The father of George Zimmerman says Trayvon Martin threatened to kill his son on the night of Martin's fatal shooting. Robert Zimmerman claimed his son George was being brutally beaten and threatened before he shot dead Travyon Martin. Robert Zimmerman told Orlando station WOFL TV that his son had no choice but to kill Trayvon or risk being beaten to death.
He claimed that Martin beat his son for over a minute and told him something along the lines of, "You're going to die tonight."
"He continued to beat George. At some point, George pulled his pistol ... and what he did."
"He was punched in the nose. His nose was broken," He also said “"He was knocked to the concrete. Trayvon Martin got on top of him and started beating him."
He said just after the George Zimmerman surveillance video, taken at police headquarters the night of Martin's killing, was released.
The video shows His hands cuffed, Zimmerman does not appear to have substantial injuries.
Benjamin Crump, a lawyer for Trayvon's parents, said "This certainly doesn't look like a man who told police only an hour or so earlier he suffered a broken nose and had his head repeatedly smashed into the sidewalk.
