You apparently have not read the article. The witness is NOT Zimmerman. The witness is the man who made a 911 call reporting the attack. He watched this attack and a report was taken by police that night. There were other witnesses as well. You accuse Zimmerman of LYING with n basis in fact. You misstate what the article actually says. AND most egregious you appear to be defending an attacker who viciously beat another human being.
What in the hell is wrong with you?
Yes I have read the article. "John" and the other witnesses only saw the fight in progress or the aftermath.
Zimmerman is the only one to give an account on how it started.
(from the article)
There is about a one-minute gap during which police say they're not sure what happened.And get it through your skull, I am not accusing Zimmermans of LYING when he says he reached for something in his pocket while they were having heated words. That is likely to be the truth. They were arguing, Zimmerman made a threatening move. "Zimmerman acted stupidly"Zimmerman told them he lost sight of Trayvon and was walking back to his SUV when Trayvon approached him from the left rear, and they exchanged words.
Trayvon asked Zimmerman if he had a problem. Zimmerman said no and reached for his cell phone, he told police.
