"The one guy was throwing blows MMA style," a man called Witness No. 6 told Sanford police.


"The one getting beat up, I'm guessing he was yelling out help, because he didn't want it to come to that point, and then it came to that point where he was on the concrete. I don't know if you ever got hit on concrete, it hurts."


His recorded interview with Sanford police was just two minutes long.


But like several of the nearly two dozen witnesses interviewed by four different law enforcement agencies, Witness No. 6 was hampered by darkness and, the evidence suggests, influenced by news.


A review of the testimony of witnesses to the Feb. 26 killing shows several of them modified their accounts...


Based on the descriptions he offered, witness No. 6 saw Trayvon Martin on top of Zimmerman, punching him.


But when he was interviewed three weeks later by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and a local prosecutor, No. 6 said maybe the man on top wasn't throwing any punches, and perhaps was just pinning the guy down until the police came.


Maybe it wasn't the guy on the bottom calling for help after all.


"That's just an assumption," he said. "I can't tell who was yelling."

Poor guy probably doesn't want his address and name to be tweeted about and then being dragged through the mud, just for telling the truth, and now has to "rethink" his initial statement.

Of course, USF is allowed to speculate all he likes, despite the fact he refuses to allow anyone else to do the same.

FreeDumb obviously either didn't read the linked article, or couldn't get someone to explain what the big words meant.

"most of the witnesses in the case are identified only by number on prosecution records made public last week"
