[Political Junkie Too]

Truth of a witness’ testimony is for the jury to decide, not for another witness to decide.

So is Zimmerman a witness or the defendant?

It's not for the police to say whether the defendant was truthful?

-- It's not for the police to say whether the defendant was truthful? --

That is correct. Judge cited a number of cases on that point.

Bear in mind that usually, the police will be claiming defendant is lying. O'Mara mentioned that he'd like time to reseach the law, but I'm going to guess there are no precedents that fit a wrongful prosecution situation - truly innocent person taken into court with no evidence contrary to his claim.
