HEARING something is also "witnessing".... She indeed witnessed a part of what happened.....in her 911 call they are playing, she said that someone was screaming "help me, help me, and he shot him."
She didn't witness. She heard. She never saw who said help me.

Hearing something is useless. She knows nothing about what was going on and who was who. She will be shredded.
What could Trayvon's parents testify about that would not trigger such an opening to allow the negative aspects of Trayvon's character to also be allowed?
If they are called by the STate, the State can ask them if they recognize the voice of the person calling for help on the recording, and that's it. The State does NOT have to ask them anything else The Defense then CANNOT ask (on cross examination) questions regarding anything other than what was covered by the State on Direct Examination. The Defense may try to trip up the parents so they volunteer some character-type information, yet I'm sure those parents are very well aware that the defense will attempt such a tactic.

TM's father already said the screams weren't his son's. That's in his statement. He can't change that now or he is not credible.

You really believe that the jury was not affected by hearing that 911 call that witness made????
Even though O'Mara is very, very good at his job, cross examination, I'm not entirely sure he can get away with attacking this woman and "shredding" her on cross. This witness is pretty compelling.

She's not compelling at all. She says she knows that the voice yelling for help was the dead one. How does she know that? LMAO! She also said she heard 3 shots. She's done.
That's what I dont understand. They weren't there, so calling them to witness seems to mean they'll try to talk how great a kid he was. So why can't the defense show otherwise?
IF they call the parents, it will be simply to identify the voice screaming "help, help" as Trayvon's. THAT'S ALL. They will not be asked questions about Trayvon's past, etc. You can call a witness and ask only ONE question of that witness if that's all you need.

I suspect that the members of the jury are far more objective than you are......this witness has been very compelling indeed.
Current witness, Wednesday, blonde woman, says it was "pouring rain".
I could swear some fools have said it was merely drizzling.
The fool was the police officer at the scene.
