friend's testimony is significant - isn't it all hearsay and will conform exactly to what GZ has said?

This guy wrote a book about the incident and I'm sure his words have been rehearsed for months.

The entire testimony was full of assumptions and narratives coming from a COP. Why was he not made to stick to what zimmerman told him? Instead he was allowed to subject his own story and interpretations into it.
