Experts to review 911 tapes in Florida teen's shooting
twincities.com/Washington Post ^ | March 27, 2012 | Sari Horwitz

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.

What is Trayvon’s tweeting of “puss ass crackas”?

Love poetry?

Maybe he attacked Zimmerman because he hates whitey?

Perhaps the special persecutor should analyze...

Suddenly I’m reminded of what a witness said during the O.J. Simpson trial of what he heard outside the night of the murders.. “It sounded like a black man yelling”. And the courtroom went ‘ohhhhhh ahhhhhh hmmmmmmmm ooooh nooo!

Geez, we have on record, crystal clear hate utterances, made by the New Black Panthers, the Justice Brothers and many more.

I get a little concerned after the picture of him that wasn’t him made the rounds.

Are we sure the tweets are his?

I think there is more here than we know, even given the recorded calls (I have to do a mea culpa for my initial reaction). And the left saying this is because of Rush and Hannity, et. al. is over the top.

But I won’t repeat something until I know it has been authenticated.

Apparently there is nothing going on in Florida so they have to waste their time with this nonsense

Heard on the news tonight that this is going to be an unusually mild hurricane season so this is apt to last for a while.

This is way more important than a militant group of vigilantes with guns running around talking about lynching crackas.

“Are we sure the tweets are his?”

Yes, we are sure.

For one, the photographic evidence directly linked to the account is irrefutable.

Nice try to discredit Trayvon’s thuggish, criminal peronality and racism, but no cigar.

Sure - this is equal protection. This is due process.

They do this on every case in the US - riiiiiiiight?

I guess they are establishing a new standard for hate crime. Exactly how do they intend to enforce this on blacks? The prisons are over crowded already.

Heck - if they enforced this as a hate crime - half the Blacks in Congress and on TV would be in jail.

“Clinging to their guns and Bibles”? - Hello?

And - let’s say he called the three times suspended, drug dealing, jewelry thief a bad name. What bad name would not be accurate? I mean shoot - these are just the things we know he got caught for. At 17. BEFORE this scene.

I guess maybe we should all have screen names like “Reached_My_Limit_Whitey.”

They want so badly to make one guilty predetermination true.
Black folks calling into talk radio will not accept any facts outside
of what their peers are telling them to believe.

I, for one, am glad they’re consulting voice analysis experts. I also heard the “oon” sound. It could have been goons or loons or the ‘c’ word. But it wasn’t “jerks”, as I’ve been told over and over again by posters on this site.
