ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.

The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.

Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.

What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.

The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.

It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.

Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.

And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.

But one man's testimony could be key for the police.

"The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.

Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.

The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.

His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman.

"When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.

Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.

Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.

If someone was following me I would be defend myself too.

And now his friend is saying Zimemerman is 40 pounds lighter and Trayvon is taller than him. So now they trying to paint Trayvon as this monster. SMH

This is some sick s***..I see what they are trying to do. And this looks like its gonna turn into another Rodney King situation. Scary...

It doesn't negate the fact that this fool Zimmerman was following Trayvon like a perv and approached him aggressively. It sounds like that little boy was beating the stuffing out of that grown man trying to defend HIMSELF and Zimmerman resorted to pulling out his gun and shooting Trayvon. So if I get attacked and start to defend myself successfully, and my attacker has a weapon and kills me, he's free to walk the streets in Florida. WTF!

So who are we gonna believe here? The kid with skittles in his pocket or the grown man following him and in possession of a loaded gun?? There could've been a struggle, possibly Trayvon fending off that grown ass weirdo who was following him around like a damn pedo.. I think we'd all start swinging if some stranger was following us... He was struggling with a child yet he had enough strength and opportunity to pull his gun out... 

WOW! I have never been so disgusted in my life...Zimmerman was much heavier than Trayvon, not the mention is a grown f****** man attacking a teenage! They all need to do themselves a favor and...

didn't know a can of tea & a bag of skittles were deemed lethal weapons...what's sad, the way ppl are trying to spin the story, Zimmerman might not face time which is truly sad.  If the grand jury doesn't rule in favor of justice for Trayvon, I'm sad to say a riot will ensue....

 

each time I read about the situation it makes my skin crawl

Here's the issue they'll never get past: Why was Zimmerman f****** following Trayvon?! He should have kept his fat, crazy ass at home. He had NO RIGHT to follow someone. WITH A GUN.

 

His dumb ass might be set free but his life will be a living hell. How can they let this unstable piece of s*** walk the streets? He was looking for a fight and got one, so his cowardly ass pulled out a gun and shot a minor. You can look at that boy's face and you knew that was a baby.

 

I don't care if Zimmerman was fuschia and Trayvon was Yellow, he invaded his privacy. He wasn't doing a damn thing that other kids in that neighborhood probably don't do. This guy is an insane fucktard that they're going to let walk free.

Agree..

This s*** right here is NUTS... he gets out the car, approaches him, even if Trayvon beat the breaks off of him he approached him. It wasn't like Trayvon pulled him out of the car. I guess if Trayvon started running like his girlfriend told him to do Zimmerman would have shot him in his back.

This is such a frustrating story.... and sad one.

RIP Trayvon

If Zimmerman hadn't followed Trayvon, he wouldn't have needed to allegedly defend himself. If Zimmerman gets off based on this law there's going to be a LOT of appeals in FL, b/c now numerous killers can say "oh I shot so and so at point blank range b/c I was defending myself." You can't scream self defense when you're the one who instigated/prompted the fight.  Where is the lady that also saw the entire incident and the police didn't want to take her statement? She told a completely different story. This entire case is sickening, and Zimmerman will never be safe b/c if he gets off, someone is going to kill him, he may have a better chance of living in prison.

AmeriKKKa the beautiful....this is such bullsh*t. All of it.. His friends that have now all of the sudden appeared etc. they are playing a dirty dirty game. Things are about to get hectic... if they let this man walk free with no reporcussions.

That child was not involved in an altercation with that man and if he was where are the medical records for these alleged injuries he suffered since they are releasing everything else
