Zimmerman claimed he was attacked by 17 year old Trayvon and was justified in shooting the kid. He also claimed he was calling for help and on the 911 tapes a person could be heard screaming for help.
Now voice experts have analyzed the tapes and have concluded it was not Zimmerman that was crying for help and it was most likely Trayvon before he was shot and died.
"As the Trayvon Martin controversy splinters into a debate about self-defense, a central question remains: Who was heard crying for help on a 911 call in the moments before the teen was shot?
A leading expert in the field of forensic voice identification sought to answer that question by analyzing the recordings for the Orlando Sentinel.
His result: It was not George Zimmerman who called for help.
Tom Owen, forensic consultant for Owen Forensic Services LLC and chair emeritus for the American Board of Recorded Evidence, used voice identification software to rule out Zimmerman. Another expert contacted by the Sentinel, utilizing different techniques, came to the same conclusion.
Zimmerman claims self-defense in the shooting and told police he was the one screaming for help. But these experts say the evidence tells a different story.
'Scientific certainty'
On a rainy night in late February, a woman called 911 to report someone crying out for help in her gated Sanford community, Retreat at Twin Lakes.
Though several of her neighbors eventually called authorities, she phoned early enough for dispatchers to hear the panicked cries and the gunshot that took Trayvon Martin's life.
George Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, shot Trayvon, an unarmed 17-year-old, during a one-on-one confrontation Feb. 26.
Before the shot, one of them can be heard screaming for help.
Owen, a court-qualified expert witness and former chief engineer for the New York Public Library's Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound, is an authority on biometric voice analysis — a computerized process comparing attributes of voices to determine whether they match.
After the Sentinel contacted Owen, he used software called Easy Voice Biometrics to compare Zimmerman's voice to the 911 call screams.
"I took all of the screams and put those together, and cut out everything else," Owen says.
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.
"As a result of that, you can say with reasonable scientific certainty that it's not Zimmerman," Owen says, stressing that he cannot confirm the voice as Trayvon's, because he didn't have a sample of the teen's voice to compare."

The leftwing media is still trying, though.
That gave me an idea for a blog!
Excluding or ignoring my demands, only beg the inevitable RIOTING that WILL occur.
That the Florida law needs reviewing, goes without saying.
I don't think it is going to take very long for this case to be decided.
The tragedy cannot be reversed, but the improvement to Florida Law should be forthcoming.
That anyone should hope for anything other than this, becomes another story.
Yeah, nothing violates one's civil rights better than murdering him!
sadly - it had to be this way
It may turn out we never have undeniably conclusive evidence in this case, and will be left, like you, to speculate.
I, for one, wouldn't want to live in or near 'ground-zero' when the chaos begins.
Remember, you are promoting the coming chaos.
