If GZ did start the physical altercations that would make him an aggressor. But there are no witnesses who can provide evidence of that.

I beg to differ.

Mary Cutcher and Selma Mora Lamilla live in the gated community where Trayvon Martin was killed. Mary was one of the people who called 911. They both say the police were siding with George Zimmerman from the start. I spoke to Mary and Selma about what they saw and they heard on that day.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
COOPER: So you heard some sort of whining, some sort of commotion outside? MARY CUTCHER, NEIGHBOR: I was in the kitchen with the window open and the blinds pulled. So we had complete view from outside.
COOPER: What was the first thing you saw?
SELMA LAMILLA, NEIGHBOR: By that time, like shot -- like some other noise.
COOPER: You heard the gunshot?
Lamilla: Yes. And I run away from my backyard, and when I just get into the point of my -- like my screen, it stopped me, I look at that person on his knees on top of a body.
COOPER: So you saw Mr. Zimmerman on top of Trayvon Martin?
LAMILLA: Exactly.
COOPER: When you say on top of, how so?
LAMILLA: He was...
CUTCHER: Straddling him.
LAMILLA: Exactly.
COOPER: His legs were straddling him?
CUTCHER: One on each side, on his knees, with his hands on his back. I immediately thought, OK, maybe -- obviously, if it's the shooter, he would have ran. I thought maybe he's holding the wound, helping the guy, taking a pulse, making sure he's OK. And when she called to him three times, "Everything OK? What's going on?" Each time he looked back, didn't say anything.
And then the third time he finally said, "Call the police."
LAMILLA: But at that time it was so dark. I just saw this person. When she started calling the police, I saw Zimmerman walking with -- touching like his hair, like kind of like confused back and forth to the body. And -- and...
COOPER: So he was sort of pacing back and forth?
LAMILLA: Yes. Like, like -- oh, my God.
CUTCHER: He's pace and go back to the body and just like -- I don't know if he was kind of "Oh, my God, what did I do? What happened?"
LAMILLA: Something like that.
COOPER: So you didn't hear or see any altercation, any struggle?
LAMILLA: No.
COOPER: You only heard the cry, or the whimpering as you describe it, and then the shot?
CUTCHER: Yes.
COOPER: So you believe whatever altercation or tussle or whatever there was, you believe that happened elsewhere, but you didn't witness it?
CUTCHER: I believe that it had -- it had to have started from where the first person that called 911 and said, "There's a fight right outside my porch."
COOPER: How far away is that person?
CUTCHER: It's a couple doors down. And from that point to where his body was, you know, two or three doors down, it's hard for me to believe that -- and at the time that we heard the whining and then the gunshot, we did not hear any wrestling, no punching, fighting, nothing to give -- make it sound like there was a fight.
COOPER: When police now have said -- you gave an interview to a local station. Police have said what you said in that interview, what you're saying now is -- is contradicting what you told them early on. That your initial statement to police actually backs up George Zimmerman's version of events.
CUTCHER: Actually, when that was released I called the PR guy for the chief of police, and I demanded that they retract it and print the truth.
COOPER: They say that when they initially contacted you, that you didn't want to make any kind of a statement.
CUTCHER: They never...
LAMILLA: Can I say something about it? It's because that why I just decided to speak in public. I was the one that I never wanted to...
KUTCHER: She was the one...
COOPER: You didn't want to make a statement?
LAMILLA: Exactly. Well, I did, because she wanted (ph), but I didn't want to be in cameras.
COOPER: Right.
LAMILLA: When she said, we need to help the family, I said no, I don't want to go in the cameras.
COOPER: So when police say that your initial statement backs up Zimmerman's...
CUTCHER: I don't know how it's any different from what I said in the original interview, when I did...
COOPER: So what you're saying now tonight is the same as what you told the police initially?
CUTCHER: Absolutely. I said nothing different. The only thing I can think of that would have any difference whatsoever is they asked me how would you know that it was Trayvon that was whining? And I said, "I don't know. I guess because it stopped when the gun went off." And if it were Zimmerman crying, because he was hurt or something, I think he would have continued. I don't know.
What I heard was a very young voice and it stopped immediately when the gun went off.
COOPER: Based on what you saw -- and again, you didn't see a struggle -- do you believe it was self-defense? On Zimmerman's part?
CUTCHER: I did not.
COOPER: Why?
CUTCHER: Originally, I didn't believe it was self-defense because of what we saw when we walked out on the porch. If it was self-defense, why was he on his -- on Trayvon's back?
COOPER: What was your -- your impression of the police's attitude towards this? Did you form an impression?
CUTCHER: They were siding with him.
