All that matters is the evidence though, and the evidence he is providing points clearly to TM as the aggressor and GZ being pummeled.
I see that and that is my point. His testimony should speak for itself without his apparent desire to attempt to mitigate them - this whole fearing for his life thing, I get it, I just see the man on trial as have far more at stake. If John is in fear of his life, he can move. Inconvenient for sure, but it is what one would do if they are truly in fear of retribution. Just my take.
