This whole thing reminds me of " Paul is dead" . The listener will hear what they want to hear.
Play it backwards and it says ' Florida is a bunch of crackpots".

Photos: What the Zimmerman jury won't know
The jury in the George Zimmerman trial will see a lot of evidence related to the night Trayvon Martin was killed -- but there's also a lot of very compelling and provocative information that the jury may never see.

June 7, 2013

 
Throughout the course of this trial, a lot of evidence related to the night of the killing will be presented in court. But there's also a lot of very compelling and provocative information out there that the jury will never see (at least not in court). Judge Debra Nelson already ruled that the jury will not hear evidence related to Martin's past, including his school suspension, prior marijuana use, history of fighting and his familiarity with guns. However, the judge did say that she may allow some of it in court if the defense can find a way around the hearsay rules of evidence. Many of these photos show Martin with drugs, smoking and holding a gun. They were taken from his cell phone.

Regarding Zimmerman's background -- his criminal past, including domestic violence allegations against him, will not be allowed in court.

During the trial, the jury also won't know what sentence Zimmerman is facing as they weigh the evidence and decide whether he's guilty of second-degree murder.

George Zimmerman trial: Hearing on audio experts continues
2:51 p.m. EDT, June 7, 2013

Attorneys are back in court in the George Zimmerman second-degree murder case this afternoon, for a hearing to determine whether jurors will hear testimony about who was screaming in the background of a 911 call seconds before Trayvon Martin was shot.

This afternoon, Alan R. Reich, likely the state's most important and controversial expert witness, is testifying. He says it was likely Trayvon screaming in the background of the call, and claims to be able to decipher what the teen and Zimmerman were saying.

Among Reich's findings, according to his report: Zimmerman "makes a seemingly religious proclamation, 'These shall be,'" about one second into the 911 call, while simultaneously Trayvon yells a "distressed, and tremulous 'I'm begging you.'"

His report also says the last cry before the gunshot was likely Trayvon's voice, and the teen was yelling "stop."

In his testimony this afternoon, Reich said that "the words that were at a scream level were almost all" Trayvon, though he said that determination was tentative, because the conditions weren't ideal.

On cross examination, he elaborated that it is "not possible to reach a definitive conclusion" based on the audio available in the case.

How many 911 calls did GZ make that night? I have only heard the one full version.

Unless the state has another one that has not been released to the public, I don't understand how someone can say they heard GZ say something he very clearly did not.

And in the 911 call where you hear a person screaming in the background, I believe it to be GZ screaming because he is getting hit etc.

I don't hear anyone saying "I'm begging you" or "stop" etc. unless they have some sort of machine that makes the 911 call more clearer.

3:51 p.m. ET: Reich said the 911 call in Zimmerman's case provided enough audio to provide an analysis.

3:47 p.m. ET: Reich is having trouble hearing West, and he has asked West to repeat himself mutliple times.

3:43 p.m. ET: Reich said he has specific ways he conducts his analysis, and he says it difficult to establish a specific standards that would work for every case.

Reich also said he has no set standards when making speaker identification analysis.  He says he does not require  a minimum set of words or minimum duration of speech to reach a conclusion.

By comparison, the FBI requires 20 words and at least 16 seconds of speech

4:33 p.m. ET: West is asked Nelson if he considered the fact that Zimmerman may have been punched in the face the night of the shooting, and it may have changed his speech or the nasal quality of his voice. Reich said he couldn't detect any nasality of the recording of the 911 call.

If another expert can corrborate what this voice expert is saying then the audio should be played for the jury and expert analysis given.  If it is Trayvon's voice then he deserves for his last and final screams to be heard.

I fear there could be a whole line of "experts" and some will say it's Trayvon and some won't.  Do we stop with one other expert or do we keep going?  It doesn't appear to me to be an exacting science at this time.  And if it isn't Trayvon screaming, then that's a real game changer.  George Zimmerman also deserves justice in the sense he should have a fair trial.  JMHO

What if it is George Zimmerman crying out for help?  Don't his cries deserve to be heard too?  I don't have enough information yet to know what went on and I can't see how anyone else would either.   Some peoples minds are made up already.    There hasn't even been a trial.  We are in the very early stages of this case.  There has been so much misinformation bandied about.  If something is repeated enough times, then some believe it to be the truth when it hasn't been verified/authenticated etc.  Remember when it was put in the media George used the word "coon" and it went viral.  And it turned out he didn't say it.  But it seems to stick in people's minds. That was just one small example, there is more. 

This case is a real tragedy.  Yes, there was a seventeen year old shot to death and George Zimmerman pulled the trigger.  But how did it get to that point?  We don't know yet.
