A speech expert for George Zimmerman’s defense called it “imaginary stuff” to claim that slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin can be heard begging for help in 911 audio.
George Doddington refuted analysis from a state witness who testified that he detected Martin screaming “I’m begging you” on a 911 call.
“That’s imaginary stuff,” Doddington said during a pretrial in Sanford, Fla. Friday, calling the methodology to detect the audio — using another recording of Martin’s voice — “absurd,” ABC News reported.
George Zimmerman claims he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot the unarmed teenager last year; Martin’s family says he was killed in cold blood by a man who racially profiled him.
Both sides are fighting over the screaming captured on the 911 audio. If it’s determined to belong to Martin, it could indicate Zimmerman was the aggressor, but if it’s determined to be Zimmerman, it could mean he was fighting for his life, as he has claimed.
Jury selection in the second-degree murder trial begins Monday, more than 15 months after the shooting that ignited racial tensions and set off protests throughout the country.
WHAT! This so called expert will now have to be debunked. How dare him say such a thing. Probably (if you look real hard) he’s a kkk member or something. You just know he hates black people.
“That’s imaginary stuff”

That not only applies to the screaming they thought was Martin’s; it applies to the prosecutor’s entire case.
I read an article the other day that said one of the experts just couldn’t stop laughing at the ridiculous methodology of one of the prosecution’s “experts”.
I’m guessing the brand of gun is racist too. Probably killed more blacks than white/Hispanics.
You were probably reading Legal Insurrection
Summary of the excellent testimony of the defense witnesses and the ridiculous testimony of the prosecution witness
Let’s see....there are one of two possibilities here.
1. Trayvon Martin, while on top of Zimmerman pounding on him MME style and pounding his head into the concrete, yells “help, please, somebody help me”.
or
2. Zimmerman, having his head pounded into the concrete by a stanger on top of him, yells for help.
Which sounds more likely?
Forget audio forensics, are we to believe Martin is screaming for help while smashing Zimerman’s head into the concrete?
Real unbiased reporting we have here.
Was TM a petite little unarmed teenager as implied here?
Or a large teenage thug beating Zimmerman's head into the concrete as the evidence indicates?

This one thing does not come close to getting a jury beyond a reasonable doubt regarding guilt, but then, an “excuse” is all that is needed to prevent the “jury tampering” accusations. I can’t tell you how many “seemingly rational” people I know voted for Obama in 2012 and their reason was that Romney would just be such a terrible mistake that they did not care WHO the democrat was. Sure, it’s a total cop out, but what are you gonna do?
Martins family has no idea what he was doing , His dad was shacked up with a girlfriend and no telling what his mother was up to. He was a thief a drug dealer and a mugger, if they knew it they didn’t care, but they have had some wonderful trips paid for by the TV shows.
Exactly. That has been my question: Why would Trayvon be screaming for help when he was—clearly—winning the fight?
where is it implied a petite little unarmed teenager?
Is it as fact that he was unarmed?
Was the article entirely fair to Zimmerman?
I’m not exactly sure what it is you expect from the article.
How about the unarmed but hulking teen who undoubtedly had multiple mixed martial championships in his future?
NBC is still praying Zimmerman can be played as 'white' conservative... they're wrong.
The kid leaves the house at 7:00 p.m. (likely to smoke some dope or case the neighborhood or both) to allegedly get some Skittles and the old man doesn't know the kid never returned until 8:00 a.m. the next morning when the cops called him to tell him his kid was killed the evening before.......
Nobody in the MSM has ever mentioned that fact.....
"Racial tensions and protests"? Pure BS, nobody cared about this case but the poverty pimps and Obama. If Obama would have kept his comments out of this all his fleas and ticks would not have jumped on Zimmerman. I have always wondered if Obama did not simply see the name "Zimmerman", think "Jew" and then did what Obama, a moslem, does naturally.
The concern over the Martin/Zimmerman situation is a farce anyway. I suggest that those that have issues with violence and wish to do something about it start by listening to the Chicago police scanner on any night. If you are brave try a Friday or Saturday night. It is a war zone and young black men in "hoodies" are killing each other and anyone else like there is no tomorrow. It is sickening.
If the defense is smart they will feature that 7 Eleven video prominently from beginning to end. It comes into play from start to finish — showing that he bought watermelon juice not iced tea, that he was closer to 6-3 not 5-11, and his voice saying “Hello” —
Why didn’t the state’s experts use this “Hello” at 7 Eleven to compare the the screaming “Help” that came later. They are phonetically identical — so why not use them. They occurred less than an hour apart — so why not test them against each other to see if they came from the same mouth.
Answer: I’m sure they did and they were not even close, and thus there was no mention of it in the Frye Hearing. They know that they are in deep trouble there.
Jury selection court live now on Orlando site....are you doing a live thread today?
I didn’t start a LIVE thread — just used this one:
