Well, we don't have the eyewitness statements, of course, but according to Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump, it was Martin's girlfriend "DeeDee" who reported that she heard Martin begin the conversation. This has been quite widely reported - here, for example. An excerpt:
She said the next thing she heard was Martin saying, “Why are you following me?” Then, Crump said, she heard another voice — presumably Zimmerman’s — saying, “What are you doing around here?”You can question DeeDee's (or Crump's) credibility, I suppose, but it seems unlikely either would want to support Zimmerman's story.
Is this the same 'witness' who withheld information from the authorities for three weeks and only came forward after the police tapes and other evidence were released?
Is this the same 'witness' who didn't even bother to check and see what happened to her 'boyfriend' for five days after he told her he was being followed and then the phone went dead?
Yeah..I'd say she has a credibility issue.
I would be careful quoting the GF...if you want to take part of her story you have to take all of it...and it has zimmerman still following martin...not going back to his truck.
DeeDee’s Mom says she had never seen DeeDee so upset after she was informed she was the last to speak w/ TM. So upset she had to be hospitialized. Think about that, more upset than when she learned of his death. More likely it was that she could no longer keep secret she was on the phone. She’s going to have a tough time on the stand if it gets that far.
