I wonder how desperate the prosecution is to appease the Sharpton crowd.

Zimmerman will be sacrificed upon the altar of Obama and the myth of black oppression—he isn’t the first nor will he be the last. I fear for the nation.

cross examination by a good defense attorney should be interesting to find out who convinced them to change their story...

On the main thread posted earlier, most FReepers see this as a good thing. Even if witnesses no longer support Zimmerman, the defense will eat them up.

“Are you wrong now, or were you wrong then?”

Their testimony in court will be useless. To the prosecution or the defense.

If you read the article carefully, the Lame Stream Media is the party which convinced the witnesses that they didn’t see what they thought they saw.

A good defense attorney will rip their new testimony to shreds. However, like I said earlier, the fix is in and it won’t matter what the truth is...

Cheers

Exactly. Those "witnesses" .. no matter into which directed they changed their accounts.. have put the dagger to the much of the prosecutors' case.

mmm And the pictures of a younger, smaller TM are going to comeback to bite them. Can hear it now: “It was the big-older guy on top”

We DO relate size with age. Five foot under 100 lbs was carded until my weight increased in my forties.

[[he isn’t the first nor will he be the last. I fear for the nation.]]

Apparently now, black folks can now say anythign they want abotu white folks, and the press will back them up fully- hell, they can even change their stories at any point, and it won’t make a bit of difference- aqs longt as whitey gets thwe shaft.

IF, and it’;s a bit IF, there is ANY justice left i nthis country- all of those inviovled in this mockery of a ‘trial’ will be prosecuted themselves and zimmerman will be set ‘free’ although his life is now over thanks to a prosecutor more intwerested in her career than she is in gettign to the actual truth!

“I wonder how desperate the prosecution is to appease the Sharpton crowd. “

I was thinking more in terms of the blak panthers threatening these witnesses—or someone buying them off(think holder through a surrogate).

It appears the investigators wish to go down with Corey.

Subpoena the video recordings of the interviews, and see.

MSNBC is worried they’re losing momentum. Gotta keep those revenge beatings and killings going.

I’m sure the prosecutors are coaching the witnesses so that nothign will slip out in court that might reflect who coached them

I don’t know about these other Freepers, but I always take my contact lenses out when I am witnessing a fight.

Any witness whose testimony tends to favor Zimmerman testifies at the risk of his or her own life. I heard on the radio the testimony of the male witness who said Martin was administering an "MMA" beating. He did not sound the least doubtful or ambiguous. If his testimony is changing now, it may well be from a justified fear for his life. After all, there is a publicly made, unrescinded proclomation of a price on the head of Zimmerman. And NO local, state or federal law enforcement official has taken steps to arrest those who made this widely trumpeted death threat.

Investigators know that the initial testimony is usually the most complete and the most accurate. As time goes by, people start to have doubts about what the witnessed and also outside groups with agendas can exert influence.

Also the testimony has to jibe with the evidence for it to have weight. E.g., the evidence just doesn’t support that woman’s claim that it was Zimmerman on top of Martin.
