Keep in mind, the jury did get to see the pics of Zimmerman's bloody head, and the cuts. That is something that all of the major news outlets edited out when all of this initially happened. .

The Martin family hired a media consultant a few weeks after the killing to flood the national news with information about this "injustice." They ran with whatever they were given by the family, the consultant and their attorney, Benjamin Crump. Once Obama spoke on it, the marches and other events started to happen, most media outlets didn't give equal coverage to the other side of the story.
Did you ever see the clip of Trayvon's parents with Mr Crump where Trayvon's mother said that she didn't want Zimmerman charged, she just wanted to know what really happened? Crump interrupted Trayvon's mom and handled the interview from there.
Did you know the police played the 911 tape that has the screams for help 14 times for Trayvon's dad and asked him if that was Trayvon's voice and he said "no?" I wonder if that officer is going to testify about that event.
This incident has already cost the town's police chief and, I think, the DA their jobs.
And the media will have immunity from any slander or libel lawsuits.
Even if GZ beats this, the feds led by Eric Holder will come down on him and there will be civil lawsuits filed against him personally.
Edit: BTW, whole story around Dee Dee's discovery as "the last person to speak to Trayvon", the elapsed time between the killing and statements and the handling of her as a witness by the police and Martin Family is a joke. I'm surprised it was even allowed into evidence.
