A resident of the Florida community where George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin last year after a confrontation took the stand Friday and described going out to investigate a noise and seeing one person straddling another and throwing punches down at the person on the ground.
John Good said he was watching TV with his wife when they heard a noise and he went out to investigate, despite his wife warning him not to. At first, he thought a dog might be attacking someone, but as he moved closer, he said he observed what looked like "a tussle" between two people.
"It looked like a tussle," Good said. "I could only see one person. At one point, I yelled out, 'What's going on? Stop it,' I believe," Good said.
Under questioning by Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda, Good said one of the combatants was straddling a man lying face up on the pavement, and throwing punches. The testimony appeared to corroborate Zimmerman's claims that he shot the 17-year-old African-American with a legally registered gun in self defense, as he was being pummeled.

Can we place bets on whether its real or not?....CNN is a hearing impaired ear witness
Slightly biased, wouldn’t you say?...............
we need more experts to testify to answer that question
A sufficiently stupified jury might hang, but it couldn’t convict Zimmerman. Not with this.
“But Trayvon was just a tiny little twelve-year-old...”
He wasn’t just a tiny little twelve-year-old.
Look at his girlfriend.
He was a tiny and BLIND twelve-year-old.
I’m watching it on TV on Headline News channel. There are also streaming websites. Maybe someone will put one on here. A radio station in Florida is one that has streaming.
That male witness was so calm and declarative - he knew what he saw. He was so fine.
I really haven’t followed the trial very closely. Can someone explain why this witness would be called by the prosecution?
“You have one man with his face beat in and his head bashed in, and you have another with no bruises. Which one is the aggressor?”
The black did have cuts/bruises - the autopsy stated that - cuts/bruises ON BOTH KNUCKLES.
This case dismissed yet?
The Huffington Post ended its coverage of Good’s testimony with the “What’s going on? Stop it” line. NOTHING was said about the person on the bottom being a lighter color.
Filthy, dishonest leftwing cockroaches.
The trial just ended. Floridians need to start collecting ammo now.

Actually, person on bottom had face facing upwards and would have more light on it. In limited light, the person on top would be facing down and have his face in less light.
Two equal complexions would appear as stated.
Just saying.
The witness also said the person on the bottom had red on his coat and the man on top had on all black.
Zimmerman’s coat had red on it.
I wonder what he saw in her and what she saw in him. Is it possible that he was trading jewelry for her substantial favors? Note: out of consideration for her privacy, I'm putting this in cursive. I wouldn't want her to read my post and be embarrassed.
and cuts, bruises, abrasions, etc to the face and posterior skull. The other guy, the darker skinned one, had injuries to his knuckles and a fatal gun shot wound. Do the math.
That would be a relevant observation in a confrontation between people with equal complexions, which this case was not.
The prosecution got the statement of John Good and new exactly what he was going to say. If they didn’t call him the defense would have and then they could accuse the prosecution of hiding the most important witness.
