investments. >> now cbs news correspondent david martin on assignment for "60 minutes." >> martin: everybodyrom america's wars is a life-changing experience. that's certainly what happened to the actor gary sinise. you may know him as detective mac taylor, the character he plays on the cbs series "csi: new york," or as lieutenant dan, the gung-ho army officer who loses both legs in vietnam in the film classic "forrest gump." but you probably don't know he plays bass guitar in a band named after lieutenant dan that will give nearly 50 concerts this year to raise money for wounded warriors, or to just plain entertain troops and their families. sinise has been acting professionally ever since he was in high school. he's played presidents and astronauts, criminals and cops, but it was lieutenant dan that turned into the role of a lifetime. >> let's hear it for gary sinise and the lieutenant dan band. ♪ ♪ do you remember ♪ >> martin: since his first u.s.o. tour to iraq in 2003, gary sinise has entertained nearly a quarter-million american troops and their families. >> gary sinise: we've been all

to reach them. >> martin: so he dropped a name the u.s.o. and welcome to fort platoon. i'm the guy that played lieutenant dan, if they don't know who gary sinise is. >> martin: lieutenant dan taylor only appears in "forrest gump" for about 20 minutes, but with the exception of forrest himself, played by tom hanks, he is its best known character... ( explosion ) ...an over-the-top army officer who sets out to win glory in vietnam and ends up losing his legs. >> lieutenant dan! >> martin: he is mired in booze and depression and headed straight for the bottom, only to be saved by the invincible innocence and optimism of forrest gump. >> sinise: god-damn bless america he's angry at... at god and angry at life and all of that, but he's able to put that all in perspective and move on. and at the end of the movie, he's rich and he's... and he's married and he's standing up on two legs and he's a whole different guy. >> martin: that was 1994, when movies about vietnam vets didn't have happy endings. >> sinise: i thought i'd try out my sea legs. >> t

martin if the voice calling for help was that of his son. mr. martin quietly responded no. but the martin's family lawyer says that's not the case. >> when he listened that tape, undistorted in the city manager's office, he broke down and cried like a baby, hearing his son beg for help before he was shot and killed. >> reporter: the police department was criticized after the shooting, not testing zimmerman for drugs or alcohol. apparently not knowing that he was on adderall, failing to ask questions if they knew martin, who was living just down the block and sending narcotics investigators to a homicide. so, which side does this information benefit? >> there's a lot here that seems to help the defense team. but let's remember. trayvon martin was still shot and killed by george zimmerman. and so even if zimmerman was on his back, even if he was losing a fight, he still has a lot of explaining to do and it's going to have to prove that trayvon martin was the initial aggressor. >> reporter: and for martin, we learned tonight he was slightly better built than previously thought

. >> major developments in the trayvon martin investigation. yesterday investigators released dozens of documents related to the case. along with surveillance video of martin shortly before the shooting at a 7-eleven, there were no photographs of george zimmerman, the man charged with murdering a teenager. now the latest details. >> this is trayvon martin at a 7-eleven in sanford, florida, where he bought candy and a nicety of. was shot a short time later if by george zimmerman, on his way back to home of his father's fiancee, where he was staying. and this is a picture of zimmerman with cuts on his forehead, a cut to the back of ahead. >> trayvon martin had to fight a guy who was armed, so yes he has injuries, but there are not life-threatening injuries. >> the autopsy says martin had trace amounts of marijuana in his system. another martin family attorney says that is irrelevant and wondered if zimmerman had anything in his system. autopsy also says martin was shot in the test from intermediate-range or within 3 feet. it lists the manner of d

he says he shot martin in self-defense telling police that martin assaulted him and his head was hitn the pavement. tonight, new photos of zimmerman from after the incident and a fire department report said he had abrasions to the forehead. he had bleeding and tenderness to the nose. and he was treated at the scene. also just released a sanford police report called a capias, a request for charges to be filed. the encounter between george zimmerman and trayvon martin was ultimately avoidable by zimmerman if he had remained in his vehicle and awaited the arrival of law enforcement or if he identified himself to martin as a concerned citizen and initiated dialogue in an effort to dispel each party's concern. there's no indication that trayvon martin was involved in any criminal activity at the time of the encounter. also in this newly released evidence, and again, this was just released from the last couple of hours a report from the fbi which analyzed that call that zimmerman made to 911. now, there are questions about whether zimmerman used a racial slur in that call. the fbi could no

my main message is to the parents of trayvon martin.now, if i had a son he'd look like trayvon. >> occupy wall street, voter i.d. requirements and stand your ground laws which more than half of the united states still has on the books. to some, these are reasons to resurrect the movement of protest against social injustices. the civil rights movement of the 1960s is considered one of the greatest movements in american history. but many of the issues that dr. king marched for are the same issues plaguing us today. has anything really changed? have african-americans become too complacent? is it time to resurrect the movement? >> we will not rest, we will not stop. we will not forget. >> we brought together a panel of leaders. the president and ceo of the national urban league. dr. jamal bryant, pastor of the empowerment temple in baltimore, and dr. eric dyson, sociology professor. we asked the question -- are we in the midst of a moment or a movement? >> i hope it's a movement, i hope it will ignite a greater degree, whether it's voter i.

