And he's a black male. Dispatcher: How old would you say he looks? Zimmerman: He's got button on his shirt, late teens. Dispatcher: Late teens, ok. Zimmerman: Something's wrong with him. Yup, he's coming to check me out, he's got something in his hands, I don't know what his deal is. Dispatcher: Just let me know if he does anything, okay?
Zimmerman: How long until you get an officer over here? Dispatcher: Yeah, we've got someone on the way, just let me know if this guy does anything else. Zimmerman: Okay. These assholes they always get away. When you come to the clubhouse, you come straight in, and make a left. Actually, you would go past the clubhouse. Dispatcher: So, it's on the left-hand side from the clubhouse? Zimmerman: No, you go in, straight through the entrance, and then you make a left-- you go straight in, don't turn, and make a left.
Shit, he's running. Dispatcher: He's running? Which way is he running? Zimmerman: Down towards the other entrance to the neighborhood. Dispatcher: Which entrance is that that he's heading towards? Zimmerman: The back entrance Defense attorneys successfully argued against allowing prosecution experts who claimed the cries belonged to Martin.
Before the February shooting, Zimmerman had made about a half dozen calls to a nonemergency police number to report suspicious characters in his neighborhood.
Judge Debra Nelson on Wednesday ruled that they could be played for jurors. Prosecutors had argued that the police dispatch calls were central to their case that Zimmerman committed second-degree murder since they showed his state of mind. He was increasingly frustrated with repeated burglaries and had reached a breaking point the night he shot the unarmed teenager, prosecutors say. Seven of the nine jurors and alternates scribbled attentively on their notepads as the calls were played.
June 26, pm. Jane Surdyka was in her home on the night Trayvon Martin was shot and killed and said she could hear a "loud, dominant" voice 20 to 30 feet from where she was. She said she opened her window and could "see two people on top of the ground and one on top of the other.
Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda then played Surdyka's emotional call as Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon's mother, and Surdyka dabbed tears from their eyes. Significant Numbers in George Zimmerman case. During cross-examination Surdyka described the altercation and cries for help as a life-or-death struggle.
Zimmerman, who says he was defending himself, contends he was screaming that night and shot and killed the unarmed teenager after Martin repeatedly banged his head on a concrete sidewalk. Prosecutors say Martin was screaming. She told the prosecutor that the screams for help heard on the call made by a neighbor belong to Martin.
But on cross-examination, defense attorney Don West read part of a transcript from Jeantel's deposition, in which she said she wasn't sure if it was Martin's voice or not.
Like I said, I don't know but it could be," said Jeantel, according to the transcript. Trayvon do got that soft voice and that baby voice sometimes, so it could be, I don't know. Jeantel admitted to West that she lied several times to Martin's family. She said she told them she was 16, not 18, because she wanted to be treated like a minor and have privacy.
She also said she lied about not attending Martin's memorial service because she was in the hospital. The truth, she said, was that she was afraid to see the body. You think I really want to go see the body after I just talked to him? Jeantel appeared to get frustrated several times during the cross-examination, including one time when West suggested they could break until the morning so she'd have more time to review the deposition transcript.
The judge stepped in and asked West to keep the questions and answers to Jeantel's testimony. Earlier in the afternoon, jurors heard five other non-emergency calls Zimmerman made reporting suspicious people in his neighborhood.
