Audio Expert: Trayvon Martin Cried “I’m Begging You” On 911 Tape

A hearing is currently underway in Sanford, Florida, to discuss audio experts testimony in the upcoming Trayvon Martin case.

According to a report in the Orlando Sentinel, key expert audio witnesses give conflicting testimony regarding what can be heard on the audio in a snippet from a call placed to 911 the night George Zimmerman shot unarmed teen Trayvon Martin.

Alan R. Reich, an audio expert says Trayvon can be heard screaming, “I’m begging you!” just before the shot rang out.

 At the start of the hearing, Zimmerman’s lawyer, Mark O’Mara filed a motion asking the court to prevent spectators from wearing clothes expressing support or sympathy for Trayvon, or which “transmit any messages to members of the jury.”

A beefy looking Zimmerman, 29, is pictured above entering the courtroom today.

From Orlando Sentinel:

Alan R. Reich, the most definitive and potentially impactful of the state experts, says it was Trayvon heard crying in the 911 call. Specifically, Reich says he hears Zimmerman make a “seemingly religious” proclamation while, simultaneously, Trayvon cries out “I’m begging you.” Reich also says the last cry before the shot was Trayvon, yelling the word “stop.”

Gainesville-based consultants Harry Hollien and James Harnsberger said the 911 audio quality was too poor for a definitive match, but who said some of the cries were more likely Trayvon, while others were more likely Zimmerman.

Tom Owen, a New Jersey based forensic consultant used biometric software to analyze the 911 call for the Orlando Sentinel in March 2012. He concluded “with reasonable scientific certainty” the cries did not match Zimmerman.

“Homosexuality…Is it the New Norm?” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”


Homosexuality

Same sex marriage and equality became a big discussion during the recent Presidential election and President Barack Obama took his stance on this issue and proudly endorsed it. Since then, several entertainers, athletes, celebrities and television journalist have proudly stumbled out of their closets professing this lifestyle.

Homosexuality has now become a media sensation and is being shoved in our faces as if it is the new norm. Schools are teaching classes on same-sex, television sitcoms are addressing it and department store ads and commercials are displaying it. Sounds like the moral decline of a society as a whole, dismissing God’s plan and purpose of traditional family and relationships.

The U.S Department of Education announced a radical new policy change to its federal student aid form (FAFSA). The new policy, which takes effect in the 2014-2015 school year, will eliminate the terms “mother” and “father” from student aid forms. The new, non-gender specific terms will be “Parent 1″ and “Parent 2″.

The change is being instituted to make children who were raised in non-traditional same-sex homes more comfortable with the application process.

This is just another tool being used by the Gay Agenda movement (with the full blessing of President Obama) to brainwash children into believing that heterosexual sex is not the norm.

Meanwhile, gay sex remains unchallenged as the #1 means of transmitting the HIV virus.

According to statistics compiled by the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control (CDC); no other HIV risk factor even comes close to male-to-male sex. But the media won’t tell you that.

John McCain’s Son Marries a Black Girl!


mccain-wedding

Jack McCain, son of U.S. Senator John McCain of Arizona, married Renee Swift, last Saturday at San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral church.

Jack McCain serves as a lieutenant in the Navy, stationed in Guam where he is a helicopter pilot. Swift, 29, a Bay area native, is a captain in the USAF reserve. The couple met in Guam.

The couple planned to honeymoon in Africa, after which Jack McCain is slated for another deployment.

I wonder how John McCain’s colleagues on Capital Hill feel about his daughter-n-law of color. How interesting.

OWN’s ‘The Haves and the Have Nots’ Draws Record Ratings But Poor Reviews


Summer OWN

Viewers loved the premiere of Tyler Perry’s ‘The Haves and the Have Nots’ on Oprah’s OWN Network. The series premiere drew record ratings for Tyler and Oprah’s joint partnership. But the critics reviews of the show were brutal.

The show’s stars, Tika Sumpter, left, Renee Lawless and John Schneider helped to make “The Haves and the Have Nots” the network’s highest-rated premiere “ever,” according to a release from OWN.

“The Haves and the Have Nots” is typical of Tyler Perry’s obsession with glorifying the greedy “haves” while pitying the needy “have-nots” in his films.

Los Angeles Times critic Mary McNamara called the show “so awful that the awfulness appears intentional.”

From LA Times:

The 9 p.m. airing delivered 1.77 million viewers (1.57 million of them women age 25-54). The second episode at 10 p.m. grew to 1.8 million viewers (1.67 million were women 25-54).

However, initial reviews for the series were not kind. OWN did not send the show out to critics prior to its premiere, mirroring Perry’s policy of not allowing his films to be pre-screened for reviewers.

Brian Lowry of Variety called the show “claustrophobically cheap, not to mention poorly written and indifferently acted.” He added that the show could potentially damage Winfrey’s legacy of uplift and self-empowerment.

Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times was even more scathing, calling the show “so awful that the awfulness appears intentional. Except that might make it interesting, and it just isn’t.”

Failed Try… Always Lie!!! …Dealing With Liars… Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”


Liar (1)

We all know someone who lies…It’s either chronic, which is a compulsive liar, habitual, a person who is in the habit of lying or pathological; either way we know they’re liars. To dress their tales up, some call them unfulfilled promises. But a promise cannot be fulfilled or met, if there was never an intent to pursue the gesture. Which makes it exactly what it is when the opposite transpires, a LIE!

Whether our relationships are platonic or romantic, most people approach the topic of lying reluctantly. As it stands, our close relationships involve a lot of truth-telling as well as some dishonesty. 

When it comes to love and marriage, people expect a spouse or boyfriend to be completely honest. But, at the same time, everyone values their sense of freedom and privacy. So while romantic partners typically want to please each other, at other times, couples experience competing goals which can make telling the truth more difficult.

And what about those sistahs and girlfriends you know, who gossip in your face but talk sh*t about you behind your back. Women being untruthful, deceitful, insincere and two-faced.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” viaConversations Live as I tell you how to deal with a liar.

Sound off on this topic here, and email the show about the liar you know at… conversations@optonline.net
