A thought on the "witness" who said that Trayvon Martin attacked Zimmerman or instigated

the situation ...

So ... you let this kid beat up your buddy? You didn't try to get him off George? You went straight to calling 911? (or did you?)

If you were there and knew how it went down, why didn't you try to stop the situation from escalating? Why didn't you warn George that this kid was rushing you from behind???

Pretty big hole, there ... IF THE GUY IS SUPPOSED TO BE A WITNESS ...
