You know damn well they were. Coached and paid.
So were they lying the first time or are they lying now?
Throw the whole damn thing out!
High-tech lynching.
Coached, coerced and intimidated.
Trayvon Martin shooting wasn’t a case of racial profiling

Facts seem real muddy and in such situations, I thought that innocent until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt meant something, but not in the court of MSM public opinion. Time will tell.
His father was a magistrate in Virginia, which has been reported to be a JP type position. The problem here began when Crump, Parks, Sharpton and Jackson joined forces.
And if you really want to hear coaching listen to the Dee Dee tape. She is the “girl friend” who’s statement the indictment is based on.
“until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt”
That is incorrect. It is beyond a “reasonable doubt”. Makes no difference though. Zimmerman committed no crime and there should be no trial
What would you trust someone who just tells what they saw when they had no idea how it would be interpreted or someone who after seeing a lynch mob changes their story in ways that appease the mob?
IIRC, “Witness #2” is the one who, in another story, was quoted as saying people should “shoot to wound” and Zimmerman could have just shot Martin in the leg. (*facepalm*)
As for dirty play by the prosecutor here...certainly possible. She’s got what most legal experts believe to be an extremely weak case, and she is likely facing a lot of pressure to make something stick. I think, though, there is also probably some “cold feet” going on by some of the witnesses. In a perfect world, a witness doesn’t get intimidated, either by the media or a prosecutor. In realville, people worry about what might happen to them if they get dragged into the same media spotlight as Zimmerman.
I try (not always successfully since buying a new car) to tithe a portion of my pay to charity. I usually give to Boystown, Salvation Army, and the Shriners. This pay I am making a donation to Zimmerman’s defense fund.
IMO since Angela Corey wants to follow in Mike Nifong’s footsteps perhaps someone should do something to see that she meets the same fate (disbarment etc.)

I'll bet that this witness would like to take back her new story since it was probably given before she had a chance to see the pictures of the damage Trayvon did to Zimmerman's head, front and back. The pictures and autopsy of bruises to Trayvon's knuckles prove this witness's new story to have been conveniently altered to fit the prosecutor's agenda, aka witness tampering.
Witness 4 Original story: Witness states that on the night of the shooting that Martin was on top, "just throwing down blows on the guy, MMA-style." Witness also recalled that Zimmerman was calling for help. New story: Witness tells prosecution he isn't sure who was calling for help.
I'm sure this witness was worked over to try to say that Zimmerman was on top, but the most that the investigators could get him to say is that he couldn't see whose mouth was moving when he heard the cries for help that odds are didn't come from the guy on top "throwing down blows MMA style".
This prosecution team should face their own prosecution for witness tampering.
