I watched both interviews several times and believe these women 100 percent.

Too many backsides are being covered by the police department. Instead of the lovely place to go to get out of the cold of winter FL has become the second home of the mafia.

Dysfunctional as it is, though, I'm staying to the bitter end. No desire to move back to the cold again.

These two witnesses will get you past the beating.
Their version of what they think happened is in mho...dead on.

(8,582 posts)They have witnesses who heard the fighting. Use this location where the fight broke out and use the location the body lay to verify this witnesses statement. Bring on the trial.

(12,647 posts)It creates doubt about Zimmerman's side of the story. Zimmerman claims Trayvon was sitting on top of him and slamming his head into the sidewalk when he shot him. It's a little hard to believe Trayvon was crying for help at the same time he supposedly was attacking Zimmerman.

(31,849 posts)A witness, a young Black male (probably 13 yrs old) is being trotted out to the media. He recited, erm ... stated, that he saw the "fight" and Only saw one guy on the ground ... (pause) ... he was wearing a shirt ... (pause) ... he was wearing a 'red shirt'."
Now over-looking the convenience of this suddenly available witness being a young Black male ... I must say, listening to this kid ... I do not find him credible.
Now maybe this is the result of the interview films' editting, where the reporter editted out his questions; but the kid reminded me of that kid in the grade school/middle-school play being feed his lines by the teacher in the wings.
