A witness is a witness unless somehow they can prove the witness is lying for benefit or the benefit of the suspect. A witness is not considered hearsay by the way.
He still shouldnt have been following the teen. I do not think stand your ground applies here as obviously , the suspect said he was following Martin. He provoked the issue.
Though Martin should still not have attacked the man , which Martin is the aggressive and law breaking one here
It's a thin line on this case.

I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.
Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.
His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman.
ZIMMERMAN IS INNOCENT DO
NOT BELIEVE THE LIES!!
All the bs the MSM is spewing
is insane people buy right on into
the whole damn race war the
msm is selling you..
JUSTICE FOR ZIMMERMAN
A FREE MAN!!
...and that they heard the pair in their backyard and a "very young voice" whining, with no sounds of a fight. They heard a gunshot; the crying stopped immediately, and they saw Zimmerman on his knees pinning Martin down on the ground.
The police took Trayvon Martin's body and stored it in a morgue, calling him "John Doe". Martin's family accuses the police of not asking any of the neighbors if they recognized Martin. According to David Horsey, they also did not check his cellphone to find someone he knew.[46]
Recordings of eight calls to the police made on the night of the shooting were released by the Sanford police on March 17, 2012. Early press reports indicated that the recordings included the sound of a single shot followed by a voice pleading or begging for help, and then a second shot is heard, after which the voice immediately stopped. Later reports indicate that gun was fired only once. Zimmerman told police at the scene that he was the one crying out for help.

Promotion of race as an issue?
Zimmerman attacked an INNOCENT black male and killed him.
Some of you people make me sick with your insistence on defending Zimmerman.
Would you defend Trayvon if the shoe were on the other foot? I think not!
