9. it's horrendous

Even when I first heard it when it came out in the media long before the trial it made my skin crawl. God almighty, I can't even imagine his parents having listened to that. To have to listen to their kid's own screams and the gunshot that ended his life. Ugh.

Despite the obvious that it had to be Martin screaming simply because of the abrupt end of the screams with the gunshot it still sounds like a child's voice especially after hearing what Zimmerman's voice is like. How such a parade of Zimmerman's friends and relatives could have gotten on that stand and lied with a straight face that the screaming was George is beyond me. That's the voice of a youngster. Had I not known the characters in the story and just heard the tape I would even have thought the voice was that of a female. It's that much not like a grown man's voice even a grown man in terror.

Jesus. That is a kid screaming. CurtEastPoint Jul 2013 #2

I have not heard it before and I have followed the news. CurtEastPoint Jul 2013 #3

Yes, he is. He's screaming his heart out for his very life. NYC_SKP Jul 2013 #5

No wonder the defense doesn't want the jury to use their common sense. n/t chieftain Jul 2013 #6

Didn't others testify that was Zimmerman screaming? flvegan Jul 2013 #7

Testimony from witnesses about what they think they remember hearing is one thing. NYC_SKP Jul 2013 #11

If they did, they were lying their asses off Hugabear Jul 2013 #12

an entire parade of unbelievable friends and family TorchTheWitch Jul 2013 #13

yes, Zimmerman's mom testified that it was George screaming hfojvt Jul 2013 #20

I assure you that I'm neither. So what I'm reading is flvegan Jul 2013 #36

sure most people are going to deny hfojvt Jul 2013 #40

I get your point, but let me ask you this... DearAbby Jul 2013 #70

Your question undermines the case of the prosecution. flvegan Jul 2013 #87

I believe that scream came from a person who knew he had only seconds to live DearAbby Jul 2013 #88

And that is a fair and reasonable opinion to come to. flvegan Jul 2013 #91

Are you being sarcastic? merrily Jul 2013 #39

see my post above hfojvt Jul 2013 #42

I think Zimmerman's mom has the greater incentive. merrily Jul 2013 #45

I think they are all lying. Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2013 #54

Someone winning a fight who saw a gun pointing at his heart might scream. merrily Jul 2013 #66

If it was George why would he stop screaming after the shot. NYC_SKP Jul 2013 #19

why would he keep screaming hfojvt Jul 2013 #22

He still needs help, the police were called and he needed for them to find him. NYC_SKP Jul 2013 #24

that's not an urgent need hfojvt Jul 2013 #30

Your argument makes sense cpwm17 Jul 2013 #76

Because Georgie boy said he didn't think he hit him. George is full of it, and a bigoted gun nut. Hoyt Jul 2013 #28

Good point. nt. polly7 Jul 2013 #32

but he also said that hfojvt Jul 2013 #33

Whoa, I missed that. If that is true, Zimmerman should get life where Papillon was imprisoned. Hoyt Jul 2013 #71

Exactly, Hoyt. Vox Moi Jul 2013 #34

A direct, 90 degree hit to the heart from close range and he thought he missed. bushisanidiot Jul 2013 #81

I don't buy that argument cpwm17 Jul 2013 #27

GZ didn't think Trayvon was dead. moondust Jul 2013 #31

Who's more likely to stop screaming in the MIDDLE of the scream? Nevernose Jul 2013 #41

Insanity or denial. moondust Jul 2013 #43

That's my thinking, too. TroglodyteScholar Jul 2013 #98

There is no reliable evidence that trayvon was ever on top of zimmerman bushisanidiot Jul 2013 #82

GZ received injuries to the back of his head from somewhere cpwm17 Jul 2013 #83

Those injuries were minor and could have been self inflicted. bushisanidiot Jul 2013 #84

I think it sounds like GZ cpwm17 Jul 2013 #56

Is that based on your long-term experience being around George Zimmerman?? MjolnirTime Jul 2013 #59

GZ has a very subtle hispanic accent in the scream and when he talks cpwm17 Jul 2013 #61

From the very first time I heard that 911 call, I thought it was a younger person's voice. Grammy23 Jul 2013 #29

Well according to a Zim fan here on DU Kingofalldems Jul 2013 #35

What I found interesting was at least two witnesses thought the screaming was a boy Quixote1818 Jul 2013 #38

That useless blob screamed like a boy, or so he says. tblue Jul 2013 #49
