That’s 1 point for justice. Of course, he shouldn’t be there in the 1st place but I’d take it.

Surprising. “Exert” “testimony” which is outright and obvious fabrication usually gets into evidence.

Maybe there aren’t any. His words on the call speak for themselves.....where the audio experts were interpreting nonverbal noises? Just my SWAG.

It sounds like the judge might have felt they were going beyond their level of established expertise in the proposed testimony. Too many begged questions. Good sense may yet prevail.

It’s voodoo science, no legitimite authorities recognize it.

I believe ego is a common reason for this. The judge wants to look brilliant and smart and precedent-making etc. rather than trying to be fair, which is dullsville from an ego standpoint. (However striving to be fair does thrill God.)

*************************************************
The defense audio experts were honest and testified that it was impossible to identify the “screamer” based upon the poor quality of the recording and the few split seconds available for analysis.

Tell me what you want to say said the expert as he picked up the check and smiled.
The idea that one could conclude it was Tray "screaming" by matching it to his normal voice was stupid.
To: Izzy Dunne
Were they named "Sharpton" and "Jackson" ? Not likely. I believe "audio experts" are people that have some experience in listening.

They are still available to the defense. I don’t see a great use for them, off the top of my head, but they can be called.

Frankly, I think there is now “someone” she is “personally” consulting with on this case....and that she would like out because she knows there is no case against Zimmerman.
To: digger48
If I understand what the defense said on Thurs they did not have the money to hire an expert audio witness...they were going by what the FBI wrote in it's report that the idenity of the person screaming in the audio could not be determined...the audio was only 3 seconds long...the audio expert the prosecution had hired (his name escapes me now) charged $3300 for a half day of testimony...but he was SURE the voice on the audio was Trayvon Martin's...my feeling is after listening to the prosecution's audio witness is that some people will say anything for money...he seemed to be a real scumbag...imho

Maybe not, the defense experts would have blown the prosecution’s ‘experts’ out of the water — in front of the jury.
