ZIMMERMAN TRIAL: Day 10, Monday, July 8, 2013

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

264. Martin's father didn't have Crump there to advise him I would guess.

As far as accents go ,voices are altered sometimes without the awareness of the speaker.
Take the British accent for example- you may have noticed in many cases it is not there when the musician is singing-it being the British accent , oh, Elton John or Paul McCartney examples. Some people can alter their voice at will ,others cannot. Most actors can.

Every person processes a high pitch sound usually expressed through fear of something terrible about to happen that is imminent ,or say in battle such as a sword having been lunged through the body .On the part of the second ,it may only happen once.

Person's who lose an accent ,say because their locality changes ,example somebody from Alabama moving to southern California -eventually the Alabama accent isn't there anymore.
The voice in the manner of speaking ,-changes.
A traumatic experience can change or alter a voice in a matter of an instant.

That's the key.

Lastly ,I happened to notice that neither Martin's mother nor Zimmerman's mother claimed that one or the other definitively knew that voice because when one or the other was about to be punished by being spanked or in the olden days back in the last century sometimes a strap was used when the child was very bad -,the child's voice came on in just that way when he was little. Or after having fallen off of a tricycle or fallen out of a tree -regarding sound of the voice on the recording. There was no point of reference with regards to a point to fact by either
Zimmerman's mother or Martin's mother.

I really don't think the jury will lend much credibility to either testimony about who thinks who it was. Going with the science is the best way to go on that one.
