Another Witness Corroborated Zimmerman's Version of Events

John Good, a witness called by the prosecution, testified he saw Trayvon Martin straddling George Zimmerman, totally undercutting the state's case and fully corroborating Zimmerman's version.

When the prosecution's only path to victory necessitates that it convince the jury to disregard the testimony of many of his own witnesses, well, then you know it's in big, big trouble.

There were numerous other facts that emerged at trial to corroborate Zimmerman's version of events, or undercut the prosecution's attempt to portray Zimmerman as a racist vigilante. Murderers, for example, generally don't summon the police to the scene minutes before their crime; they don't commit a murder when they know the cops are on the way; they don't make numerous voluntary statements without ever asking for a lawyer; they don't have visible injuries that corroborate their version of events; and they don't say, "Thank God," when being (falsely) told by a detective that the whole thing was caught on video. But the testimony of the witnesses for the prosecution also weakened its case.
