George Zimmerman Murder Trial: Trayvon Martin’s Mother Sybrina Fulton Testifies that Screams For Help from 911 Tape Came From My Son

George Zimmerman murder trial …

This morning the prosecution called to the witness stand Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin. Fulton testified that the voice yelling for help during the 911 call the night her son was killed was that of Trayvon Martin. It is crucial to the case as to who the jury believes was screaming on the 911 call prior to the gun shot. However, what would one expect the mother of slain Trayvon Martin supposed to say, that it wasn’t her son’s voice? So do so would all but admit that her son was the aggressor and the defendant George Zimmerman was the victim. However, the injuries to Zimmerman are consistent with his version of the story that he was getting his head pounded into the curb and consistent with the witnesses accounts that Trayvon was in top during the altercation. If that is the case, how many people scream for help as they “ground and pound” another until the gun shot is finally heard.

Sybrina Fulton, Martin’s mother, was the first to take the stand. She began by describing her son’s tattoos, including Fulton’s name, which she said was on his wrist. Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda played her the tape of the 911 call the night of the fatal altercation with former neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.

“Ma’am that scream or yell, do you recognize that?” de la Rionda asked.

“Yes,” she said.

When asked who she thought it was, she said, “Trayvon Benjamin Martin.”

George Zimmerman Defense attorney Mark O’Mara cross-examines Trayvon Martin’s mother.

If it wasn’t your son screaming, if it was in fact, George Zimmerman, you would have to accept the possibility that it was Trayvon Martin who caused his own death, correct?” defense attorney Mark O’Mara asked.

“Correct,” Fulton said.

O’Mara asked her whether she would hope that her son did nothing that would cause his own death.

“What I hope for is this wouldn’t have never happened, and he would still be here. That’s my hope,” Fulton said.

Rasmussen Poll: More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites Or Hispanics … Even Blacks Think Blacks are More Racist than Whites

I thought that racism was supposed to go away when Barack Obama was elected president?

The following is a rather eye opening poll from Rasmussen with regards to racism in the United States. The poll states that blacks are more likely to be racist that White or Hispanics, 37% of American adults think that most black Americans are racist, while just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% consider most Hispanics racist. What might be the most interesting aspect of the poll is that a plurality, 31%, think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way. The LEFT wants to smear Rasmussen as right-wing  in order to make claims the the poll is has no merit. However, what would one expect the polling data to be when the liberal MSM and race baiters in the US have all but allowed such “reverse” racism to go unpunished.

We need to look no further than the racially charged murder case of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin to see such actions.  Rachel Jeantel took the stand for the prosecution and testified that  Trayvon described the man following him [George Zimmerman] as a “creepy ass cracker”. Jeantel was asked whether that was a racial slur, she said no. Thus, we can see that if such a slur is not considered racial, then such racism is institutionalized within the culture.

Wasn’t Obama supposed to be the post-racial president?

Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of most Hispanic Americans. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

There is a huge ideological difference on this topic. Among conservative Americans, 49% consider most blacks racist, and only 12% see most whites that way. Among liberal voters, 27% see most white Americans as racist, and 21% say the same about black Americans.

From a partisan perspective, 49% of Republicans see most black Americans as racist, along with 36% of unaffiliated adults and 29% of Democrats.

Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way.

CNN Broadcasts George Zimmerman’s Social Security Number, Drivers License Number & Personal Data … How Did Prosecution Miss not Redacting?

WAS THIS INTENTIONAL?

Like George Zimmerman doesn’t have enough to worry about as he battles for his freedom and second degree murder charges.  As reported at Breitbart, on Monday, CNN broadcasted George Zimmerman’s Social Security number and other personal information live over the air, including address, date of birth, and phone number. The incident took place as Sanford police detective Doris Singleton was testifying about her interview with George Zimmerman following his detention when the prosecuting lawyer pulled up a copy of the “narrative report” for the court to view. That was when the court video feed then showed, in close-up, as the lawyer zoomed in on Zimmerman’s personal information. Was this intentional by the prosecution or are they that incompetent that they would not redact such personal info? Twitter was a buzz as soon as it occurred as Zimmerman’s personal info was broadcast on national TV and sure to have been DVR’d … via Twitchy.

The liberal MSM has been out for George Zimmerman since the outset of this case. Now, if for some reason Zimmerman is acquitted of second degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, they have all but ensured that he will be a victim of identity theft. UNREAL. With the help of the state prosecution. How does one put that Jeanie back in the bottle?

This is what was seen, the personal info has been since responsibly redacted

Officer Doris Singleton was testifying when the prosecutors showed a narrative report including Zimmerman’s information.

That immediately launched a round of tweets by Zimmerman haters celebrating knowledge of that information.

This is hardly the first time Zimmerman’s personal information has been distributed by those who oppose him. During the initial coverage of the Zimmerman trial, Spike Lee retweeted the home address of what he thought was Zimmerman’s home address. It turned out to be the wrong address. Roseanne Barr then tweeted Zimmerman’s parents’ home address. “If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll rt his address again. maybe go 2 his house myself,” Barr tweeted.

Check out the reaction of George Zimmerman and attorneys when they realize his personal info is out there for all to see.

From Mediaite:

As the information continues to be shown before the court (but no longer on CNN), Zimmerman can be seen muttering to his counsel, possibly in regards to the confidential numbers now available to all in the room.

“Get that down, get that down,” an unnamed person in the court can be heard telling the lawyer.

