Chief witness in Trayvon Martin case lied under oath
(CNN) -- The state's chief witness in the Trayvon Martin murder case lied under oath, prosecutors say.
The young woman who says she was on the phone with Martin when he encountered George Zimmerman lied about her whereabouts at another time, the prosecution told a judge Tuesday.
The woman, whose name has not been released, had told prosecutors that she was in the hospital on the day of Martin's funeral. The defense then sought her medical records.
In court on Tuesday, the state said the woman, known as Civilian Witness 8, was not in the hospital, so there are no such records to be turned over.
Prosecutors did not immediately respond to a question Wednesday from CNN about the witness's credibility and how this may affect the case.
Ok. They nailed her for lying about the hospital visit. If she really was on the phone with Martin like she says (if that even matters) wouldn't there be a record of that phone call?
