March 19th 2012 was a Monday -- but I suspect that is before the current legal team was involved.
She seemed so certain...

BTW, I'm not having any problems understanding her. What does that say about me?
I work at a University. I have to talk to people from all over the world; Indians, Chinese, Koreans, Pakistanis, Mexicans, Lithuanians, etc., etc. I've learned to really listen when people talk.sjfcontrol wrote:It says you understand "mumble"?baldeagle wrote:Whoops!

She was an emotional basket-case on the 911 call. Far too upset to make any kind of rational assessment.philip964 wrote:I Don't know about the mumbling lady, but the blonde middle aged woman, who didn't see anything, but knew that Trayvon was being beaten by Zimmerman from their voices, was sympathetic. Crying etc when she heard her 911 call replayed. "oh he's killed him, he's dead" etc, etc.
Its really too hard for me to watch, as I feel Zimmerman is being railroaded. When I do watch, I just get mad.
Your like a lot of my clients, always wanting to use logic. I keep having to remind them that logic is not involved when dealing with the government.sjfcontrol wrote:She was an emotional basket-case on the 911 call.

Also, regarding her ability to determine a persons approximate age from the sound of their voice, I would hope that at some point the defense would point out that when we are under stress, the pitch of our voices naturally rises. This could possibly make a grown man's voice sound child-like. And by the time a teen reaches 19, his voice would have finished changing, anyway.
And as for those claiming that Zimmerman was on top, and flailing his arms, how do they justify the fact that Martin was untouched except for the gunshot wound and a small abrasion on his finger, while Zimmerman had wounds on both the front and back of his head.

She's about two years behind. People are turning 18 in the 12th grade, not 20.sjfcontrol wrote:Well unless my math skills are no better than hers, that is not all that far behind. 12th grade is 13 years if schooling (don't forget kindergarten). 13 + 5 is 18.AndyC wrote:19 years old (I swear, I thought she was in her 30s!) and, by all accounts, about to go into 12th grade in the fall.
Thank you SO much, No Child Left Behind.
By the way, did you notice how quick she was at dates and days of the week? She knew what day of the week and date each of her meetings were. Can you say 'savant'?
