DEFENSE'S TURN Zimmerman Team Set for Next Round in Murder Trial Jul 8th 2013, 13:45 Jurors in the George Zimmerman murder trial will continue to hear the defense's presentation Monday after listening for two weeks as prosecutors made their case. Zimmerman's attorneys called their first two witnesses Friday after prosecutors rested their case and Judge Debra Nelson denied a request for acquittal. Some of the witnesses called by the defense could be the same neighbors and investigators called by prosecutors. On Friday, jurors saw a dramatic day of testimony in which the mothers of both Zimmerman and 17-year-old Trayvon Martin testified it was their own son's voice calling for help on a taped 911 call minutes before Zimmerman fatally shot the teen. The screams are considered to be crucial pieces of evidence because they could determine who was the aggressor in the confrontation. An FBI expert testified earlier in the week that a person familiar with a voice is in the best position to identify it. Zimmerman, 29, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming self-defense. It remains unclear whether Zimmerman will testify, although jurors already have heard his account through videotaped police interviews played in court. Zimmerman faces life in prison if convicted. The state argued during its opening statement that the neighborhood watchman profiled and followed Martin in his truck and called a police dispatch number before he and the teen got into a fight. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
