SANFORD, Fla. - Four key witnesses in the second-degree-murder case against George Zimmerman have made major changes in what they say they saw and heard the night Zimmerman fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, The Orlando Sentinel is reporting.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, three new witness accounts could damage Zimmerman's defense.

The Sentinel reports a fourth witness abandoned her initial story, that she saw one person chasing another. Now, she says she saw a single figure running.
