Witnesses interviewed early on in the Trayvon Martin case later changed their accounts in ways that could undermine suspect George Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense, according to a newspaper’s review of evidence recently made public.
The Orlando Sentinel reported Tuesday that the four witnesses were reinterviewed in the weeks following the Feb. 26 shooting of Martin in Sanford, Fla.
Three of the witnesses’ new statements, according to The Sentinel, may complicate Zimmerman’s case. This is how their accounts have changed:
Witness 12
A neighbor in the complex first told an agent March 20 that she saw two people on the ground, but wasn’t sure who was on top.
Six days later, after seeing news reports, she said she believed Zimmerman was on top of Martin.
Witness 6
He first told an investigator that he saw a black man (presumably Martin) “throwing down blows” on a lighter-skinned man (presumably Zimmerman). He also believed the one being hit was calling out for help.
But three weeks later, while he still claimed “the black guy was on top,” he wasn’t sure who was actually calling for help and wouldn’t assume Martin was the one hitting Zimmerman.
Witness 13
This witness interacted with Zimmerman before police arrived, according to the evidence, and noted the blood on the back of his head.
In two interviews a month later, he detailed how Zimmerman that night acted casually like “nothing” had happened, as opposed to “‘I can’t believe I just shot someone!’” according to the evidence.
Witness 2
She initially told police that she saw two people running, although she couldn’t say who was chasing whom.
On March 20, she told a Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent that she remembers seeing only one person running and heard them as well, but still couldn’t say who that was.
Poll shows Zimmerman support
The 17-year-old Martin was returning home from a convenience store and cut through a condo complex when he came across Zimmerman, police said.
Zimmerman, 28, a neighborhood watch volunteer, said he was allegedly attacked by Martin during an altercation. Zimmerman has claimed he shot Martin in self-defense, although prosecutors charged him with second-degree murder in April.
A Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday shows that public sentiment is still leaning more toward Zimmerman: 40% surveyed think he acted in self-defense, up from 24% last month.
Meanwhile, 24% agree that Zimmerman is guilty, down from 30% in early April.
The remaining 36% surveyed are undecided.
The poll, conducted over the weekend, comes after court evidence made public last week reveals the extent of Zimmerman’s injuries in photos and in a medical report compiled by his family’s doctor the day after the incident.
