Experts to review 911 tapes in Florida teen's shooting

The Florida special prosecutor investigating the Trayvon Martin shooting is bringing in independent voice analysis experts to enhance 911 tapes to learn more about the actions of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed the teen.

Angela Corey, who was appointed by Republican Gov. Rick Scott to investigate the shooting, said the experts will examine two potentially crucial aspects of the eight calls made to 911: a racial epithet Zimmerman might have muttered while talking to a dispatcher minutes before shooting the unarmed 17-year-old, and the screams in the background of calls that residents made to police during the incident.

In at least one call to police before officers arrived at the scene in Sanford, Fla., screams can be heard.

Martin's parents say the voice is their son yelling for help; a friend of Zimmerman's has said it is Zimmerman screaming.

The Justice Department and the FBI also are investigating the incident.

Allegations have been made that Zimmerman used a racial epithet on the call, but the tape is unclear. If an epithet can be heard clearly on an enhanced recording, it could be evidence of a hate crime, the officials said.

F*ck these haters I’ll kill ‘em all if I could!

Good God! It's a line from a song by Jeezy!!

"F*ck these haters / I'd kill 'em all if I could / Ain't scared of none of y'all, so you know my aim's good / Blowin Bin Laden, yeah my Porsche 9/11 / Just left Ground Zero on my way to kush heaven."

I have no idea who Jeezy is - thankfully I don’t know trash/hate or listen to it! But the kid who was shot did and embraced it.

Evidence of a hate crime? How about Trayvons tweets:

Maybe it's evidence he listens to rap music ... and like a lot of other teens posts lines from the songs. There's troube in River City ....

BOB MARLEY, Y U NO SHOOT THE DEPUTY? Since it peaked to Bilboard's #1 song in 1974, I thought everyone knew Bob Marley's song "I shot the sheriff / but I didn't shoot no deputy". Even Eric Clapton did a version of it.

So by your reasoning, if I posted:


“That one looks Jewish!
And that one’s a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There’s one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I’d have all of you shot! “


just prior to shooting a Jewish or black person, we could all simply dismiss it as “lots of people listen to Pink Floyd”?
