I was surprised how much he helped the defense. I listened and read the transcript of the "questioning" that he and Singleton did and I thought they sounded like they knew Zimmerman was lying. Then when he took the stand I was surprised at the way he and Singleton leaned toward helping the defense.
This trial was a farce.I hope we get to the truth of it all soon. I feel for the Martin family--especially, Trayvon's mother.
Here is some info about why he possibly changed stories:
"Serino was reassigned to the overnight shift soon after video and audio interrogation tapes were released last summer that revealed he had doubts about Zimmerman's version of events in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin last Feb. 26.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch captain, said Martin was acting suspicious and soon became confrontational when Zimmerman encountered him walking through the subdivision where Zimmerman lived. In audio tapes recorded three days after the shooting, Zimmerman claimed he was attacked by Martin and shot him in self-defense.
But in the Feb. 29 recordings, Serino openly doubted the story.
"You ever hear of Murphy's Law," asks Serino. "This person was not doing anything bad. You know the name of the person that died?"
"Tavon," responds Zimmerman. "Trayvon," Serino shot back. "Trayvon Martin" responds Zimmerman. "Trayvon Benjamin Martin. ... He was 17. ... A kid with a future," said Serino. "In his possession we found a can of ice tea and a bag of Skittles. And $40 in cash. Not the goon."
Serino then questioned the extent of Zimmerman's injuries, telling him that despite the broken nose and two lacerations on the back of his head, his injuries did not seem consistent with someone involved in a life-or-death struggle..."
