And she did say something. If she had kept quiet then we would not have this thread. I find it odd that so many are willing to believe that she lied about the conversation and what she heard and yet are willing to believe Zimmerman on his account of what happened. Zimmerman has a huge reason to cover his arse. Trayvon's friend does not. She is not charged with 2nd degree murder and is not facing the possibility of spending the rest of her life in prison, that would be Zimmerman. The account between the friend and Zimmerman are different. Zimmerman claims that Trayvon asked him if he had a problem and then said well you do now. The friend claims that Trayvon asked why are you following me. In Zimmerman's account Tryavon is hostile. In the friend's account Trayvon is asking a question that any normal human being would ask when being followed by a stranger. There is a major disconnect between the two and out of the two only one has a reason to lie, IMO.
MOO
Two quick things...
1) Based on statements made in this thread, I was under the impression that it was some weeks (three?) before she spoke to anyone - at least in LE - and that the conversation didn't occur until after the police were able to get into TM's phone and determined that he had been talking to someone at her number.
I apologize if I misunderstood, but that's the impression I got from previous posts.
2) I have not accused her of lying - not at all. However, I disagree with your assessment that she has nothing to hide, therefore, she must be telling the truth. If my #1 is correct, she had three weeks to play the conversation over in her head, and usually, I think people tend to mentally emphasize pieces of information that they deem relevant as they replay conversations in their head. It's human nature.
She *probably* has nothing to hide. I have not seen anything to make me think she does. That said, it's impossible to know what they were talking about. They were kids, and he had been shipped off to another home (his dad's fiance's) because he was in trouble with school administrators. He wasn't a squeaky clean boy. We don't know if she was a squeaky clean girl. We have no evidence about her character at all. Absolutely none, good or bad, so to characterize their conversation in any way is to presume facts not in evidence.
Also, I think it would be human nature to want to preserve the memory of a deceased friend and to feel protective of their honor. Especially if it was a person one was especially close to. Just as many here on this forum 'read' things in a certain light depending on whether their 'loyalties' lie with GZ or TM, it's entirely possible - likely, even - that the statements TM said to her on the phone and the tone she detected in his voice were tempered by her loyalty to him.
It doesn't make her bad or a liar. It would just mean that she is human.
