Sybrina was not an eye witness. Weren't there two eyewitness that would dispute her comment? The only witness that would support her claim is the one who refused the initial interview and then concocted a story later.

Since Dee Dee didn't initially come forward...My first question is “what is she hiding?” Local LEO say those that don't report incidence until later often have something to hide. Was she involved with his drug use? source?

At least one eyewitness. It was reported that an earwitness was comforted by investigator Serino saying that person yelling for help survived.

I think John will testify; I don't trust the 13 year old to give truthful testimony. He may have played football with Trayvon, and in the "snitches get stitches" category, his peer group is black males.

But yeah, on Sybrina's role in Corey's fiction - Sybrina is counterbalanced by Zimmerman relatives who will testify to the opposite of what Sybrina does. So, all of those interested parties "balance out" as useless. We're left with the same evidence that SPD had, which, ironically, includes Tracy Martin saying the screamer isn't his son.

Probably she's hiding the truth. She knows that Trayvon was playing cat and mouse, that he wasn't scared, and she may know that Trayvon decked Zimmerman.

At any rate, coming out after significant parts of the investigation are public gives her time and information with which to craft a plausible lie. Further, she's an interested party.

Snitches get stitches - pretty difficult to trump that.
