Zimmerman Case: Dr. Hirotaka Nakasone, FBI, and the low-quality 3-second audio file

/

Hey folks, Over at Legal Insurrection I just posted on yesterday’s devastating testimony by Dr. Hirotaka Nakasone, the FBI’s expert on speaker recognition, and his conclusion that attempting to identify the person screaming from the Witness #11 recording can only be described as scientifically “disturbing”.  I discuss his explanation in great detail, but if you

/

Last Friday prosecutors in the Zimmerman self-defense case filed in limine motions asking the judge to prohibit defense lawyers from introducing evidence of Trayvon Martin’s history of violence and drug use at trial.   (An in limine motion is simply a request to the judge that certain evidence be excluded from a trial.)
