Geroge Zimmerman Defense Team Preparing for Grand Jury Trial and Indictment

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Police Gave George Zimmerman Voice Stress Test

George Zimmerman's defense team is growing, suggesting that he's planning for a grand jury indictment and a subsequent criminal trial. Interestingly, his new attorney has begun releasing some previously unknown facts.

Did you know that, on the night of Trayvon Martin's death, Sanford police gave George Zimmerman a voice stress test?

They did, and the results probably contributed to his release.

A voice stress test is like a polygraph, but instead of measuring heart rate and blood pressure, it looks for changes in an individual's voice patterns that are thought to suggest psychological stress. With the help of software, investigators record a suspect answering baseline questions and then compare them to answers about the case.

This technology is not unique to Sanford. The National Institute for Truth Verification, a manufacturer of the technology, claims that over 1,800 local, state and federal law enforcement agencies use their product. They also claim to have trained U.S. Military personnel.

Expert opinion is mixed, but a study commissioned by the Justice Department suggests that a voice stress test is "no better than flipping a coin." For this reason, like its cousin the polygraph, George Zimmerman's voice stress test probably wouldn't be admissible at trial. However, it can still be used in the investigatory phase.

George Zimmerman's voice stress test came out clean, according to attorney Hal Uhrig. If the Sanford Police Department is willing to spend more than $10,000 on the product, then it probably trusts its results. And those results probably corroborated what officers initially saw at the scene.

Not totally convinced they are 100% accurate. There are individuals that fool polygraphs. Lets see what the grand jury decides on the 10th.

If it goes to grand jury...

Special prosecutor: I may need no grand jury in Trayvon Martin case

A special prosecutor, Angela Corey, has taken over the case and could announce soon whether she intends to charge him. A grand jury was to begin hearing the case April 10.

Looks like you are going to get your trial. May as well railroad him. He is Hispanic and no one will care.

But you were totally convinced the media reports were 100% accurate. Why the change now?

Why do you say that? He had no reason to get out of that car. You heard the 911 call,he even said he meet up with cops. Oh he must of meant after he shot him. My bad. Let the grand jury decide now what they want to do.You have kids Gary? Doesn't sound like it.

I think if I had just killed an unarmed teenager my voice would be 'stressed' too.

Why spend $10,000 when all you need is 25 cents?

Everyone knows how this is gonna go down. They'll give the guy a long prison sentence. Jesse and Al will go back home and wait for their next media event. Facts dont mean anything on this one.

One wonders if the bounty will still be on him if he does prison time.

What bounty?

What bounty?

The Black Panthers aren't representing anyone involved with this case. They're just another fringe group like Storm Front, trying to inject their extremism into the tragedy.

What kind of logic is this?

He is the neighborhood watch-guy which indicates he cares about crime in his area. He sees someone "he" suspects might be casing homes and thinks the person may slip away before the police get involved. It's not unusual for a citizen to follow to some degree to see which way he is going, that might involve getting out of the vehicle.

From the tapes I have listened too the non-emergency dispatcher (not the 911 as people keep saying) told him "you don't need to do that".... never said "don't".

Even so as you listen, it seems within a few seconds he does stop..... but like most of the events after this point we can't be sure from the limited info we have what exactly happened.

IF trayvon has a right to go where he wants, why doesn't zimmerman?

Zimmerman may well have went too far, not only followed but approached him and asked questions. Certainly legal but not wise. And a altercation began.

Mark my words, if Zimmerman walks there will be fires burning, the misinformation and outright lies about the known facts are already planted in the minds of those who WANT to believe this guy was out "hunting a black person."

I highly doubt tough guy Zimmerman would of got of his car if he didn't have a weapon. Trayvon had every right to be in that neighbor hood, more than likely ignored Zimmerman which i tell my own kids not to talk to strangers. As far as logic.I don't think he hunted down a black guy, he made a serious mistake by trying to take the law into his own hands. As I said again let the Grand jury decide and if the public hears a different story then we might show justification for his act.
