Her testimony contradicted prior written communications, including a letter she wrote earlier in the case.

She gave different accounts of what Martin first said to Zimmerman and vice-versa.

She has a demonstrated record of lying about other matters, including her age. Earlier this year, government lawyers had to acknowledge that she lied under oath when she claimed that the reason she did not attend Martin’s funeral was due to a hospitalization.

None of this means she is, per se, lying right now. However, it certainly allows the trier of fact to find her to be a non-credible witness. As doc pointed out, as a friend (or girlfriend) of Martin she has a motive (conscious or subconscious) to remember things inaccurately about the case.
