This one's my favorite, from good ol' TMZ:
George Zimmerman CRASH VICTIMS WERE WHITE. Actual headline, by the way.

Here is another good breakdown of the case that puts holes in the "Trayvon just and innocent boy" lie.

Apart the facts that the thing about autopsy findings is a lie (autopsy says liver was normal), that 'Lean' makes you sleepy, not violent, that Zimmerman was at the night of the shooting on mind altering prescription drugs that can make you aggressive and paranoid, that Zimmerman's injuries were slight and that the police investigator said that the crime scene evidence didn't support his story about being slammed against the pavement, that the claim that Martin saying that he was going to kill Zimmerman is solely based on Zimmerman's account of the events. I'm sure there was many other lies and inaccuracies that I missed. The whole point of that segment was to make Martin look like a violent thug.
In any case, I don't find Zimmerman's actions in this car crash case odd, even though I think he acted horribly wrong in the case of the shooting. Zimmerman wants to be a hero, and this probably sometimes leads to good results. Unfortunately at the night of the shooting it didn't. He misread the situation and used excessive force. I also believe he lied about what happened; that is only human though, most people would lie to save themselves from a prison sentence.

Show me where it says his liver was normal in the autopsy report, because the one you posted doesn't say that.
If you look into long term psycological effects of lean aside from initial ingestion, people can turn violent after using for a while. Check the second link I posted it goes into more detail and cites sources.
Here it is. It is a bit longer, but is quite good.

It says that under the microscope examination. Under the Hepatobiliary System summary, it notes discoloration and congestion.

I find it extremely funny the people here keep using the term murderer on Zimmermann after "Not Guilty" due to self defense. I already know one individual considers me a murderer on here......for self defense, shooting back and anger and seeing quite a bit of dead bodies of all ages and not caring anymore...yep....the term murderer just makes me laugh now...

Isn't that the whole point of the justice system? You do something wrong and then make penance by enforced incarceration, paying a fine or doing good works. I'm not saying the guy was guilty or innocent of murder, he is guilty of stupidity and the whole incident would have turned out differently if he hadn't gotten out of his car and followed Martin, but then Martin could have called 911 on his phone, had polite discourse with the "cracker" or just kept walking until he got to a more populated area or home.
What I am saying is that your statement is not accurate as it goes against the whole premise of amending past ill-works by doing good works; this is why police don't generally gun down someone for shoplifting or stealing a car or even for punching them, they arrest them and then that person has the opportunity to compensate society, as a whole, tort cases are for individual actions, capital offenses are against society which is why they are tried by the government, not your uncle Eddie down the block.
