If we strip emotion and biased politics from the below statement, it is interesting. Of course Kenneth leaps to his bias conclusions, but we will ignore that. When there is a scuffle between two people and screaming for help is heard until the sound of a firearm being discharged is heard. Then the "screaming" stops abruptly. First likely scenario is that the "screamer" realized there was no longer a threat and hence no need to scream for help. We know in that case the "screamer" would have been the one who discharged the weapon as the second party was deceased. If we assume it was the deceased who was screaming and the screaming ended immediately following the weapon's discharge, that could happen although the witness who called 911 stated the deceased was atop the holder of the weapon and the holder of the weapon was "screaming" or "yelling" for help. We also have to understand at the time of the discharge of the weapon there would be an immediate shock wave surrounding the two individuals as the weapon went off in close proximity as they fought. The fatal shot would have caused the deceased not to utter "screams" and the shock would have ended screams of the other for that split second as he realized there was no longer a threat. So far the witness at the scene who called 911 is likely the prime witness in this case as he is the one who can positively identify who was "screaming for help" and who was atop the other. The first observation of the wounds to both individuals and comprehensive post mortem examination reveal quite a bit more. Much is to be learned and tossing gas on an emotionally inflamed situation is irresponsible. As soon as the shot was fired, the yelling stopped. That means it was the boy who was yelling for help. Zimmerman's story about self defense cannot be accepted at face value.
