Witnesses in Trayvon Martin Case Coached

The question is now being raised concerning witnesses in the Trayvon Martin case whether there was coaching involved by the prosecution. It seems four witnesses have changed or evolved their stories in such a way that their initial stories supporting Zimmerman, now seem weakened.

I know that one witness had initially said Zimmerman was certainly on the bottom of the altercation she saw but, then changed her mind after seeing the news and was convinced that the bigger man, Zimmerman was on top. If we look at the time of this change, we see that the news was inaccurately reporting both Zimmerman's and Trayvon's size. We now know that Trayvon was larger.

Witness 1
Original story: Witness saw two persons scuffle but didn't know "which one" was on top of the other during the scuffle. 
New story: Witness says she is sure it was Zimmerman on top. 
Witness 2
Original story: Witness spotted Zimmerman with "blood on the back of his head." Zimmerman told this witness that Martin "was beating up on me, so I had to shoot him." 
New story: Witness describes Zimmerman's demeanor as nonchalant, "More like, 'just tell my wife I shot somebody' like it was nothing." 
Witness 3
Original story: "I saw two guys running. Couldn't tell you who was in front, who was behind." After stepping away from her window, she looked again and "saw a fistfight. Just fists. I don't know who was hitting who." In a second interview by police, she stated that during the chase, the two figures were 10 feet apart. 
New story: She did not see two people running, just one person, whom she heard more than saw. "I couldn't tell you if it was a man, a woman, a kid, black or white. I couldn't tell you because it was dark and because I didn't have my contacts on or glasses. I just know I saw a person out there." 
Witness 4
Original story: Witness states that on the night of the shooting that Martin was on top, "just throwing down blows on the guy, MMA-style." Witness also recalled that Zimmerman was calling for help. 
New story: Witness tells prosecution he isn't sure who was calling for help.
Obviously witnesses are known to question themselves and it is common to find some additional details that could not be recalled before but, all four of these particular witnesses altering their stories in such a way that just so happens to weaken the defense?

Personally, I think this prosecutor is nasty and out for political power. She wants to go after Zimmerman for a career booster. There is, nor has there ever been, a desire for justice. Railroading someone and taking away their rights when no evidence of their guilt is found is anything but justice.
