on April 20. Zimmerman's bond was revoked on June 1 and he was ordered to return to jail when a judge determined Zimmerman lied about his personal finances. A new bail hearing is sceduled for June 29.

Why are resources being wasted on reporting this on a day by day basis? I know there are many more important stories out there that require coverage of this caliber.
the SAME reason ALL news agencys report this DAILY.
because it sells. draws viewers, MAKES MONEY FOR THE VARIOUS NEWS & MEDIA OUTLETS.
the NEWS in all of World, is just a BUSINESS, like everything else.
they report the NEWS that makes them the most MONEY !!
not all the news that is maybe important to the World in general, but many people dont care about or understand.
When you become jester Turner and jackel Turner, then you can call all the shots! 😉
Anybody test Zimmerman for drugs?
The cops, where were actually on the scene made the right call. But were second guessed by a racist president who forced a deeper investigation out of his racism.
Zimmerman did take a test for drugs, he identified all of them correctly.
So Obama's would be son who was stalking about a gated community at night wearing a hoodie turns out to be a pothead... Wow, how surprising... Not...
I seen a guy drive past my place with an excessivley loud broken muffler, that never seems to get pulled over and get cited. But if I'm seen driving this way, I get cited.
So because this is witnessing someone that something less than a model citizen, mean they should be executed?
One shot isn't always fatal. But, as we all know, dead men tell no tales.
get off me homes BLAM
Cudos CNN and racist Obama for trying to defend and glorify the pot headed druggy... Makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside...
@RalfN Pres.Obama didn't defend him and the kid had some pot,that's a pothead?,Big deal,are you an alterboy or one that chases one.I bet you chasing someone makes you fuzzy alright.I used to ralf too after drinking shots of whiskey all night,original name,change it,it sucks!!!NEXT!!!LMAO!!
@Bo: so you beat your wife? Makes about as much sense as your assumptions about Pete.
The POTUS's Mother is white, his Father is black. Which race is he railing against, Ralf?
If Zimmerman was so hurt the night he had the confrontation, why didn't he go to the hospital? Maybe he was high or drinking. He must not been too hurt, and he could have had someone break his nose after the fact?
Mr Zimmerman your life is done. If you go to prison, some will applaude you, others will be in you. If you are acquited, one day the leopard of life, of justice will pounce, you will have no where to escape, you will then meet your destiny.
End of your life.
Nah, he'll probably shoot them too. And justifably so.
CNN Draw me a picture. Clearly note the location of zimmermans front door, and the location of the body and blood. The distance between the two clearly depicts a kid who got chased and shot and killed. Not a would be attacker being shot via stand your ground. Stand your ground says your standing up to threatening force not chasing down and killing kids because they are black.
Draw this picture to scale or better yet use the plans for the community. Until you can prove he didn't chase down and murder martin none of the other bs your putting up here makes any difference. Martin was covered understand your ground if zimmerman pursued him. So far nothing I have heard has said otherwise.
So what if he was stoned.
So what if zimmerman got hit in the head if he was chasing kids around he deserved it and more.
Show the exact distance between his door and the body and what happened becomes clear.
Haha, man you make me laugh. This kid didnt look like a kid, no 17 yr old looks like a kid i looked 22 when i was 16 lol bought beer all the time without getting carded haha.
All details for the trial. A jury will hear it all so there will be no doubt, or plenty of doubt.
now cnn is moderating posts? Boy they really are trying to hush this up and paint martin guilty. Zimmermans family must be well connected.
I love how everyone keeps calling someone who smokes marijuana a "druggie." That really shouldn't have anything to do with the case, you can function just fine with weed in your system. Geez... I wish people wouldn't be so close minded when it comes to that.
But my opinion about this case- why has this certain case become such a huge deal? I don't get it.
Well it is against the law to be inebriated in public. I assume it is against the law to be high in public also.
Because of Race... At first it was a white killing a black ... then a hispanic killing a black ... now a white hispanic killing a black. This case is hilarious to me. i just see this case as a man killed a teen ... not a "kid" ... A TEEN
When the two phony audio experts stated they were positive it was not Zimmerman screaming for help, it was headline news on CNN. When the FBI report from real experts comes out completely inconclusive it is buried in a link. Disgraceful biased reporting continues at CNN.
I think race is irrelevant in this case. This should be an open & shut case. 911 told him not to pursue Trayvon & he did. He pursued a child with a weapon & killed him. Case closed. Lock him up. *shrugs*
The cops couldn't stop or catch Treyvon when he was burglarizing the homes in that gated community. He lived in it, and knew he was young and would probably get away without charges. Zimmerman stopped him, after he was beat, had his scull cracked and his nose broken!! Get over it, another criminal off the streets.
Robert, he didn't live there, fool, he was visiting with his daddy, and there's no evidence he burgles any house at all...he was killed for walking while black. Zimmy is going down for this one way or another, dude, in or out, his zealotry cost him his life as well as Martin's...feel good about that? Hope it's you next time walking down the street, moron.
Nose broken??? That pic look like his nose is broken??? Helll no! I had my nose broken, man, and it don't look like a little bit of scratching like that...drama queen over reaction....wah.
He was not "instructed by the police dispatcher to stay in his car and wait till a police officer arrived". He was told "We don't need you to do that [follow him]".
Which means you shouldn't. Which means, if you do that and something happens, you're responsible.
I call BS on your stupid statement.
No it does not mean that; not at all.
we dont need you to do that well have a cop there in about an hour
Zimmerman obviously isn't the sharpest tool in the shed if he can't figure out it means the same thing.
WOW, the level of crazy comments & speculation of what happened does not amaze me, If this was your child I wonder how different the comments would be then. The bottom line is, no one knows what happened but God, Zimmerman, & Trayvon. Everyone has SOMEBODY they know who smokes or has smoked weed so that piece of info should mean nothing at all. You can shoot someone in both legs to keep them from attacking you IF that is what happened. You don't have to shoot to kill. IJS.
@Nintyfourpoet,thank you for incerting some civility amongst these dopes,I mean bloggers..
You admit "no one knows what happened", yet you seem to know that Zimmerman could have just shot Martin in the legs. Nice hypocrisy. In order to convict Zimmerman of anything, the courts would need to determine what happened.
You almost sounded logical until you mentioned GOD. eheh.
If a cop says stop, you stop. If a stranger calls out to you and tells you to stop you run and yell for help. That is what my child knows.
