ORLANDO, Fla. -- Prosecutors are releasing more records in the case of a former neighborhood watch leader charged with fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

The records being released Wednesday include a photo of former neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman's head that was taken by a witness following a confrontation with Martin.

The documents include Zimmerman's school records, other crime scene photos and Martin's cell phone records. They also include emails from the Sanford Police Department, the agency that initially investigated Martin's death.

Zimmerman is charged with second degree murder for fatally shooting Martin during a confrontation in a gated community in Sanford last February.

Zimmerman is pleading not guilty, claiming self-defense.

The delay in Zimmerman's arrest led to nationwide protests.
