Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda hinted during the June 29 bond hearing that he plans to bring up the question of whether Zimmerman could have been the one heard screaming on the 911 tapes, if he was also being smothered by Martin. Here is what Zimmerman told Sean Hannity:

ZIMMERMAN: I felt him take — he had — after he couldn’t hit my head on the concrete anymore, he started to try to suffocate me. And I continued to take — push his hands off of my mouth and my nose, particularly because it was excruciating having a broken nose and him putting his weight on it.

And that’s the point in time when he started telling me to shut up, shut up, shut up.

There is also a dispute among multiple witnesses about who was heard calling for help, and at least one witness has changed their account of who they thought they heard screaming. Another witness told state attorneys investigators that her son, who was walking his dog on the night of the shooting, felt pressured by police to say that it was the person in the red jacket — meaning Zimmerman — crying for help, when he was not sure that was the case.
