Having just heard Zimmerman's brother speaking on TV...

I noticed that he has a rather high voice. Brothers often sound alike. If so, then George probably has a highish voice too. I know that some voice experts have said it wasn't him screaming for help that night, but if his voice is like his brother's, then it sounds like it at least is somewhat possible that it could have been him.

Just an observation.

1. Oh please. Let's ignore the fact that Trayvon's mom ID'd her child's voice on the tape. Let's just

ignore that because your half-baked theory makes sooooo much more sense. Let's forget that the prosecution made that ID by Trayvon's mother part of their charging document, too.



It's possible in "He Deserved It" Land. In the real world, it's not possible.

2. Are you not aware of Zimmerman's 911 call?

What do you mean "if his voice sounds like....?"

We have about a four minute sample of exactly what his voice sounds like.

That is what the experts used to compare his voice to the screams!

Wow, just making an observation around here without knowing EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING is apparently a bad idea.

3. In the 911 call his voice sounds very deep and nothing like his brothers.

Not to mention the two voice recognition experts said the screams were not George's with a 99% certainty. No way it was George screaming.

This eyewitness gave a report to police and described what she saw and heard in two interviews with CNN.

Witness, Zimmerman attorneys address key questions in Trayvon shooting

...


Who yelled for help?

...


"From the very beginning and I still do feel that it was the young boy," the witness, who wants to remain anonymous, told CNN Friday.

The witness lives in the apartment complex where the shooting occurred and saw the incident through her window.

...


When pressed if she could determine who was yelling, the witness said "it was the younger, youthful voice (rather) than it was the deep voice I heard when they were arguing."

14. Do you think a gunshot might affect the shooter?

I think if I were screaming and then I shot a gun, I'd probably stop screaming too out of shear shock that I actually pulled the trigger.

Why exactly would the person holding the gun be screaming for help? GZ didn't need any help, Trayvon did.

It was Trayvon screaming, and there was silence after the shot because he was then dead.

Logical thinking. Try it.
