Regardless, even if they said they didn't have "enough" that night, that can easily change at any time.

If the police decided not to charge him that night, the DA could have told them to do so the next day.  Even with a DA saying that night not to charge, that DA's boss could have said to do so the next day or whenever.  Contrary to popular belief, police really are not knowledgeable when it comes to the details regarding the laws and what will stand and won't.

I've read that Zimmerman told the police that, during their fight, Trayvon went for his (that is, Zimmerman's) gun after making a verbal death threat.
That would obviously obviate any need for physical injuries as a justification for the use of deadly force.
Remember that the burden of proof is on the state.
Zimmerman does not have to prove his narrative.
The police have to disprove it.

they are gathering every bit of miniscule evidence to overcome the he said-she said (but one is dead) defense.

Are we still going by the idea that the timestamp is correct, and is barely thirty minutes after the incident? If so, is that time for a minor break to cause the bruising you expect?

Perhaps you can point me to evidence that someone was ordered to "cover it up".
If not, you keep right on feeling; I'll keep right on thinking.

The two times I had my nose broken, I bled badly and had blood on my shirt and face. IF there was an altercation between the two of them, what did zimmerman do, go home and shower and change?

Never having had the pleasure, I'm no expert on broken noses. But a neighbor of Zimmerman's has stepped forward...

The neighbor is talking for the first time about what he saw on George Zimmerman's face less than 24-hours after Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. "I saw George. He was banged up... I seen him have a big bandage on his nose and his nose swollen. On the side, where his eyes were at, it was swollen," he said. He points out exactly where on a picture...

"Once you get into a fight you don't show bruises that day, it shows the next day," he said... "I think something happened that night where he had to defend himself," the neighbor said. He says that the voice heard screaming on the 911 call is that of George Zimmerman. "I hear his voice every single day, I talk to him every single day," he said.
