<p>In order for the jury to acquit, they have to believe Z was in reasonable fear of his life, and had no choice but to shoot. They have to believe, for example, that Z, who says he was the one screaming “Help, Help,” was unable to scream, “Let me go or I’ll shoot you.” We’ve got the audio. Nobody screamed, “Let me go or I’ll shoot you.”</p>
<p>And if Zimmerman says the screaming was actually Trayvon Martin, the jury will convict in a millisecond. If you listen to the tape in the belief the screaming is Trayvon Martin, about to be shot, you’ll be willing to kill Z yourself. </p>
<p>I do not know who is screaming in the tape, but the existence of the screams is a problem for the defense.</p>
