Do you have any information that she was still on the phone with Martin when the incident happened? Perhaps she hung up before then. I'm not aware that she's made any public statements up to now.

Apparently you haven't been following this story very well.

Lawyer: Girl on phone with Trayvon Martin cuts shooter's self-defense claim

A girl who overheard part of an incident involving Florida teenager Trayvon Martin can help prove he was killed "in cold blood" by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, an attorney for Martin's family said Tuesday.

(snip)

The girl -- who he said does not wish to be identified -- "connects the dots" about what happened that day when she lays out what she overheard while on the phone with him, he said.

(snip)

Speaking on the phone shortly before he was shot, Martin told the girl that someone was following him and that he was trying to get away, Crump said.

The girl said that, during the phone call, she heard someone ask Martin what he was doing and heard Martin ask why the person was following him, Crump said. The girl then got the impression that there was an altercation in which the earpiece fell out of Martin's ear and the connection went dead, Crump said.

Hey! I've got an idea. Why don't you read up on this story before shooting from the lip.

I've got another question, now. She heard the earpiece fall from Martin's ear. How? How could she tell that what she heard must have been the earpiece falling out...as opposed to somebody bumping it (and I'm making the assumption that this earpiece also has a microphone). Its almost as if she imagined the earpiece falling out.

I'm supposed to believe what some lawyer says? Lawyers are mouthpieces - for their clients, and she's not the client. Lawyers make up stuff all the time. They're paid to lie for their clients. I haven't seen a story where she was interviewed. The story says she does not want to be identified - how convenient for the lawyer.

Yeah, she may have said it to the lawyer. And she may not. I don't believe or disbelieve she said anything until she says it to someone who can be trusted.
