Amid a fierce campaign that erupted nationwide following the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a new video is casting doubt on the shooter’s story about what happened.
In a video shot just after shooting, George Zimmerman is seen emerging from a police vehicle with his hands cuffed behind his back as he’s frisked and led into questioning by officers.
Despite his lawyer’s account that Zimmerman was knocked down and suffered a broken nose in a scuffle with Martin, the video, provided to ABC News shows no injuries consistent with his description.

Doubt? Despite his lawyer's account that Zimmerman was knocked down and suffered a broken nose in a scuffle with Martin, the video shows no injuries consistent with his description
Trayvon's parents Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin told CNN’s Piers Morgan that the video proves what they have known all along.
Ms Fulton told Morgan: 'We just looked at the video and we were just surprised because according to the police report, he sustained injuries, but when we looked at the video, it was obvious that there were no visible injuries. [there was no] blood on his shirt'.
She later added: 'I believe that this video is the icing on the cake'.
The family's lawyer, Benjamin Crumb, told Morgan that the footage proves that the Sanford Police Department 'conspired to cover this up'.
Zimmerman, who has not spoken publically since the shooting, told police that he spotted Martin as he was patrolling his neighbourhood and called 911 to report a suspicious person.
'This guy looks like he is up to no good. He is on drugs or something,' Zimmerman told the dispatcher from his sport utility vehicle.
He added that the teen had his hand in his waistband and was walking around looking at homes.
'These a*******. They always get away,' Zimmerman said on a 911 call.

But Trayvon, 17, was not armed. He was returning from a convenience store with an iced tea for himself and a bag of skittles for his little brother.

A neighbour said there had been several break-ins in the community in the past year, including one in which burglars took a TV and laptops.
A dispatcher told Zimmerman to stay in his sport utility vehicle and that an officer would be there momentarily, but Zimmerman - for unknown reasons - got out.
Zimmerman told police he lost sight of the teenager and was walking back to his sport utility vehicle when he was suddenly attacked.
He and Martin fought, according to witnesses. Zimmerman said Martin punched him in the nose and slammed his head against the ground.
Zimmerman’s father Robert Zimmerman echoed those remarks on Wednesday night, telling WOFL-TV his son was being beaten by Trayvon, and the teen threatened him during the scuffle.

He told the network: 'Trayvon Martin said something to the effect of "you're going to die now or you're going to die tonight," something to that effect'.
He added: ‘[Martin] continued to beat George and at some point, George pulled his pistol and did what he did’.
Zimmerman told cops he acted in self-defence, and that he had yelled for help before firing the gun.
Police said Zimmerman was bleeding from his nose and the back of his head.
But the surveillance video shows no injuries consistent with that type of trauma.
Zimmerman appears calm as his pockets are checked and he’s led to a questioning room by three officers.
Speaking out: Trayvon's parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, talked about their son's death at a public forum sponsored by Democrats on Capitol Hill on Tuesday
In an appearance on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation on Wednesday night, the mother of a witness in the case said that she doesn't believe the account of Zimmerman's lawyer.
When asked by host Al Sharpton if she believed Zimmerman acted in self-defence, Cheryl Brown answered: 'Not at all'.
The fact that he has not been arrested nor charged in the case has fuelled a widespread outcry marked by protests, accusations of racism and demands that Zimmerman be taken in.
