May 2012

Trayvon Martin's own father said it was not him yelling for help, Trayvon's mother said it was. The lawyers are going to have a field day with so many stories being out there.

The fathers of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman gave Sanford, Fla., police their opinions about the person who was crying for help in 911 tapes of the Feb. 26 confrontation that ended with the shooting death of 17-year-old Martin, according to documents released by the special prosecutor in the case.

Neither said the voice was that of 17-year-old Martin, the New York Times reports. Zimmerman’s father said he thought the voice belonged to his son. Martin’s mother, however, has said it was her son who was screaming on the tapes. An analysis by an FBI lab was not able to make an identification; nor was it able to determine whether Zimmerman uttered a racial slur while pursuing Martin, whom he considered to be suspicious.

Zimmerman may not walk because his story has changed so many times Quixote1818 May 2012 #3

I hope your right. Justice needs to be served. I don't think he wanted to kill him but southernyankeebelle May 2012 #4

I think he went out looking for a victim... Kalidurga May 2012 #5

I agree with you there. Had this idiot stayed in the car none of this would have gone down. southernyankeebelle May 2012 #9

So basically, probably NO witnesses could actually see who was yelling for help Quixote1818 May 2012 #6

I would not want to be on this jury. IcyPeas May 2012 #7

The police report said the father was visibly distressed when he heard the crying Quixote1818 May 2012 #8

Yes, conflicting, changing statements give plenty of room for effective cross examination. amandabeech May 2012 #10
