SANFORD, Fla. – A series of witnesses testified Monday morning that George Zimmerman was the voice screaming in the background during a crucial 911 recording that contained the sound of the gunshot that killed Trayvon Martin.
“Yes, definitely, it’s Georgie… I hear him screaming,” testified Sondra Osterman, one of several witnesses called by the defense on Monday. Osterman worked with Zimmerman at a mortgage firm and said she was best friends with Zimmerman’s wife. State prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda focused on a non-emergency phone call recording in which Zimmerman said “these f****** punks, they always get away,” playing it four times during Osterman’s testimony.
Osterman identified Zimmerman’s voice in that recording but said she didn’t believe he sounded angry. Zimmerman’s anger leading up to the shooting is a key component of the second-degree murder charge against him. In Florida, second-degree murder requires “ill-will, hatred, and spite.”
Osterman’s husband, Mark, said that the voice “just sounded like George.” He noted that he spoke on the phone to Zimmerman as often as he spoke to him in person. Mark Osterman testified last week as a state witness.
Mark Osterman also taught Zimmerman how to shoot firearms. Asked if he thought he’d taught Zimmerman how to shoot properly, Osterman said “I hope so.”

Leanne Benjamin is a Sanford-area real estate agent who became friends with Zimmerman. She identified Zimmerman’s voice as the scream and said “I know what his voice sounds like when he gets excited or loud.”.............Not looking good for the prosecution...or should I say persecution?
Georgie??? Maybe that will humanize him to the jury.
Lock and load!
The evidence certainly would seem to indicate so.
There should be a 24 hour notice before the verdict is read.
Of course, that would favor the people defending their lives and property from the perpetually offended, so the judge will not do that.
Let the riots begin!
Lock and load!
Trayvon’s dear mother couldn’t possibly be lying, could she?
Should also give Governor Scott time to deploy the National Guard to Sanford.
I haven’t followed the trial. That said, a sound recording can be analyzed for voice prints, I believe. So why doesn’t the defense team have that done? Is a voice print admissible?
I maintain there should be a staggered release of the verdict. Say, for example, one letter per hour. That way, the cursive-impaired, will get-it, that is the verdict, over the course of many hours, and thus, not all-at-once.
One letter per hour
IN CURSIVE!
Answer: “Well of course. He’s alive isn’t he, politician racemonger prosecutor?
Objection your honor, may that be stricken and the witness instructed against these outbursts?
Yes, counselor; sir, please just answer the question without any wisecracks.
“Oh OK, what was the question, your honor”
Withdrawn, your honor.
Case over.
Let the riots begin!
I wonder how many people are going to be disappointed if there aren't any riots. What if the jury exonerates Zimmerman, and the vast majority of people understand he was unjustifiably persecuted?
I’m ready, let it rip!
I don’t believe there are going to be riots. Thus my tagline.
Ha ha... thats a good one. Youre pretty funny!
Just wondering, do you have any tips on how to win that war in Vietnam?i
Angela Corey should be fired and disbarred.
Lock n Load!
Hide the silverware, HDTV’s and X-Boxes!
OMG....LOL!
