It has absolutely been contradicted.
Show me a transcript btw, because everything I have heard is that her story has changed several times.
The girlfriend is less reliable than the eyewitnesses in my opinion. Her testimony is no different than that of a racist because she has a reason to hate zimmerman.

No one ever said he had a life threatening injury. Just more exaggerated claims to try to make one guy look bad.
When you are getting your head banged against the ground you aren't clearly thinking "well when the damage is sufficient enough to justify it, I will shoot this fella." No you don't know what the damage is, but you don't know if or when it will stop. You react. If you don't react you are a fool.
I guess everyone here is so self righteous that you would let this guy beat you to death because he is younger and deserves a chance to show he will stop and doesn't know any better.
the guy is bashing your head into the ground to the point that you feel your life is in danger yet you refuse to go to the hospital for treatment?
i thought he was gonna kill me, he is unarmed, the cops are on their way, i'll shoot him. whatever happened to a fair fight? come on if thats the case take your ass whoopin like a man, trayvon would still be alive and we wouldnt be in this predicament now would we?
what are the odds that trayvon would have beaten zimmerman to death? honestly how many 1 on 1 fights between 2 unarmed people end up in death? maybe if trayvon was some kind of mixed martial artist and zimmerman was some pathetic weakling but that is not the case now is it!!!

You are making a really poor argument. The two are not comparable this isn't a sex crime where there is only one motive. This is a crime where it is not only possible, but likely that Martin attacked Zimmerman. If you can't make a better argument I am done with you because there are eye witnesses that saw Martin on top of Zimmerman.
Here I will argue it on the only level you are capable of apparently. It would be akin to a rape victim having someone over hear them at a party stated they were going to sleep with someone and claim rape to get them in trouble. You are trying to make a "she asked for it" argument out of a "stranger heard the victim's plan with his own ears" argument.

Yeah of course, but there is actual evidence to corroborate his claim.
His head was bashed against the concrete. He didn't do it to himself, people would have seen that of course.
Since his head was being hit against the ground, not only does it corroborate his story, but it shows that his life was in danger and he was justified.
The video below shows an obvious wound from the video.

UPDATE EXCLUSIVE
Brother: Medical records will prove George Zimmerman's story-- George Zimmerman's brother said medical records will prove that his brother was attacked and his nose was broken by Trayvon Martin before he fatally shot the teen.
Robert Zimmerman Jr. spoke to CNN's Piers Morgan Thursday night saying he wanted to correct some of the "mythology" and untruths that have been spread about the controversial shooting.

What? I didn't use the term incorrectly. You are the one that said that witnesses can be racist and therefore are unreliable, I said she would be just as unreliable as any racist because she hates GZ. I think maybe you need to read it again.
There are no interviews that I have seen with the girlfriend. Just what the lawyer says she said. The whole girlfriend angle is ridiculous. She didn't mention to the family that she was on the phone with him when things happened until three weeks later? She is just saying what the lawyer wants.
Can you please show me anywhere that says she was actually on the phone with him a minute before the cops got there? If that were true she would have heard the gunshot. It is just not true.

If TM was attacked, he has EVERY right to defend himself. So until it is known how the fight started, the injuries or otherwise to GZ are irrelevent except to prove that he was lying by saying his nose was broken.

SO they both had the right to defend themselves
and treyvon lost.
Remember men use to dual over
being calld an idiot. first with swords
then with guns..
If both idiots thought they were acting
in self defense which could be possible
then by all rights come hell or highwater
one of them was going to die did it have to be
that way? NO i think both of them stood there ground
one guy won one guy lost but dont hang the guy who won
a fight to the death for winning, either way it had turned out.

Nope. There is no evidence but the witnesses and the fact that Zimmerman was underneath and had the damage done to him. You can't prove anything else, he was the one that was in danger of sustaining damage or death therefore he is justified. There is not really anything else they can investigate to come to a different conclusion. He is innocent until proven guilty and to charge him would be to risk putting an innocent man in prison which we can't do.
So case closed pretty much.
