New video shows Zimmerman with NO blood or bruises on night he shot Trayvon
Fresh footage has emerged that casts doubt on George Zimmerman's version of events in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
In the video, filmed shortly after the unarmed teen was killed, Zimmerman is seen emerging from a police vehicle with his hands cuffed behind his back as he’s frisked and led into questioning by officers.
Despite his lawyer’s account that Zimmerman was knocked down and suffered a broken nose in a scuffle with Martin, the video, provided to ABC News, shows no injuries consistent with his description.

Not a scratch: George Zimmerman is seen emerging from a police vehicle with his hands cuffed behind his back as he's frisked and led away by officers
Doubt? Despite his lawyer's account that Zimmerman was knocked down and suffered a broken nose in a scuffle with Martin, the video shows no injuries consistent with his description
Trayvon's parents Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin told CNN’s Piers Morgan that the video proves 'what they have known all along'.
Ms Fulton told Morgan: 'We just looked at the video and we were just surprised because according to the police report, he sustained injuries, but when we looked at the video, it was obvious that there were no visible injuries. [there was no] blood on his shirt'.
She later added: 'I believe that this video is the icing on the cake'.
The family's lawyer, Benjamin Crumb, told Morgan that the footage proves that the Sanford Police Department 'conspired to cover this up'.
Zimmerman, who has not spoken publicly since the shooting, told police that he spotted Martin as he was patrolling his neighbourhood and called 911 to report a suspicious person.
'This guy looks like he is up to no good. He is on drugs or something,' Zimmerman told the dispatcher from his sport utility vehicle.
He added that the teen had his hand in his waistband and was walking around looking at homes.
'These a*******. They always get away,' Zimmerman said on a 911 call.
But Trayvon, 17, was not armed. He was retuing from a convenience store with an iced tea for himself and a bag of skittles for his little brother.
Protests: The killing of Trayvon Martin has sparked numerous demonstrations across the country, like this one in front of the White House on Tuesday
A neighbour said there had been several break-ins in the community in the past year, including one in which burglars took a TV and laptops.
