I haven’t listened to the tape, and 25 years on the flight line means my ears can’t hear anything that isn’t extremely clear anyways.
However, I have met some racists - but none of them would use the word ‘coon’ in talking to the authorities. Folks who talk like that are pretty good at concealing it, unless they are drunk - which is the only time I’ve heard someone say something like that.
Also, I find it highly improbable that the cops would have let the shooter walk free if there was ANY evidence the shooting wasn’t justified.
How many dead teenagers did Sanford have on file at that moment eh!,
Going beyond that there's this question of THE CELL PHONE. The lawyer has what he claims is a total phone log from the telephone company. He's waiting on the cops to get one too. In the meantime you can imagine he's faking it, or not. I Don't think he's faking it since he should be able to get such a report on behalf of the heir to the estate.
The cops seemed to have done nothing with the cellphone to find out who the kid was. Maybe you have some hard info on that ~ if so, show us where it's at. So, at the moment it's probably safe to say the cops didn't find the cellphone on the kid.
Now, who has that cellphone? Is it the cops, the undertaker, the family, Zimmerman perhaps?
Maybe that thing he had in his hand was a cellphone and he was taking a picture of Zimmerman ~ Hmm.
So many suppositions are possible and that's over just the cellphone.
The idea the cops didn't recover the cellphone is highly suggested by the fact they tagged Martin out as a John Doe (Unknown body).
