Why does this video suddenly show up? How did ABC get it?
Did the Powers decide to release this fuzzy low-resolution video because it appears to contradict the unauthorized leak about Zimmerman being beaten up?
Surely they also took higher resolution photos of his injuries. Why not release those?
And the police report is all over the net and is part of the public record anyway, right?
The eyewitness said the guy on the bottom in red was being pummeled by the guy on top in the dark clothes. If true, there will be marks of some sort on Trayvon's knuckles, fists.
I wonder if the kid was on speed.

This is probably unlikely to come out, but I'm more interested in a forensic analysis of the gunshot and a report on the condition of Trayvon's body. It ought to be fairly obvious whether Zimmerman fired the gun from a prone position into an attacker that was on top of or standing over him. In addition, if there was a fight as Zimmerman claims then Trayvon's body would probably indicate that (tearing and bruising of skin on the knuckles, possible bruising to the midsection or arms in the struggle).

Faffy, the funeral home director that prepared Trayvon's body for burial was on Nancy Grace last night. He said there were no bruisings, scratchs, etc on Trayvon's hands, face, etc. Then again, this is a funeral home director. I would curious to see what the medical examiner says though.

I've heard that, but I have no idea how to judge that guy's character or medical knowledge.

Agreed. One point, though, while toxicology reports often take weeks, ballistics test and autopsy reports don't take that long. They should already have those results, no?
