just wanted to know if this was the same un-named experts that created a new race “white hispanic”, doctored the audio of the 911 call to make Zimmerman seem racist, or keep using pictures of a 12 yr old Trayvon?

My liberal father said and I quote, “Zimmerman is guilty because the only reason anyone would go out at night with a loaded gun is to commit murder.” Yeah, he actually believes that.

Supposedly Trayvon’s father say it isn’t Trayvon’s voice. I haven’t seen the article that quotes him but I’m sure some FReeper can find it and post it here.

I saw the same thing.

Early on, before the race hustlers descended on this case, the police asked Trayvon's father if he recognized the voice screaming for help, on the recording of the neighbor's 911 call, as Trayvon's. The father's answer was no, it was not Trayvon's voice.

Clearly this was a boo-boo from the race-hustlers' point of view. Trayvon's mother had to be trotted out to "correct" the story by contradicting the earlier statement (much as she had to "correct" her "it was an accident" admission).

I hope somebody preserved those news articles here on FR. If not, they might have disappeared down the Orwellian memory hole.

By the time you factor in margin of error, saying there’s a 48% chance that it was GZ is statistically the same thing as saying there’s a 1 in 2 chance that it was GZ and a 1 in 2 chance that it was TM.

You could get the same result by drawing straws. Which would be just as admissible in court as this would.

Tom Owen has worked with the FBI and other federal agencies, police departments, private detectives, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and news organizations. Many courts have designated him as an expert witness.

In 1981 the New York Police Department asked him to help decipher a surveillance tape involving the Weather Underground, an extremist group. That case led to more forensic work. Owen has confirmed the identity of Osama bin Laden on communiques from the terrorist.

But the two fellows who are wagist now seem to have the final word on everything. If they say Owen is a quack, then it must be true.

While I can appreciate your zeal about this subject, you might either A:)slow down your typing speed or B:)do not drink while responding to articles on FR:). The third alternative is to really proof read your comments before you click on post:)

I undestand hte frustration- (which is why I’m so interested in this case and developing circumstances-) It does seem that you’;re rigth- this case can no longer be tried in court because they will not be able to find an unbiased jury

[[Yes, she can get off scott free, if the prosecution can’t produce enoguh evidence to prove what you allege.]]

It was pretty obvious to msot people who watched the trial all the way through enough evidence was presentred for conviction which is why a great majority of those hwo followed it were stunned at the verdict- it was also obvious to those watchign that Cindy lied repeatedly and was coverign up for her daughter- but we’re talking abotu zimmerman, not casey- Even some of the jurors who voted not guilty were doubtful of their own convictions abotu hte case, and cited crap and false reasons as their excuse for voting liek htey did- The prosecution did their job well enough- it was the lamebrained jurors who failed to bring justice

[[Which ought to be good news for Zimmerman, because it’s pretty clear there’s no evidence in the world to pin murder 2 on him.]]

It shoudl be good news, and hopefully will be, however, there is the issue of implied threats from the left and black comunity that if he is not convicted, there wil lbe hell to pay- so who jknows what’s goign to happen in htis case- As a juror, they will be takign hteir lives in their hands sitting on this case because htere is only one verdict that will be allowed by the left- guilty

[[The father’s lawyer claims he never told police that the voice was not his son, but only that the recording wasn’t clear enough for him to know if it was his son.]]

I thought I remembered back early i nthe case that hte father said it was ‘definately not’ his son’s voice- when he was first questioned by the police- Wish htere was transcripts of everythign that went down so we’d know for sure- but I fully expect the father will now lie abotu what he first said liek htem other is now lying mostl iekly due to pressure to lie from the left- I had a tiny bit of hope that the parents would want the actual truth to emerge, but now it appears they too are not interested in findign hte truth

[[Furthermore, it would make no sense whatsoever for GZ to brazenly threaten TM at gunpoint after GZ had already called the cops to come and knew they would be there any minute.]]

It woudl seem standing back from the case and anylizing it now with rational minds- but in heatr of moment things coudl have been different- They werren’t different as we know from the evidence, but just saying it’sw hard to predict what someoen might do when undfer pressure-

[[And it makes no sense for GZ to have the injuries he had in that case either.]]

Which is more evidence things went down exactly as he said- especially given that htere’s an eyewitness corroborating his story

[[Voice analysis instruments and voice stress analyzers are notoriously inaccurate. Their results are not admissible in a court of law]]

Thanks, I wasn’t awar of that- that makes me more comfortable abotu the situation then- however, they can still use it to ‘plant hte seed’ i nthe minds of jurors I’m afraid- Which would be ethically unjust, but since when does mob rule go by ethical standards?

[[question: why would somebody WINNING winning a fight be crying fort help???]]

Just playing devil’s advocate for a second- he would not have been winning at hte point hte gun was drawn and would have started screaming- that is what the defense will argue,

but liek many have said i nthe thread, there is evidence to show it was NOT infact martin screaming, but zimmerman- the eyewitness and hte injurioes all point to zimmerman beign hte one who was screaming

A study at Cambridge I think it was showed that it doesn’t matter whagt position the letters are in, or if there;s morel etters, as long as the first letter and last letter of a word is right, then our brains can read the sentences just fine- (snd I contend, probably is better for us as it would seem to strengthen the brain as the brain tries to decifer the owrds o nthe fly) of course none of thap pllalies to my attrocious typing skills- but just a bit of trivia- so think of it as my tryign to help you retain brain function lol you need not thank me

This page is from the website of the expert that both CNN and the paper used http://www.experts.com/Articles/Voice-Identification-The-Aural-Spectrographic-Method-By-Thomas-J-Owen You’ll note how his comments about this case disagree with his writings on this page. Florida uses the Frye Test and if Holder goes after him then the Federal Standard (Daubert I think) will apply to any prosecution by the Feds. The guys software isn’t approved in any court from what I’ve read.

Here is another couple website on Frye: www.wcl.american.edu/journal/lawrev/26/decker.pdf
