George Zimmerman took the stand today and apologized to the family of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman is responsible shooting and killing the 17-year-old in what he says was an act of self defense. He said that he did not know if Trayvon was armed or not. A picture has now been released of two cuts and a substantial amount of blood on Zimmerman’s head taken minutes after Trayvon’s death. This picture is meant to support George Zimmerman’s argument that the death of Martin was a result of self defense. Bail has been set for Zimmerman at $150,000. ABC News reports:

George Zimmerman stunned a Florida court today by taking the stand and apologizing to the parents of Trayvon Martin, who were sitting in the courtroom during Zimmerman’s bond hearing.

“I am sorry for the loss of your son. I did not know how old he was. I thought he was a little bit younger than I am. I did not know if he was armed or not,” Zimmerman said addressing Martin’s family directly.

Martin’s father, Tracy Martin, cried tears of anger after the apology, his attorney Ben Crump told reporters after the hearing.

Zimmerman took the stand wearing a dark suit with his hands shackled to a belt around his waist. He appeared to be wearing a bullet-proof vest beneath his loose-fitting suit.
