7. Sounds like the cops were telling people what they saw/heard heard rather than the other way around

Human memories are fragile enough as it is without the cops mucking things up...

"He kept telling them he couldn't see anything because it was too dark," she said. "He said he couldn't see the race or anything. He never saw a second person."

She said when police asked what the person was wearing they offered three color options and he said, "I think it was red."

Zimmerman was wearing a red and black jacket while Martin wore a gray hoodie.

"Knowing my son, I believe he felt pressured to give the color," Brown told the Daily News. "He really couldn't see anything. I think when interviewing a 13-year-old you don't give them three options."

The police say (Cutcher) gave an official account to them at the time of the incident that supported Zimmerman's story.[77] However, Cutcher and her roommate maintain that their account of the incident to the police did not agree with Zimmerman's, and they demanded the police retract that incorrect statement.[75]
