In some statements, Zimmerman said his head was battered many times, perhaps 25 or more, Serino said. But Zimmerman’s injuries, a bloody nose and two lacerations to the back of the head, are far less severe than the accounts of Zimmerman’s story.
Serino, who initially wanted to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter before being overruled by his superiors, tells Zimmerman in the recorded interview that his injuries are “not quite consistent” with his story.
