Is Prosecuting The Zimmerman Case A “Fool’s Mission”

The state called their  twenty-third witness Dr. Hirotaka Nakasone to the stand today. Once again it appeared that the state was laying the foundation for the defense's claims of self defense.

 Dr. Nakasone's is an FBI voice analysts who testified that it's not possible to determine who is screaming on the 911 call that recorded screams and the fatal shot. Dr. Nakasone also testified that a cellphone distorts the human voice and it for that very reason the FBI won't use cell phone recordings for analysis.

This testimony is crucial since the state asserts that the voice crying for help belongs to Trayvon Martin.

Another witness for the state also contradicted the narrative for the state  when Officer Doris Singleton said that in her opinion Zimmerman did not show any anger or animosity for Travyon when he spoke to her about the incident.

Remember, the prosecution MUST show that Zimmerman acted with ill will or a depraved mind in order to get a second-degree murder conviction.  Officer Singleton's "NO" may prove to be problematic for the prosecution.  

Jurors also hear testimony from the lead detective in the case, Officer Chris Serino.  During the cross examination Officer Serino recounts that he informed Zimmerman that there was a video of the incident shot on Martin's celllphone.

Officer Serino said that he believe Zimmerman answered, "Thank God, I was hoping somebody would videotape it."

When asked by the defense lawyer, Mark OMara if Officer Serino felt Zimmerman was telling the truth he answered Yes.

Again, NOT good for the prosecution.
