"Attorneys for Martin's family said it wasn't until weeks later, when Tracy Martin, Trayvon's father, was looking through the teen's cell phone bill that he noticed the timing of the last call. The family and their attorneys then contacted Trayvon's girlfriend and heard her account of the night. Lawyer Benjamin Crump, who represents the family, recorded an interview with the girl and provided it with Martin's cell phone records to federal authorities, who by then had joined the investigation."

As per Huffington post, the family and lawyer found the girl, spoke to her and then set up an interview which was taped and given to investigators.

I think Zimmerman's lawyer is going to tear this girl apart.

agreeed. I dont recall her saying that before. Either the press didn't tell us, or it was not there robinlynne May 2012 #22
Saying what before? n/t vaberella May 2012 #70
get off. get off. That is a different story than what we heard weeks ago. robinlynne May 2012 #96
Oh okay. Or it was never released. vaberella May 2012 #97
I agree Life Long Dem May 2012 #90
You are correct. n/t jaysunb May 2012 #39
If it was conducted much later? Fumesucker May 2012 #3
Not a matter of fault... Cave_Johnson May 2012 #8
There were interviews a long time ago. if she did not say it back then, I don't robinlynne May 2012 #23
Actually no one really new about her later into the game. vaberella May 2012 #71

Interesting that the police investigation didn't cover this.. Fumesucker May 2012 #56
I read some other sources... Cave_Johnson May 2012 #58
acceptable sources include people who were there, like this tiny elvis May 2012 #66
Hmm... Cave_Johnson May 2012 #68
She's not only emotionally fragile but physically, since this affected her physically. vaberella May 2012 #73
Should have been more clear... Cave_Johnson May 2012 #75
I'd like to see Atty. Crump's brief on why Trayvon's statements to his girlfriend are not hearsay. amandabeech May 2012 #78
I find that doubtful, to bordering on false. vaberella May 2012 #72
And, the hearsay rule may prevent some or most of Trayvon's comments from being amandabeech May 2012 #77
it was widely reported from early on that he was on the phone with his girlfriend while he was being magical thyme May 2012 #7
she was interviewed within hours? hfojvt May 2012 #24

It's a simple and clear case of Zimmerman stalking Martin. FarPoint May 2012 #36
Ummm.. maybe? Cave_Johnson May 2012 #40
Not maybe at all. Martin would be here if Zimmerman had not gotten out of his car, period. Quixote1818 May 2012 #49
I present the simplicity of this case... FarPoint May 2012 #50
Not a chance the apologists will stfu. Look the first response is one. notadmblnd May 2012 #4
I don't think the person answering the non-emergency line is necessarily petronius May 2012 #6
Currently the City of Sanford Police Department has an authorized staffing level of 140 sworn notadmblnd May 2012 #10
I think the chance that he was actually talking to the dispatcher is even greater; petronius May 2012 #13
Easy for you to prove me wrong. Call them and ask if a the speaker is a real officer notadmblnd May 2012 #16
You're the one making the claim - why haven't you already called? petronius May 2012 #17
No matter if a dispatcher or a cop answers tonight, that does not tell us who did that night. ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #18
Keep reaching.. and for your educational pleasure here is a copy of Sanford Fla's neighborhood notadmblnd May 2012 #28
Keep dodging that there is nothing to indicate Zimmerman spoke to an LEO on the phone ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #63
Would you believe me if I did tell you that I already called? Somehow, I think not. notadmblnd May 2012 #25
Your claim up above was that, because the phone was answered petronius May 2012 #29
all you have to do is call it and find out notadmblnd May 2012 #31
So you didn't actually call already? petronius May 2012 #33
Dispatchers are cheaper than officers ProgressiveProfessor May 2012 #20

This is interesting... dkf May 2012 #15
this has more relevance to the 911 calls rather than the OP grok May 2012 #27

I find her credible also grok May 2012 #53

Silly rabbit...the Zimmerman fan club wouldn't believe anything a black girl said anyway! alcibiades_mystery May 2012 #57

Unfortunately, the defense will simply call her a liar. Tommy_Carcetti May 2012 #74

Yes, that's what we called in law school long ago, "dying declaration." amandabeech May 2012 #89
