Trayvon Martin shooting: It's not George Zimmerman crying for help on 911 recording, 2 experts say
Chicago Tribune ^ | 3/31/12 | Jeff Weiner

As the Trayvon Martin controversy splinters into a debate about self-defense, a central question remains: Who was heard crying for help on a 911 call in the moments before the teen was shot?

A leading expert in the field of forensic voice identification sought to answer that question by analyzing the recordings for the Orlando Sentinel.

His result: It was not George Zimmerman who called for help.

Self defense is voluntary or voluntary manslaughter?

Mr Zimmerman should have just lay there like a wet noodle. Too bad for him that a thug did what only a thug can do. Get violent.

I’m glad you’re a former prosecutor.

Heh, YOU know that and I know that (I didn’t even click on the link) but Mr. Duh either doesn’t know or views it as a valid source.

"The independent investigator may choose to release the evidence, to provide credibility to a no bill decision."

Well that should be interesting. I just hope whoever collected the evidence was on the ball because if someone botched even a small portion of it. Al and Jessie is gonna be good for a full week's Headlines.

I wonder if those calling for Zimmerman's head realize they might actually be screwing up a prosecution by tainting the jury pool and making a prosecutor reluctant to go to trial due to not wanting to appear to be bowing to biased public pressure.

GZ lost a security job because he was overzealous. Are posters defending Zimmerman or what? What’s the real reason to defend Zimmerman as more facts come out that aren’t so good for him?

The lead investigator was going to charge Zimmerman. The DA nixed it.

That almost has to be a lie. If he was guilty of violence against his girl friend he could not get a license to carry.

That simply has to be a lie. If he was even charged with that he would have to have been found not guilty to even purchase a gun much less pass muster for a concealed permit.

Either you are lying or who you are getting your info from is lying.

-- Zimmerman domestic violence too against a girlfriend. --

It was mutual. Both got no-contact orders. It'd be interesting to peek behind the scenes there to try to figure out which of the two started it.

Plus, DV really is not a good indicator of propensity to violence against strangers. "Things" happen at home, there is time for emotions to boil, tempers to flare, and where you gonna go when the skillets start flying?

Zimmerman had no reason to do an excruciating, painful kind of yell

Except two deep lacerations to the back of his head and the fear that he would be dead at the hands of this 6' 2 man bashing his head on the sidewalk if he couldn't get his gun. Thank God he did.

Reputation? lol After what I’ve witnessed in here? Stand in line everyone with a sterling reputation. Gee, no line... A reputation is if you have loose morals or do drugs or embezzle money. You think I care what a bunch of inflammatory posters think about me? hah. That’s rich.

We're defending the rule of law against the pitchfork mob. The minute someone posts any single Florida law broken by Zimmerman, along with evidence released to the public by police, that substantiates probable cause, then I will no longer call for Zimmerman to remain free.

That's secondary. The mission is agitate, not justice.

“The lead investigator was going to charge Zimmerman. The DA nixed it.”

Happens often. The reason being that DAs go to law school, and are trained to compare the facts of the case to the law whereas policemen are not.

Saw video of Zimmerman getting out of the auto in police custody. He didn’t look bloodied, back of head looked clean and unremarkable.

It was a domestic violence case where both he and his ex petitioned the court for restraining orders.

The case ended in a ‘null’ because both petitions were granted.

The article is posted earlier in this thread.
