(2,730 posts)do what, lie on the stand? The Trial isn't over yet, if the prosecution treats Zimmerman's witnesses the same way. She did not lie to the jury, and admitted inconsistent statments, that she made. It is different when you get on that stand. When you know she lied to the Jury, then the Defense could charge her with perjury. She is consistant on the material facts. Zimmerman pursued Trayvon and he tried to escape him. She also was the last person speaking to Trayvon. Those are facts in evidence cannot be desputed. She is a problem for the defense.
There is no eye witness, claiming Trayvon attacked Zimmerman, hid or turned back. Every bit of that is speculation, and only Zimmerman's account. If Zimmerman's family is called to the stand, we will see if they are more truthful on the stand than this young lady people are trying to crucify. I would love to see what Mr Zimmerman claims about coaching his son about self defense and previous statements before Zimmerman obtained a lawyer. What goes around comes around. I would also like to see what his brother claims also.