martin. now that would seem to support the argument from george zimmerman that they are, in fact, in the struggle of their lives. but, again, it doesn't tell us who started it, and that will, of course, be vital in a courtroom. >> what were some of these other injuries sustained by george zimmerman that we're learning about? >> this is all coming, of course, when he went to the family doctor the day after the shooting incident. so what is pointed out is that he had what was called a closed fracture of his nose. he had two black eyes. he had an injury to his back, and, of course, he had the lacerations on the back of his head. again, the martin family's attorney would point out he didn't go to the hospital and he didn't have a concussion, which, again, if george zimmerman is saying his head is being beaten against the ground, if he's in fear of blacking out and losing his life, the injuries to the back of his head don't necessarily bear that out. this is going to come down to an argument of th

megyn: trayvon martin had one.e zimmerman had reportedly no knuckle injuries. >> that's right. the muzzle weapon was up against the body of trayvon at the time of discharge. that it was within an inch when it was discharged. that would have been on the ground or standing up. can't tell from the autopsy. megyn: definitely fired close range? >> close range. the muzzle being next to the skin. then it went straight in. straight in through the heart. megyn: looking at the way he was killed, the injury to the heart, is there any chance fighting could have continued after the bullet entered trayvon martin? >> good question. conceivably for a few seconds, 10 seconds or something like that until collapsed. megyn: okay. there was no chance of reviving him with that injury? >> even if people got their faster this was a fatal injury. megyn: okay. i want to ask you, mark, one of the interesting things everybody wants to know who started the confrontation, right? zimmerman following trayvon. trayvon he lost him somehow and the t

about marijuana use by martin. zimmerman shot the unarmed teenager one night in february. this is a picture of-- that was released this evening of martin-- that's him on the left-- at a 7-eleven as he was buying candy and an iced tea before he left to go to the neighborhood where zimmerman would ultimately shoot him. these are the last known pictures of trayvon martin alive. martin was visiting a home in that neighborhood. the question is what happened in the moments before zimmerman fired the fatal shot? the case set off a national debate over racial profiling and the right of self-defense. mark strassmann has the late-breaking details on the evidence tonight. mark. >> reporter: scott, this evidence covers 183 pages. it includes dozens of audio recordings, mostly interviews, surveillance videos, and reports about physical evidence. and it tells the story of a struggle just before the fatal shot. you're look at the last images of trayvon martin alive. this is surveillance video taken at a 7-eleven store in sanford,

it was self-defense for trayvon martin. if george zimmerman suffered a superficial injury, trayvon martin suffered a fatal injury. george zimmerman did not have to go to the hospital that night for his injuries. trayvon martin certainly was taken away in an ambulance. george zimmerman did not leave in an ambulance. >> it appears that there was a small abrasion on one of trayvon's fingers, i think his left hand a quarter of an inch. not a massive mark by any means, but again, consistent with some kind of scuffle. on behalf of the family, are you basically accepting now from everything you have seen and the stuff that has come out today, there clearly was a physical fight between them? >> well, piers, the family has always said if there was an altercation that it was started by george zimmerman. we have heard objective evidence. we have heard the 911 tape that he said "these a-holes always get away." we heard him breathing hard. so anything that happened, it was started by george zimmerman. and if george zimmerman would have

remember, trayvon martin was still shot and killed by george zimmerman. and so, even if zimmerman was on his back, even if he was losing a fight, he still has a lot of explaining to do and is going to have to prove that trayvon martin was the initial aggressor. >> reporter: an autopsy indicates that martin was shot at point-blank range, less than 18 inches away. medical examiners also found low amounts of the marijuana component thc in martin's system. the lead investigator called the shooting avoidable, had zimmerman remained in his vehicle and awaited the arrival of law enforcement. >> he made a decision to get out of his car in the rain, profile, pursue and confront trayvon martin and ultimately kill an unarmed teenager. >> reporter: the evidence still doesn't answer one crucial question. whose voice is heard screaming on the 911 calls? martin's father confirmed to investigators that the voice is not his son's. although, he now says he does, in fact, recognize trayvon's voice. rob and diana? >> so many questions. tahman bradley in washington for us. th

he says he shot martin in self-defense saying martin assaulted him. we have new photos of zimmer more than a after the incident and a fire department report says he had abrasions to his fore head. bleeding and tenderness to his nose and a small laceration to the back of his head when he was treated at the scene. also just released the a police report of a request for charges to be filed. that report says in part "the encounter between the george zimmerman and trayvon martin was ultimately avoidable by zimmerman, if zimmerman had remained in his vehicle and awaited the ie rival of law enforcement, or conversely if he had identified himself to martin as a concerned citizen and initiated dialogue in an effort to dispel each party's concern. there's no indication that trayvon martin was involved in any criminal activity at the time of the encounter." . also in this newly-released evidence, a report from the fbi. there are questions about whether zimmerman used a racial slur. the fbi could not determine what the word in question was because the recording q

no one saw the deadly shot but one unidentified witness said he saw martin beating martin. >> the goodthe top on the black hoodie he was throwing down blows mma style. >> like a ground and pound? >> yeah, ground and pound. >> reporter: these are photos of zimmerman taken minutes after the shooting. it appears he has a broken nose and there are bloody cuts on the back of his head. simpli he maintains he was being assaulted when he fired his gun. the autopsy found he was shot in the chest, wound surrounded by gunpowder gurns and the men were no more than 18 inches apart when the gun was fired. the confrontation was ultimately avoidable by zimmerman if he had waited in his vehicle and awaited the arrival of police. small traces of marijuana were found in martin's system but not enough to impact his behavior. what we don't know is how this confrontation began, if it was racially motivated. george zimmerman is free on more than amazon.com, walt disney and mcdonald's. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. right behind me is where all the action will be this morning. and at $38 per share,
