Was listening to dad’s TV while I do some chores. Think he may have it on CNN. Commentator caught my ear while talking about this case. Referred to witnesses changing their stories from the initial interview done by the police, the night of the incident. (Bet we know who he was talking about.)

He specifically mentioned the person changed statement to it was a “young boy” yelling for help.

Wait till the videos come out of the 6’3” hooded kid. Surprise! Surprise! (I assume his voice had changed....LOL)

That's funny, because CNN is the venue that featured this witness as providing startling new information.

O'Mara is pretty tall, and really looks it standing next to Zimmerman. I wonder how tall O'Mara is. Put him in a Trayvon Martin Memorial Hoodie, and see what sort of impression that gives the viewer.

I have an idea what witness this might be.

There was a woman who called 911 to report the altercation. This is the call on which you can hear the gunshot in the background. You can also hear her yelling at someone else in the house telling them NOT to go out and help the person who was screaming for help.

One of the networks had an interview with this woman with her appearance and voice disguised. She said she peeked out the window and talked about the larger man being on top and hearing the cries for help.

The news media reported this as a grown man killing a young boy.

So everyone who didn't personally examine the body was under the impression that the young boy was the smaller person and had the higher-pitched voice. This was compounded by the photos of 12-year-old Trayvon being used by the media.

In fact, Zimmerman is only 5'8" and was the smaller man by several inches. Zimmerman also has a high-pitched voice even when he is not screaming, as anyone can hear on the recording of the police dispatcher call.

So we may have here a situation in which witnesses have interpreted what they heard or saw by reference to the mis-reporting in the media, leading them to believe they know the opposite of what occurred.
