Eye witnesses describe Zimmerman as aggressor

Yamiche Alcindor, USA TODAY 2:06 p.m. EDT June 26, 2013

SANFORD, Fla. — The first eye witnesses in the murder trial of George Zimmerman testified Wednesday that they believe Trayvon Martin was yelling for help and being beaten by Zimmerman before he died.

The witnesses, former neighbors of Zimmerman's in the Retreat at Twin Lakes gated community, described trying to make out what was going on outside their windows on the rainy night of Feb. 26, 2012. In both cases, Zimmerman's lawyers pointed to the possible influence of media on the witnesses' recollections.

Zimmerman, 29, says he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed Trayvon Martin. The prosecution says he profiled and murdered the black teen. If convicted of second-degree murder, Zimmerman could be sentenced to life in prison.

Jayne Surdyka, a former resident of Retreat at Twin Lakes, testified that she believes she heard Trayvon Martin screaming for help shortly before being shot.

[Just Saying]

1. Surdyka was a very good witness.

And I think the fact that her testimony is backed up by what she said at the scene on her 911 call is powerful.

2. If that is true, Zimmerman is more fucked up than I thought. nt
