The girlfriend could have made up details . . . . .

No matter how honest she is or isn’t, her testimony would be hearsay and should not be used in court if challenged by the defense attorney. Travon Martin can not say if her version of the conversation is true or not.

There is no doubt that the prosecution will try to get her testimony in the record but I don’t believe it should be allowed in.

Technically it’s not hearsay, she is a first-person witness to what she heard through the phone line.
