No.. I am just stating the truth.
It could very well be Martin on the tape, but that doesn't PROVE that he wasn't beating up Zimmerman. He could have jumped out and started beating him up and yelled intending to beat him until help go there because he was afraid.
That would hurt Zimmerman, but it wouldn't PROVE he was guilty. I don't know why you are incapable of grasping these simple concepts.

lets not pretend that zimmerman was some kind of wimp. he worked security in the past and threw a women hard enough that she twisted her ankle, plus slapped his wife around. so lets not act like he didnt know how to defend himself, he wanted to be a cop, how many cops wouldnt be able to defend themselves against a 140 pound unarmed teenager?

In October, a school police investigator said he saw Trayvon on the school surveillance camera in an unauthorized area “hiding and being suspicious.” Then he said he saw Trayvon mark up a door with “W.T.F” — an acronym for “what the f---.” The officer said he found Trayvon the next day and went through his book bag in search of the graffiti marker.
Instead the officer reported he found women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that he described as a “burglary tool,” according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald.
.............................
Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds.
Trayvon was asked if the jewelry belonged to his family or a girlfriend.
“Martin replied it’s not mine. A friend gave it to me,” he responded, according to the report. Trayvon declined to name the friend.
Word of the incident came as the family’s lawyer acknowledged that the boy was suspended in February for getting caught with an empty bag with traces of marijuana
.................
schools police report obtained by The Miami Herald specifies two items: a bag with marijuana residue and a “marijuana pipe.”
The punishment was the third for the teen. On Monday, the family also said Trayvon had earlier been suspended for tardiness and truancy.

He weighed more then a 140 pounds the family later claimed he was six foot three 160 lbs still seems too low for someone allowed to play football. Trayvon had a six inch height advantage over Zimmerman and was a muscular football player.In his photos he was cut and in a fight between the two id have put money on Treyvon. So please dont try to twist the facts in is conceivable Treyvon was beating him so before you close the case why dont we wait to see what facts the state has ok.
George Zimmerman has been released from a Florida jail after posting $150,000 bond as he awaits trial for the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman exited the John E. Polk Correctional Facility (JEPCF) at the Seminole County Sheriff's Office at approximately midnight on Monday. The 28-year-old posted bond and was fitted with an electronic monitoring device prior to release, according to a statement from the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.
The GPS device, which can give immediate identification of an offender's whereabouts at any given time, will be monitored by the SCSO and Seminole County Probation.
At a bond hearing on Friday morning Judge Kenneth Lester agreed to allow Zimmerman, who is charged with second degree murder, to post a $150,000 bond to get out of jail. The prosecution had argued that Zimmerman should be denied bail or that it should be set at $1 million.

Agreed... it is HIGHLY unlikely that Trayvon would be screaming for help while beating the crap out of Zimmerman. Why would he? To get some neighbors he doesn't know to come over there and help him kick Zimmerman to a bloody pulp?
I'm not trying to take sides here, but it really seems people are rallying on either Zimmerman or Trayvon's sides to the point of defying common sense. So I just want to quickly give everyone a friendly reminder that when we bitterly argue and start verbally abusing each other, we ALL lose. We here at ATS know that's exactly what TPTB want us to be doing as much as possible--confuse and distract us, pit us against each other, divide and conquer, etc. so that they can quietly carry out their agendas. I'm not saying to ignore this case, because I think it is an important issue--certainly more important than whatever Kim Kardashian BS the MSM would otherwise be reporting on-- but I think we need to all take a couple of breaths, shake hands and remember it's not me against you, its US (ATS etc) against THEM (TPTB).
Back to the topic.
Regarding replicating the voice on the recordings, I understand that it would be damn near impossible to replicate exactly the screams for help. I was thinking more in terms of taking some recordings of both people, running it through whatever state of the art voice analysis software there is out there and figuring out whose voice it matches the most. They could take the recordings, add filters to simulate the cell phone in question, and account for noise. I guess the problem would be that it might entirely depend on what sort of vocal recordings they have of Trayvon, but I imagine if they could find one of him screaming anywhere it might be a lot easier than you'd think to match up. I actually saw one report where some sound engineers determined that the voice could not have been Zimmerman's, but that's all they concluded and I hadn't heard anything sense-- I feel like that would help clarify what really went down a great deal.
One other random thing I wanted to address that I've seen asked several times now is "Why didn't Trayvon head home if he were so close?" Here's why I wouldn't-- if I were being followed by someone and I suspected the worst-- a stalker, pervert, murderer etc I have no idea from my point of reference-- the LAST thing I would want to do is let them know where I live. I'd be primarily interested in losing them altogether, making absolutely sure they don't see me walk into my home. So my guess is that rather than Trayvon "hiding in the bushes" and "sucker punching Zimmerman", he was really trying to lose Zimmerman and see that he turned around and left, but they ended up fatefully crossing paths. But that's just my opinion.

