Unless the DA has some pretty stunning evidence, I can’t see this getting to trial.

I know what I've read. I know what the Florida Statutes say - although I haven't read a lot of the case law interpreting those statutes (it's almost pointless until I know what the 'facts' are alleged to be by the prosecution and defense).

What we don't know is what Zimmerman told the police in the hours he was interrogated. Plus, we know that some witnesses changed their original statements to the police to make them more favorable to Martin. There's no telling how many new 'witnesses' have appeared since this became about race and gun rights rather than about Zimmerman and Martin, or since TV cameras have appeared, or how many witnesses have changed their stories.

I think Corey needs to be careful about suborning perjury from some of these witnesses who have changed their stories.

I was wondering what the penalties are for somebody changing their claims from what they previously swore. This Mary C in particular seems to me to be on dangerous legal ground. Wouldn’t the changes in the story at best make the testimony of those witnesses non-credible?

Scout, I agree. I recall reading somewhere that Martin’s girl friend on the phone waited 23 days to come up with her “recollections” of the “conversations” that they had during this episode... Yeah, RIGHT!!
