17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?

Not surprised about the witness recants. Goes to the point there may not have been any witnesses to definitively report what happened that night between George and Trayvon.

If they were for real I would bet they were probably threatened. Happens a lot when they have to tell their name in puplic. odds are they justy made up shit to get on the news anyway

But i know you all will spin it to fit your needs

Early reports were that witnesses were being coached on what they were supposed to say they saw that night.

All witnesses are coached, wether they are called to testify on behalf of the defense or the plaintiff. Fact.

I was a witness to a murder, back in 1973. The most important thing I learned from that experience, was to never speak to the police. Unquestionably, it ranks as one of the biggest mistakes in my life. If the police come knocking now, my lips stay sealed.

Cops aren't supposed to 'coach' witnesses. That's criminal misconduct.

Who said the cops coached them? And why would the cops be coaching them if the witnesses are being called by the prosecution? If the witnesses are being called by the defense then I'd be pretty sure that the defense attorney can take care of his own shit without the cops being involved. Hell, the defense attorney is probably coaching the cops. Why would the cops be coaching anybody when they can't bring anybody to trial or call witness or whatever.... doesn't make any sense.

The mother of the boy who was walking his dog and saw the fight between George and Trayvon, said a detective came by their condo months ago right after the murder and coached her son on what color jacket Zimmerman was wearing and who was on top of whom, when the boy had already told the officer it was too dark for him to see those kinds of details.

This is before the state prosecutor took on the case.

Well that witness will get a chance to testify under oath and clear up any misunderstanding.

And why do you keep saying 'murder' ? Are you privy to facts that we aren't or is your mind just made up?
