WFTX - George Zimmerman's defense team releasing a new picture Monday. It was taken on February 26th by police after Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.

Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the 17-year-old's death.

He says he was on neighborhood patrol and was acting in self-defense, putting the state's "stand your ground" law to the test.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara says the defense asked for this color, high-resolution version.

When asked for his reaction to the photo, Martin family attorney Ben Crump said Zimmerman never should have gotten out of his car that night. But once he did, he says Trayvon Martin had every right to defend himself.

Zimmerman is expected to go on trial in June.
