and based on the picture taken at the scene plus his doctor’s report there were 2.
The picture is open to interpretation, and the doctor’s exam didn’t take place until the next day, so if you are insisting there was more than one laceration, it must have occurred after the EMT examination.
AFAIU, only Zimmerman’s text messages are left out.
On what grounds? Isn’t the only exemption for a confession of some kind? What other possible reason could there be to not release them with everything else?
You can see it in the picture. It’s not a point of contention. The Doctor’s report the next day just confirms what was photographed prior to the EMT.
Sez you. I say there is only one laceration, consistent with the EMT report.
There is an exemption for “telecommunication records”. I don’t know how the fit text messages under it, but they did.
Heh. It looks like Zimmerman has a failure of being a no-show in federal court proceedings. Dude was fined $10,000 for failure to appear for a disposition in a civil suit that he was a plaintiff in. And did he pay this fine? What do y’all think?

What stands out to me is that his lawyers in this case “quit” Zimmerman, at least temporarily. So apparently in addition to everything else, he also has a established history of pissing off his own legal counsel. I seriously will not be surprised at this point if O’Mara quits too.
I can’t find anything about that “telecommunication exemption” in the news. I thought O’Mara was only asking for time to review them.
Meanwhile, there is this “leak” (not sure how reliable the source is):
Note that this is from a month ago.

(d) All records supplied by a telecommunications company, as defined by s. 364.02, to an agency which contain the name, address, and telephone number of subscribers are confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.
There are clearly 2 wounds here and it was documented by a DOCTOR.
The EMT report said there was one laceration. Case closed.
I saw that. It is surprising to me that there is nothing recent in the news about the texts and emails. Apparently, both sides don’t want them released (or “leaked” to the press).
Thanks for the cite re the exemption.
And the photograph, which clearly shows 2 separate wounds is verified by someone with a medical degree. Yes as evidence goes I agree, case closed. He had 2 separate source of bleeding in the back of his head and that’s what the jury will see.
I don’t doubt the doctor saw two wounds, and he has no reason to lie. However, Zimmerman does, so when he shows up at the doctor with more lacerations than the EMT recorded, it raises questions.
So after the picture was taken but prior to the EMT’s arriving his head magically healed and then re-lacerated itself for the Doctor? Really? That’s the straw you’re going to hold onto?
Why would it need to magically heal?
There was one laceration, then a day later, there were two? Your explanation?
the picture shows 2 wounds. the police station video shows 2 wounds. The doctor notated 2 wounds.
The picture shows one wound.
The police video shows a smudge, and that is being charitable.
Stipulated. So where did the second wound come from?
