[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing in the story linked above is that forensic experts concluded that it was not Zimmerman crying out for help on the 911 tape. I don't see how anyone could listen to that tape knowing it was Trayvon Martin crying out "help" and "no" and believe there is any case for self-defense. The boy was begging for his life in the final moment.[/quote]

The forsensic tapes are compete junk science. Would you convict someone based on 51% probability. Cases have gotten throen out for much less. The only evidence is the police report,  eye witnesses ,  video with gash in back of the head and the doctor and paramedics reports. They all exonerate Zimmerman.  Mean while thrre have been like 40 other deaths with no coverage[/quote]

You're off in your interpretation of the findings of the forensic expert. He didn't find that there was a 51% probability that the voice is Zimmerman's. Where are you getting the number 51%, by the way? I haven't seen that number mentioned in regards to this case.

The expert found this:

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.[/quote]

There is a difference between percent match and probability.

Also, you say there is a doctor's report as evidence. Where has it been reputably reported that there is a doctor's report? If you're just talking about the claims of Zimmerman's family that there is a doctor's report, that's not evidence so far, it's just a claim made by the shooter's family. [/quote]

Yes, a 48% match is very bad.  It's like saying you got hair color and eyes right, but not height or gender.[/quote]
