Note To Prosecutors of Murderer George Zimmerman: Ever Hear of Voiceprints?

Idiotic doings in the trial of murderer George Zimmerman, who stalked and shot dead black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida as he was walking to his father's home. The prosecutor put Trayvon's mother on the stand to identify the recording of the screaming voice hysterically calling for help (moments before Zimmerman executed Martin) as her son. The defense counters with Zimmerman family members absurdly insisting the screamer is Zimmerman.

Anybody down there in the fevered swamps of the South ever hear of voiceprints? Voiceprints can identify people pretty well. And surely there are existing recordings of Martin (from voice messages, say) and there should be of Zimmerman (if the police had done a proper job and recorded his initial interrogation, which they probably didn't, or erased them). It's not very high tech. The NSA has been using voiceprints for decades to pick out people the U.S. stalks from the massive surreptitious seizures of phone calls it conducts globally. Voiceprints uniquely identify individuals, just as fingerprints do.

The detective who interrogated Zimmerman in effect testified on the killer's behalf, saying he believed Zimmerman's obvious lies. (Zimmerman has been caught lying repeatedly since his arrest, including in court about his finances.)
