Key witness in Trayvon Martin shooting changed story


A key witness to the Trayvon Martin shooting changed the story he had given Sanford, Fla., police, telling state authorities he was not sure who was screaming during the altercation with George Zimmerman, NBC Dateline confirmed Friday.
The man known as Witness #6 originally told Sanford police Zimmerman cried for help. The witness stuck to his account that he saw Martin, 17, straddling Zimmerman and pinning him to the ground before Martin was shot.

On March 20, according to the Orlando Sentinel, while sitting for a follow-up interview by a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigator the witness said that he was no longer sure who was calling for help.
"At first, I thought it was the person on the ground, just because, you know, me thinking rationally, if someone was on top, the person on the bottom would be yelling," he said, according to the Sentinel. "I truly can't tell who, after thinking about it, was yelling for help just because it was so dark out on that sidewalk. You can't see a mouth …"

In those pictures he looks like a guy that got into a fight and was getting his ass kicked. It wasn't life or death. Did he even throw a punch? His hands say probably not. This wasn't a him or me situation. He shot instead of getting the ass kicking he probably deserved.

"There is no second-degree murder evidence in this case," Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said. "It's a very close case."


"If there are demonstrations, the finger of responsibility will point directly at the prosecutor," Dershowitz said.




"I'd rather play the defense than the prosecutor, because there's no way you get a murder-two conviction," journalist-attorney Geraldo Rivera said on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" last week.

I don't care much what OJ's lawyer and a moron like Geraldo have to say about this or much else.

Yeah, I do. When an unarmed teenager gets shot at close range by an over zealous, paranoid, racist I don't need much more evidence.

His MySpace. The fact he profiled a black kid for no reason.

This sounds pretty racist: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/1 ... 28268.html

Witnesses change stories ahead of Zimmerman trial: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/tra ... 43219.html

Another witness, who was initially interviewed on March 20, said she saw two people on the ground immediately after the shooting but was not sure who was on top.

But in another interview with investigators six days later, the paper reported, she was sure: It was Zimmerman on top.

A fourth witness also interviewed on the night of the shooting said he heard the shooting, ran outside, and saw Zimmerman standing with "blood on the back of his head." According to "Witness 13," Zimmerman told him that Martin "was beating up on me, so I had to shoot him."

A month later, the same witness described Zimmerman's demeanor: "[It was] not like 'I can't believe I just shot someone!' It was more like, 'Just tell my wife I shot somebody,' like it was nothing."
