Experts claim voice on 911 call was NOT George Zimmerman...

A leading expert in the field of forensic voice identification sought to answer that question by analyzing the recordings for the Orlando Sentinel.

His result: It was not George Zimmerman who called for help.

Tom Owen, forensic consultant for Owen Forensic Services LLC and chair emeritus for the American Board of Recorded Evidence, used voice identification software to rule out Zimmerman. Another expert contacted by the Sentinel, utilizing different techniques, came to the same conclusion.

Zimmerman claims self-defense in the shooting and told police he was the one screaming for help. But these experts say the evidence tells a different story.

I said it before... Zimmerman lied to the police. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002463101

to say the tapes are inconclusive or some bs? Expert witnesses can be paid, right?

But even on the Sanford site where they have put all the publicly available recordings and reports, it is labeled as a 911 call.
