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.

I hope in the end this man ends up in jail, because now they're saying it's more than one witness who can back up Zimmerman's story which is a bunch of BS

Exactly!!!

Thank you! Wouldn't this be considered Trayvon standing HIS ground?!

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.

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... 

I agree with everyone..where's the eyewitness to who allegedly hit/grab/pushed who first.  You cant judge who was the aggressor was based on who was getting there ass kicked.  Either way, he should be in jail. If a man is beating a woman ass, and she shoots him, she is still going to jail initially, even if she claims self-defense...this dude never saw a hour in jail.

Sadly, if Trayvon had lived he'd be in jail right now. I don't know if he is getting the lesser of two evils because this justice system is NUTS. I'm almost glad he's not alive to witness this smear campaign...how awful for a child to go through!

And frankly, if Zimmerman had all of these injuries how come he wasn't asked to go to the hospital? If he had head injuries wouldn't paramedics have taken him to the hospital to be checked out and make sure he didn't have a concussion? If Trayvon was whooping up on him like he says, how do we explain Trayvon screaming from help in the 911 call? How come NONE of the 911 calls can verify Zimmerman's story? Yeah, lies. 

His friend said that was Zimmerman screaming not Trayvon... smh

The black panthers put out a $10,000 bounty for Zimmerman. I just really have a feeling that no charges are going to be brought against him or if he is charged with something he will get a lesser sentence... I cant even think about this without getting sick to my stomach.

I didn't see Oliver on GMA, but I was able to catch him on Today & I think Extra... The thing that kills me is that 1. You say without a shadow of a doubt, GZ isn't a racist... 2. GZ would never racial profile... BUUUUT... Oliver didn't know that GZ was denied the chance to be a cop & he didn't know that GZ owned a gun.... What the f*** kinda friend is that????? If I know a b**** well enough to defend her on national tv you can bet I'll know all the basics!!! Oliver ain't s***!!! He's actually worse than GZ cause he's assisting this murderer when he doesn't have to... 

As far as I'm concerned GZ was told by 911 not to follow Trayvon!!!!! His punk ass should've listened!!! 

PS... Notice GZ didn't have any witnesses until Trayvon's girl & Mary Curtcher spoke up... SMH 

Look at this damn video girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW5BQs6tCdA&feature=player_embedded

This fool said that he didn't call him a coon he called him a goon which is a term of endearment.. such a crock of crap. I seriously can't believe it.

Oliver & his daughter are idiots... Even if GZ did say "goon" do you really want me to believe that he used a term of "endearment" towards a child that he had just said looked like he was on drugs...

Since when does a man with a gun feel 'powerless'????

Since when does a man with a 9 MILLI FUKIN METER GUN yell  HELP??

BINGO!!! Someone I feel threatened by Imma run in the opposite direction.
