You could be right. I'm really having to focus to follow what she's saying.

So far her testimony proves nothing but Trayvon was a racist.

The defense cross examination is going to be chaos.

I think the State should have skipped using her as a witness.

They had to have known she would be problematic.

I have an appointment in 15 minutes, so I have to stop watching. I can't believe I'm going to miss the rest of this. I can't believe the state was dumb enough to put this person on the stand.

The court reporter, the judge, the defense, and even the jur is calling out for her to keep repeating things, so she is repeating the n-word, creapy ass cracker and other things over and over. lol

If you're still there, tape HLN for the next few hours.

Just like the interview with Bernie. She gives a nearly unintelligible answer and he translates with his own words.

She's crying and shaking and feels guilt. The jury will be sympathetic if the defense grills her too much and make her break down on the stand.

How about your brother, cousin, wife, sister, father, mother, etc.?

I would guess that, thankfully, not too many people know what anyone sounds like when they are screaming in terror for their lives.

Not to mention, this man just lost his son in a horrible way. If that happened to one of my children, I'd have to be scraped up from the floor, and forget about listening to what could be my own child scream on a tape (and then the SHOT).

No. And that's why all this talk about which voice belonged to which person if futile. It's equally impossible for so-called witnesses who've never heard either voice to identify it on a dark and storm night when voices sound and carry differently than under normal conditions.

Yeah she's close to the breaking point already.

She said many significant things.

That Zimmerman was out -of-breath.
That Zimmerman came up behind Trayvon.
She heard a bump, and sounds of grass, and Trayvon saying "get off of me."

She thought the screams from the recorded 911 call sounded like Trayvon.
