The detective on the case never believed him and filed an affidavit requesting a manslaughter charge. He questioned Zimmerman's story and this was before they even checked Trayvon's phone records which really tighten up the time line.

Clearly there were some significant inconsistencies in his statements. It will all come out in court.