“Oh my god,” the prosecuting lawyer exclaimed. “How can I clear it?” he asked before removing it from the in-court screen.

UPDATE — CNN says in a statement:

Routinely the evidence is first given to the Court Clerk for redaction, and that didn’t happen in this instance. The Court is circling back to attorneys on both sides to make sure they give the Clerk’s office the opportunity to redact the necessary information.

Interesting Take … Trayvon, Zimmerman and Hernandez should have listened to the Gambler, Kenny Rogers, and ‘Coward of the County’

The Washington Times has an interesting take on two stories that are very much in the headlines, the George Zimmerman murder trial in the death of Trayvon Martin and the Aaron Hernandez first degree murder arrest. Who knew that country music and Kenny Rogers, The Gambler, would have words of wisdom that would pertain to both of the above cases from his 1980′s hit, ‘Coward of the County’ … “Walk away from trouble if you can. Now it won’t mean you’re weak if you turn the other cheek.”

From Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman to Aaron Hernandez and Lloyd Odin, needless deaths occurred for the same reason most deaths involving gun violence occur. They trace back to the American right to free speech.

That right is not absolute. Exceptions to this rule include yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre or being an anti-Muslim filmmaker jeopardizing President Obama’a reelection chances. That kind of speech can land you in prison. Most people know better. Yet there remains a great deal that you have the right to say and should not.

[...]

The antidote to representing is self-restraint, self-control, self-respect, and societal respect. Trayvon Martin was black. George Zimmerman and Aaron Hernandez are Hispanic. As most people know, nothing speaks to blacks and Hispanics like country music. Everybody tempted to represent should learn from “The Gambler” and buy a copy of the Kenny Rogers classic “Coward of the County.”

“Promise me, son, not to do the things I’ve done.

Walk away from trouble if you can.

Now it won’t mean you’re weak if you turn the other cheek.

I hope you’re old enough to understand:

Son, you don’t have to fight to be a man.”

Now anyone who is familiar with the song, ‘Coward of the County’ knows that Tommy kicks the living day lights out of the Gatlin boys in the bar room in the end. As the song goes,  “Some times you have to fight to be a man.” And there lies the rub. There is a time and place to stand up and fight. Know when that time is.

Yet Aaron Hernandez and George Zimmerman could have walked away. If Trayvon Martin gained the upper hand, perhaps he could have walked away. These men were all involved in avoidable conflicts. Yet they had to be “bad-asses” with the “biggest pair.” They had to represent. Now two men are dead, two more face murder charges, and an eight-month-old baby may become orphaned because her famous football father may go to jail.

I would also say to the prosecution in the George Zimmerman murder trail, that if you do not have a lot more evidence you might want to take another lesson from Kenny Rogers and the song ‘The Gambler’, “You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em. Know when to fold ‘em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run. You never count your money. When you’re sittin’ at the table. There’ll be time enough for countin’. When the dealin’s done .”

George Zimmerman Murder Trial : Prosecution Witness John Good Delivers Major Blow to States Case Against George Zimmerman (State Witness Says Trayvon Martin on Top … “Ground & Pound, MMA Style) VIDEO

Second key prosecution witness devastates the State’s case against George Zimmerman for second degree murder.

What is going on with this case? The prosecution is supposed to present evidence and witnesses that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that George Zimmerman committed the second degree murder of Trayvon Martin. In the first week of the trial, they have done more damage to their case than help and if one looked at the trial objectively, one would swear that the prosecutors were the defense team.  A second key prosecution witness has dealt a major blow to the State’s case. Prosecution witness John Good may have caused irreparable damage to the States case with his testimony and dismantled the prosecutions case as Good stated that Trayvon Martin was straddling Zimmerman the entire time.

“He was on his back. The person on the top was the same person on the top when they were T-shaped to the sidewalk … Like, there was only one person. Then I could see a second person. It looked more than just a tussle. And that’s when I thought it got serious when they moved up to the sidewalk and he was more in a straddle position and arm movements were going downward … As soon as I saw the arm movement that’s when I went back inside. In the beginning (I heard George Zimmerman screaming for help) when I saw someone under the person on top.”

More from CBS News and John Good’s damning testimony to the defense. This was supposed to be a witness favorable to the prosecution, in the end, that was hardly the case. Good testified he saw a person in black clothing on top of another person with “white or red” clothing. Good said he couldn’t see faces but he “could tell that the person on the bottom had a lighter skin color.”

From CBS News:

The altercation seemed to escalate, according to Good. The struggle moved to the cement pathway, and he said the person in dark clothing straddled the other man in “mixed martial arts position” he later described to police as a “ground and pound.” He said he saw “arm movements going downward,” though he couldn’t be certain the person on top was striking the person on the bottom.

“The person you now know to be Trayvon Martin was on top, correct?” asked defense attorney Mark O’Mara. “He was the one raining blows down on George Zimmerman, correct?”

“That’s what it looked like,” Good answered.

Good said he then went back inside to call 911. As he was dialing the phone, he heard a gunshot. His 911 call was played in court as the jury listened.

“I just heard a shot right behind my house. They’re wrestling right in back of my porch,” Good said on the recording. “…I’m pretty sure the guy’s dead out here. Holy sh–.”

Later, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asked whether it was possible a police officer could have used the term “ground and pound” before he did.

“It’s possible,” Good said.

De la Rionda honed in on Good’s earlier statement that he couldn’t confirm the person on top was hitting the other person.

“Correct,” Good said.
