courthouse in sanford, florida. the brother on the witness stand. i expect his testimony to dovetail with his mother that yes this is trayvon martin s voice screaming for help on the 911 tape. is that about right? that s what we expect. the step brother just referred to trayvon as his brother. they lived together and spent many years together as teenagers and he just told the jury he was with her as well as the father tracy martin, their attorney and the mayor of city of sanford police in the day or two after the shooting. they played for all of them as a group that 911 tape with the screams and serena fulton said yes that s my son.
i just simply listened to the tape. just a short while later we heard from trayvon martin s brother, older brother jahvaris, talking when he heard the 911 tapes. do you recognize any voices on that tape? yes. whose voice do you recognize? my brother. trayvon s? yes. what parts of the recording do you recognize as your brother s voice? the yelling and the screaming. so i m back with nbc analyst lisa bloom, as well as here in studio gilani cobb following this trial for the new yorker and lisa, are you surprised by the brevity of trayvon martin s mother or was that pretty much all we could expect to get from her under the circumstances? i think that before her testimony, the lawyers at a side bar were arguing about the scope of her testimony and how much could come in and the judge made
she was poised. she was composed. she didn t take the bait to fight with mark o mara on cross-examination and she held steady to her statements that was her son trayvon martin screaming on that call. i think mark o mara did a good job of trying to just plant a little seed in the jury s mind that perhaps she was hoping rather than really knowing. all right. we re going to go back now to the trial. i believe this is javaris fulton, trayvon martin s older brother. a student at florida international university. and what year will you be at fiu this coming fall? this will be my senior year. do you have a major? yes. what is that? information technology. and are you a full-time student? yes. are you related to trayvon martin? yes. how soon. that s my brother. and are you older or younger than trayvon martin? older. how much older? about four and a half years.
reporter s question as a collateral matter because it s not the question that matters, it s the answer that s given. so your request is the objection is sustained. correct. for purposes i would like to have this clip which we played marked as an exhibit. exhibit jj? not come in but marked as jj. okay. i hear the locksmiths are here and the jury is out. let s take a brief recess to try to get that door open. i m going to remind you you re still on the stand while taking our recess. walk around, go back to where you were, but you cannot discuss your testimony with anybody, okay? all right. the court will be in recess until further notice. so the court is in a brief recess, everyone, and javaris fulton has completed his testimony for now. he may be called back to that stand to continue. let s bring in nbc legal analyst
