It’s not George Zimmerman crying for help on 911 recording, 2 experts say, Orlando Sentinel. Actually, the biometric expert says it’s only a 40% match to Zimmerman, which raises the question why it would be that much if it’s not him, and the other expert does a non-technical voice analysis. But, if it’s true that it’s not Zimmerman, that raises serious questions. (added) The forensics on the bullet wound will be critical — and will tell whether it is consistent with Zimmerman firing while on his back on the ground or not, or firing from above down. If it is Trayvon crying for help, and the bullet wound indicates it was fired from someone standing over him, this case changes completely. That’s why it is so important to know much, much more before reaching conclusions.
