Trayvon Martin’s mother and brother take the stand
It is an emotional day in court as Trayvon Martin’s family takes the stand this morning, where George Zimmerman is on trial for second degree murder.
It is an emotional day in court as Trayvon Martin’s family takes the stand this morning, where George Zimmerman is on trial for second degree murder. The prosecution’s first witness was Trayvon’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, “My youngest son is Trayvon Benjamin Martin. He’s in heaven.”
Fulton went on to state that the screams heard on the 911 call are most certainly Trayvon Martin’s.
Her son, Jahvaris Fulton, is also on the stand this morning. He states it was too emotional listening to the tape.
The prosecution will likely rest its case later today.
