There are also the issues surrounding "eyewitness testimony". There are thousands of sites that discuss some of the problems with it.

The Problem with Eyewitness Testimony
The Problem With Eyewitness Testimony

Professionals take the possible shortcomings of eyewitness testimony into consideration. Was the witness drinking prior to "witnessing" the incident, does the witness wear glasses, proximity of witness to crime scene, etc. These are just examples of technical issues as there will also be a character reliability check of the witness.
Wow, you and others here have it all covered and refuse to support and critisize anything that might support Zimmerman. But Trayvon is an angel.

I KNOW you didn't write that, but you looked it up because the witnesses that saw what happened.......you didn't want to believe them, how pathetic is that.
Wow - that's a pretty unnecessarily rude response to the poster, don't you think?

I have not made a definitive statement either way. There are variables that Zimmerman sympathizers refuse to acknowledge. They are the ones that have decided the outcome and speak as if they were at the scene of the crime. You really have it backwards.

Probably before they interviewed anyone.

Are you one of the eyewitnesses? Were you there? Do you know what was on either GZ's or TM's mind? Do you know either of them personally?

Wait let me answer that for you...The answer is a resounding NO...

We're all on here theorizing, editorializing, speculating and trying to have a discussion based on very limited facts and lots of hearsay...frequently your condescending comments derail and take the discussions off-topic...you're "amusing" at best...Instead of the constant snarkiness why don't you just answer Backspace's question...

Actually, the FBI were doing the interviews, at least up until the point when the Prosecuter brought charges.

When you have more than one witness that saw pretty much the same thing, I would say it is pretty reliable testimony.

You haven't made a definitive statement either way, I beg to differ.
