SANFORD, Fla. — The video shows George Zimmerman at the Sanford police station not long after he shot and killed 17-year-old Martin.
Zimmerman was in handcuffs the night he was taken to the police department after he shot and killed Martin.
Police checked his pockets, and then three officers casually walked him to a room on the second floor where he was questioned.
Zimmerman claimed that Martin confronted him, punched him in the nose and bashed his head into the sidewalk.
However, in the video Zimmerman doesn't to be in pain and he doesn't seem to have any visible injuries to his head.
WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said the video is not necessarily a game changer.
"The video may not tell the entire story. Who we need to hear from are the paramedics that treated him at the scene, law enforcement testimony, as to their observations and any photographs," Sheaffer said.
Sources close to the investigation said there is at least one picture of Zimmerman's injuries at the scene.
It was taken by an officer with his personal cellphone.
One of Zimmerman's neighbor Frank Taaffe told WFTV it the surveillance video does not prove anything.
Taaffe was at the Sanford Police Department on Thursday, reporting death threats against him for defending Zimmerman.
Taaffe claimed the camera angle prevented viewers from seeing head injuries that Zimmerman said he received from Martin.
City officials told WFTV the six-minute video has nothing to do with the investigation.
Police would not comment to WFTV, and State Attorney Angela Corey said the video shouldn't have been released because of the ongoing investigation.
However, in a police report, Officer Timothy Smith described Zimmerman's appearance at the scene of the shooting.
Smith wrote that Zimmerman "appeared to be wet and covered in grass, bleeding from the nose and the back of his head. He was placed in my police vehicle and was given first aid by Sanford Fire Department paramedics."
Taaffe said that's why you don't see any visible injuries in the video.
"Trayvon was holding him down, and banging him on the concrete, that would be in this area of the head, and if the camera angle is coming down this way. Once again there was no close up, very grainy," Taaffe said.
Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, appeared frustrated during an appearance on CNN Wednesday night.
"This video is clear evidence that there is some problem with this case, and he needs to be arrested," Fulton said.
Community leaders in Brevard County aid they will hold a roundtable discussion on the Martin shooting.
Norman Wolfinger is the state attorney for both Brevard and Seminole counties.
Since Martin's shooting, Wolfinger has been criticized for not filing charges against Zimmerman.
Organizers said the roundtable is an opportunity for residents to meet with candidates running for state attorney so they can discuss their concerns.
