walking while black - Trayvon Martin

At least four key witnesses have changed their stories about what they saw the night George Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., the Orlando Sentinel reported Tuesday.

The report comes after state prosecutors released about half the evidence they have in their second-degree murder case against Zimmerman.

The witnesses, known publicly only by numbers, first talked to Sanford police and later to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and state prosecutors.

Among the changes, according to the Sentinel:

Witness 2: A young woman from the Retreat at Twin Lakes community, where Martin, 17, was shot Feb. 26, first told investigators she saw two men running and a fist fight. She later said she only saw one person running and couldn’t distinguish much because she had removed her contact lenses.

Witness 12: A young mother in the townhome community first said she saw two men on the ground but wasn’t sure who was on top; she later said Zimmerman was on top because she recognized his size based on news reports.

Witness 13: A male neighbor first said Zimmerman, with a bloodied head, told him he had to shoot Martin because “he was beating up on me,” and to please call Zimmerman’s wife. He later went into detail and described Zimmerman’s tone right after the shooting as casual, like the shooting was “nothing.”

Witness 6: A male neighbor, whose story change was initially reported Friday, first told police Martin was on top of Zimmerman and throwing down punches mixed martial arts style. He also first said Zimmerman was calling for help. The man later said he wasn’t sure who was yelling for help, and that Martin may have merely pinned Zimmerman to the ground. He was still sure, however, that Martin was on top.

Please tell me that I am not the only one who thinks that THE STATEMENTS are ALL that different or changed to pinpoint a new direction of the case. The Statements IMO DO NOT change ultimately what happened and how the events happened that night.

Witness 2: A young woman from the Retreat at Twin Lakes community, where Martin, 17, was shot Feb. 26, first told investigators she saw two men running and a fist fight. She later said she only saw one person running and couldn’t distinguish much because she had removed her contact lenses.

Witness 12: A young mother in the townhome community first said she saw two men on the ground but wasn’t sure who was on top; she later said Zimmerman was on top because she recognized his size based on news reports. Now this comment just doesn’t even add up, and seems to be incorrect anyway. I would not take what this witness said as fact. “based on his size” WTF? George was a little guy compared to the massive size of Martin.

Witness 13: A male neighbor first said Zimmerman, with a bloodied head, told him he had to shoot Martin because “he was beating up on me,” and to please call Zimmerman’s wife. He later went into detail and described Zimmerman’s tone right after the shooting as casual, like the shooting was “nothing.” This can easily be described as SHOCK, DISBELIEF, FEAR, etc. Could go on and on with this one.

Witness 6: A male neighbor, whose story change was initially reported Friday, first told police Martin was on top of Zimmerman and throwing down punches mixed martial arts style. He also first said Zimmerman was calling for help. The man later said he wasn’t sure who was yelling for help, and that Martin may have merely pinned Zimmerman to the ground. He was still sure, however, that Martin was on top. If you gave your initial statement that night, NOT KNOWING what this incident would cause, and how the NATION was going to react…President, celebrities, congress, etc. The average “JOE” would jump on the wagon. IMO.

As I respect your opinions Duchess ....
I just feel that there has been too much attention and OUTSIDE influence, rumors, etc. for anyone to accurately and truthful without fear of retaliation tell the truth about that night. (Opinions online are different, people can talk shit without names or faces being shown.)

My first laugh out loud moment of the day.

I would never respect the opinions of an asshole & I don't expect you to either.

zimmerman yelling for help is taken as well from the 911 tapes

What part of the 911 tape are you confused about donoboy?

time line and statements made to a 911 operator at those times, it's really pretty simple and any stepper like you should be able to figure it out.

It's not unusual for witnesses to change their stories either by enhancements or by deletions,retractions.

fear,anxiety,and second guessing what they actually saw is all part normal.

I won't call him anything else until he stops pulling on my pant leg and whining.

Im a tard and yet you are the one that don't know how to read a 911 timeline or give it the proper import in your assessments.

Ok.

BTW: At least we can be sure he'll lose his CCP.

And while riots are not desirable, it IS how the angry and disenfranchised seek redress for their grievances.

What makes you (us) "sure" Zimmerman will lose his CCP? Thanks for the justification of rioting. "Disenfranchised"? Who are the disenfranchised in this instance? High fructose corn syrup consumers ignoring Michelle's dietary guidelines?

Re: Z's CCP, just wait and see.

Re: the disenfranchised, perhaps those who fear they may be next. Or camels who just need that ONE more straw.

There's no shortage of either.

[Sterling]

Re: Z's CCP, just wait and see.

Yes. I understand it will be a "wait and see" process. However, you stated it as a certainty. I'm asking YOU on what grounds his CCP will be revoked. If convicted, it's almost a given. If he walks; what then? As to the rioters, it's just generic pissed-off people you are referencing, right? Nothing specific to this shooting, huh?

[ramseycat]

After shooting and killing an unarmed teenager while doing neighborhood watch, Z will definitely lose his CCP. Even if he is aquitted, the authorities cannot justify letting him keep that permit.

Not if it's deemed self-defense. Cite me FL law to support your position.

[ramseycat]

I don't have a law. I just don't think the can justify it. There is so much puclic outcry about this whole situation and this organization against them and then that organization against the other one. If he is allowed to keep him permit and word gets out? There is going to be a scene. I can't imagine Z would even want to have a permit anymore. If killing Trayvon has been so traumatic for him and he is so devastated by what he has done, I would think he would never want to touch another gun.

[IMaDick]

I don't have a law.

Then you have nothing, the law is what we go by in this country.

If Z is aquitted He will face no penalty and his CCW license will not be in jeopardy.

You do know that an aquittal means that He didn't want to have to touch the weapon to begin with right?

[shitstorm]

Eye witnesses are not reliable. Why they are used, I don't know.

Common sense tells me that Z was the one yelling for help because he got womped on.
