Must be a slow news day:

Zimmerman’s lawyers release bloody nose photo

(CBS) — The defense team for George Zimmerman, charged with killing unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin in February, released a color photo of Zimmerman with a bloody nose.

Zimmerman’s lawyers say the photo was taken by a police officer on February 26, the night 17-year-old Martin was shot and killed nearby his father’s home in Sanford, Fla. The 29-year-old has pleaded not guilty to the second-degree murder charges and was released from Seminole County Jail on $1 million bond in July.

The photo was published on gzlegalcase.com, a website created by Zimmerman and his defense attorneys. Although the same picture was made public earlier this year as black-and-white photocopy, this high-resolution version comes shortly after the same website announced a “thank you” card defense fund to raise money for Zimmerman.

Lawyers on both sides of the case disagree on the picture’s significance.
