Zimmerman trial: Trayvon's father testifies he never said screams in 911 call were not from his son
CBS News' Crimesider ^ | July 8, 2013 | Erin Donaghue

The parents of Trayvon Martin, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, listen to Sanford, Fla. police officer Chris Serino testify on the 20th day of the George Zimmerman murder trial in Seminole circuit court, July 8, 2013 in Sanford.

Taking the stand Monday, the father of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin denied telling police officers that he didn't believe it was his son's voice heard screaming for help on a 911 call that is critical to the murder case against George Zimmerman.

Earlier Monday, investigators Chris Serino and Doris Singleton testified that in their meeting with Tracy Martin two days after his son Trayvon was fatally shot by Zimmerman, the father had said the screaming voice in the background of the 911 call was not his son.

The much-contested call was placed by a neighbor the night of the fatal altercation between Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, and has been at issue throughout Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial. Several friends have testified that Zimmerman can be heard screaming in the background of the call, but Martin's family members have said it was the teen.....

It is stunning that these two people would want to throw Zimmerman in jail so bad they would lie like this

you recognize your own childs voice - I have three that are outside playing and screaming with their friends in my backyard and I can pick out my three any time

I wonder if they feel going to hell is worth a little payback for whitey now?

I thought it was interesting that the prosecution tried to get the gym trainer to say that Zimmerman could have used an arm bar instead of a gun. The trainer had to point out how difficult it would be to gain a submission when the attacker is mounted. A real tough position unless you are good and the attacker sucks.

The headline is a major grammatical error.

It's a DOUBLE NEGATIVE.

Now, now, people that are predisposed to give cops' testimony more credence over other folk are almost universally excused from juries in their selection processes.

Doesn’t surprise me at all.

Trayvon basically raised himself. These “parents” are now in it for the cash.

If I was a juror in this case I wouldn’t be swayed by any of the “voice on the tape” witnesses. It would be a wash and all I would focus on was what was not open to interpretation or subjective opinion.

I feel for the people on both sides. Both sides want the voice to be their loved one’s voice thinking it makes their case.

The dad did what I would expect and the defense is not saying he’s a liar but that the heart hears what it wants regardless of what the ears are hearing.

There should have been no witnesses to this unless the experts were allowed to testify.

You know, I really think he loved his son. But like so many black families, they are influenced by the color of their own skin and just can’t get beyond race. They were raised that way and passed it on to Trayvon. Otherwise, Trayvon wouldn’t have considered GZ a creepy ass cracker. He simply would have said, I’m new, visiting my dad, the address is.......that easy, he would be alive today.

“These “parents” are now in it for the cash.”

Zimmerman has barely anything to his name so no cash there. I suppose they can live off some Trayvon “foundation”. Getting a few dollars from the race pimps to stir the pot once in a while.

Ya have to dig into the story to see the huge defense win here:

... Martin said. “I think the chair had wheels on it, I kinda pushed away from the table and kind of shook my head and said, ‘I can’t tell.’”
