lol so zimmerman after he beat up and killed the kid,then bashed his own head against the pavement then broke his own nose then the autopsy of Travyon they scuffed his knuckles Maybe I'm not following you correctly?edit on 23-5-2012 by digital01anarchy because: (no reason given)
So let me get this straight.
A stalking victim isn't suppose to fight back?
The person perpetrating the stalking act is suppose to be able to stalk the stalking victim unmolested?

But but but... A "white" guy killed a black kid! It MUST be racially motivated, right? I mean that's the only reason to shoot someone, right?
Right? CNN, FOX and MSNBC told me so!
Would Zimmerman had been following lets say Mormon Missionaries?
That shows that the problem is deeper than it looks at first. Hispanic means only that his ancestors have some connection with Latin America or even Spain and Portugal.

Um, because some random burly ass dude stalking a 17 year old boy is creepy. I would have been in fear of my life just as Trayvon was.

Then why didn't he walk to the nearest door knock on it and explain the situation? I'm scared im being followed can you call the cops? No he runs away hides in bushes and almost gets away with it then decides to beat the hell out of the guy that he's apparently afraid of when hes walking back to his car? Travyon attacked him without knowing why he was followed or for what reason and his paranoia lead to his death! The fact that he had weed in his system could have helped create this problem by making travyon overly paranoid
I didn't base my opinion off of Fox news! I based it off of my own personal experience in dealing with gated communities. I don't like the fact a 17 year old boy died because of it.
Lets say I am been pursued by an unmarked privet detective my wife hired while I was driving. I see this detective following me in his car so I hide my car. When the detective cant find my car he goes back into his car and starts to drive away. Me fearing for my life decide to run him off the road and he shoots and kills me. Was it my fault? I mean he was following me. I don't know him! this is the same situationedit on 23-5-2012 by digital01anarchy because: (no reason given)

You seem to be taking the parts you want to hear and making a story... That doesnt go along with what we know, what the witnesses have said etc..
That is a good sign you had youre mind made up before even looking into the facts of the case, and you like many like you will never change youre mind.

This thread is not about the guilt or innocence of Zimmerman.
I just finished reading an article in the Huffington Post that outlines the testimony of the witnesses. During the original interviews, information was provided and then in the subsequent interviews, the information changed for the worse for Zimmerman.
My first thoughts were the reckless reporting by the MSM and how the entire case was blown up to make Zimmerman look guilty (whether he is or isn't is NOT THE POINT).
Is it possible that the stories changed due to what the witnesses heard and read on TV/Internet? Could they have been influenced by the popular opinion?
Could it have been threats from people or the prosecution?
Is it possible that they were paid off to keep this story alive and dividing us?
I would think the most important interviews would be the ones that took place directly after the situation went down. I don't know that, though. Can someone who is a LEO or investigator give us some insight to this?
Please DO NOT make this case about Zimmerman or Trayvon, but about the witnesses testimony and the reasons for the change.
I really want to hear everyone's opinion on the matter.
Details about the witness testimony and changes below.
Witness 2
A young woman who lives in the Retreat at Twin Lakes community, where Trayvon was shot, was interviewed twice by Sanford police and once by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
She told authorities that she had taken out her contact lenses just before the incident. In her first recorded interview with Sanford police four days after the shooting, she told lead Investigator Chris Serino, "I saw two guys running. Couldn't tell you who was in front, who was behind."
She stepped away from her window, and when she looked again, she "saw a fistfight. Just fists. I don't know who was hitting who."
A week later, she added a detail when talking again to Serino: During the chase, the two figures had been 10 feet apart.
That all changed when she was reinterviewed March 20 by an FDLE agent. That time, she recalled catching a glimpse of just one running figure, she told FDLE Investigator John Batchelor, and she heard the person more than saw him.
"I couldn't tell you if it was a man, a woman, a kid, black or white. I couldn't tell you because it was dark and because I didn't have my contacts on or glasses. … I just know I saw a person out there."
Witness 12 was interviewed on March 20, saying she "didn't know which one" was on top of the other during the scuffle. Six days later, she said she was sure it was Zimmerman on top, the Sentinel reported.
Witness 6 lived close to where the incident occurred. On the night of the shooting, he told investigators that Martin was on top, "just throwing down blows on the guy, MMA-style," the paper reported. He also noted that Zimmerman was calling for help. But three weeks later, the witness said he wasn't sure who was calling for help.
Witness 13 said he spotted Zimmerman with "blood on the back of his head," he told police. Zimmerman allegedly told the witness that Martin "was beating up on me, so I had to shoot him." In two interviews after that one a month later, the witness described Zimmerman's demeanor as nonchalant, "... More like, 'Just tell my wife I shot somebody' like it was nothing."
