Zimmerman's team backs off video claim from Martin phone
In Orlando, George Zimmerman's lawyers said a video found on Trayvon Martin's cellphone shows two homeless men fighting over a bicycle, not Martin and a friend beating a homeless man as first described. They say Martin merely recorded the incident and the defense apologizes for the earlier misstatement. The video, cited as potential evidence in the second degree murder trial slated for June 10 in Sanford, adds context to prior accounts of Martin's involvement.
