A special prosecutor in the second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman released more evidence Thursday, including a first glimpse at what the FBI has found in its civil rights investigation, according to reports.
"I was yelling for help, but no one would help me," Zimmerman allegedly told Officer Tim Smith, who was first on the scene in the gated community in Sanford, Fla., after Zimmerman shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman had his concealed weapons permit in his wallet at the time, Smith told an investigator, the newly released evidence revealed, according to?The Orlando Sentinel.
Sanford police officers were interviewed by nearly a dozen FBI agents. Agents also spoke with Zimmerman's former girlfriend, as well as his neighbor, Frank Taffee, and employees at the gun store where Zimmerman bought the firearm used to shoot Martin, according to The Sentinel.
There weren't expected to be any major surprises in the new batch of evidence from Special Prosecutor Angela Corey.
One of her investigators interviewed Martin's cousin, who was with him ?earlier in the day, who said he "did not see Trayvon smoke marijuana," The Sentinel reported.
When asked to identify a voice pleading for help in the background of a 911 call from that night, Martin's cousin said it was "without a doubt, on a stack of Bibles," Martin's voice, according to documents.
Unidentified witnesses were interviewed, too, the paper said.
Also being released today, according to The Sentinel:?
- Cell phone records from Trayvon Martin's father, Tracy
- Emails from Zimmerman and Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee
- Crime scene photos and diagrams
- Seminole County jail records. Zimmerman has been arrested and freed on bail twice since he was charged with second-degree murder on April 11.
