Hearsay would be if George Zimmerman’s dad testified his son told him that Martin threatened his life. It’s second hand information.

George Zimmerman testifying that he heard the threatening words directly from Martin is not hearsay.

Yes, that is what is on this video link, It may be true, but what you heard is hearsay, and is judicially inadmissible.

We did not hear what George told his father. We only heard his father describe the gist of what he says his son told him. It was not a verbatim report of what his son said. We do not yet know what George will say under oath. This video post was all hearsay.

If this case were to go to trial,Robert Zimmerman’s testimony about Trayvon threatening George will go a long way in making the case for self defense. (Uncle Slayton)

Robert Zimmerman cannot give testimony about what George heard. Only George can give that testimony.
