His story is just too convenient for him and the death threat makes little sense given the facts (Zimmerman was armed and Trayvon knew that at the time according to Zman. At no time did Martin touch the weapon or control it). But the burden of proof is on the prosecution to show that he made false statements. And proving that he made false statements does not remove the possibility that he still acted in self defense which I personally believe.
