“I’m more interested in this unknown and secret witness’ credibility.”
First off...as to the notion of his being ‘secret’. Why is he a secret? Well it could be because of the legions of rioters who would burn his house down if they knew his identity.
And that also answers the ‘why’ as to how come he waited so long to come forward. For all we know, he may have come forward the very day it happened...but didn’t advertise it to the media.
As to his credibility. First, his story makes sense. The original story we heard that Wilson gunned down a teenager in cold blood, without provocation, in broad daylight, when his hands were up, and his back was turned....well that story really doesn’t make sense. Even if Wilson were some type of predator hunting black teenagers, he wouldn’t practice his hobby in the middle of the day would he? So the ‘makes sense’ test is important, I think...and this witness makes sense.
Sometimes that all you can go on when evaluating the credibility of a witness.

Shall I point out the numerous events where cops have done EXACTLY that, or near?
First clue, Dorner Hunt. You’ll note the cops got away with that.
Maybe I’d have more confidence in reasonable interpretations, if cops didn’t give us a lot of unreasonable crap.
