I think that's a really big admission/statement/fact in this case.
I listened to the 911 call again and the yelling goes on for longer than I thought - the one lady calls 911 and then the yelling for help goes on for another 46 seconds on the audio after the call starts. So it probably went on for at least a total of a minute, maybe a lot longer depending on how long the lady took to call 911. If that's Martin yelling, and that can be proven, Zimmerman's toast - his statements can be used to show he tried to cover things up with the police. If it's Zimmerman yelling - that's going to be tough or impossible to get a conviction. (maybe Zimmerman is still morally guilty, and maybe there's some creative prosecution that could use a felony murder/manslaughter theory or something, but - it'd be a tough sell to a jury I'd think unless you had some other facts.) How do you get a murder conviction when the murderer yells for help for 1 minute+ immediately before the killing? What in the hell was either Zimmerman or Martin doing for more than 1 minute to make the other cry for help that long? (or shit, maybe they were both yelling).
If you have and audio recording of someone talking or yelling can you definitively identify it in another recording?

Here are some of the witnesses that were close to it.

Another trend in the investigation seems to be witnesses telling one story and the police trying to change those stories. Not sure why.