lol fair enough and you do have a point there, somewhat, but zimmerman had the strength to throw women around yet he couldnt throw a 140 pound teenager off? my point is the only reason tray if he did bash zims head was because zimmerman was to busy going for his gun to actually use self defense to get tray off. plus its not really a feat of strength to bench press 30 pounds less than my body weight most men could do that. especially one that can throw women around like zimmerman.

A few things to consider...
1- 2 companies were hired by the Sentinel (paper in Florida) to analyze the 911 tape with the yelling for help. During that test there was a 90% probability it was Martin and only a 48% probability it was Zimmerman.
The problem with the test though is the method used. According to the test there must be at least 10 words spoken in order to meet baseline requirements. In this case it only had the 2 words so im not entirely sure how, or if, that is going to fly in court.
The PA has hired a company to review the tapes as well but so far nothing has been released yet.
2 - Again people seem to be stating as fact how a person would react or not react. As I stated before the fight or flight response affects that so unless a person was present and in that situation there is absolutely no way to guess as to who was yelling for help and why.
I have responded to fights where a person is being attacked and at some point during the fight, the victim goes through essentially a rage overload. The motivation for self preservation is so high that not only does the victim overcome the attacker, but instead of running the victim continues the assault not comprehending their current situation.
and yes, I have seen them yelling / screaming for help while they were actually winning against their attacker. The victim was do amped up they were not perceiving the situation at that exact moment. The other possibility is overcoming the attacker and making a decision to remain instead of running. Mindset there is to continue until the danger is no longer present as opposed to running only to find the attacker has recovered, is even more angry, and now pursuing the running individual to ensure there is no witness to a crime.
3 - Trayvon heading for home. Depending on what theory you are looking at you have 2 possibilities.
A - Martin was heading home and was confronted by Zimmerman before he got to his fathers house.
B - Martin was able to elude Zimmerman and double back, ambushing Zimmerman.
Neither option can be verified with any amount of certainty since we dont know for sure what occurred at the point of contact.

The software compared that audio to Zimmerman's voice. It returned a 48 percent match. Owen said to reach a positive match with audio of this quality, he'd expect higher than 90 percent.
Owen used Easy Voice Biometrics software to compare Zimmerman's voice to the 911 call screams, and it was a 48 percent match—well short of the 90 percent needed for a positive match, he said.
Owen told the newspaper that the software compared the screams to Zimmerman's voice and returned a 48 percent match. He said he would expect a match of higher than 90 percent, considering the quality of the audio.
Independent forensic experts Tom Owen and Ed Primeau both tell the Orlando Sentinel that the voice heard on the call does not match Zimmerman’s. Owen says he used voice match software to determine that there is only a 48% chance that the voice crying for help is Zimmerman’s. A positive match would have resulted in a 90% reading.

good job missing the point that the audio analysis had insufficient data by its own standards to reach a conclusion. seems like you want to argue for the sake of arguing. In your rush to pint out a mistake you make a huge post which doesn't even address that issue.edit on 23-4-2012 by yeti101 because: (no reason given)
Ed Primeau, an audio engineer who is listed as an expert in recorded evidence by the American College of Forensic Examiners International, told the paper. "As a matter of fact, after 28 years of doing this, I would put my reputation on the line and say this is not George Zimmerman screaming."
On CNN, Primeau said he's 95 percent sure the screams heard on the tape are not Zimmerman's
