Well, the police certainly had the ability to go and question her. The reports that they didn’t do that are one part of the investigation that I find terribly irresponsible (if true.)

Lol..where did you hear that?..at Huffington Post?

And I’m not sure why you think she didn’t bother to check on him for five days.

Because no one knew about her until they checked through Martin's phone records, something that did not occur immediately at the start of the investigation. After she became known she refused to cooperate with investigators. Eventually she talked to the DOJ civil rights unit, but only after many other pieces of evidence were known and only after having extensive contact with the Martin family and their attorneys.

And again, her account tends to support Zimmerman’s - hard to figure why she would lie on Zimmerman’s behalf.

I have no idea what you're talking about here, and considering the probable cause affidavit relies heavily on her statements neither does the state of Florida. Without her so-called witness testimony, George Zimmerman would not be sitting in jail.

What are you talking about? You say the police didn’t check Martin’s phone at the start of the investigation, then ask me where I came up with the exact same piece of information. I really don’t understand what it is you disagree with.

If she refused to cooperate, as you say, this is something I have not previously read. I am not denying it, but would appreciate a link to those reports.

And the charging affidavit may or may not rely on her statements. All I know is that it does not cite her statement in asserting that Zimmerman initiated the confrontation.

I also don’t know for sure what her statement is. I only know that Martin family attorney Crump informed the press some time ago that it was her account that Martin initiated the conversation/confrontation. Maybe Crump was wrong. Maybe she changed her story. I don’t know. All I know is that the only version of her story that has been publicly reported does not contradict Zimmerman’s account (as it is publicly known.)

If she has changed her statement, and did refuse to cooperate, then she will clearly not make a very credible witness for either side.
