Zimmerman recounts shooting Martin: "He told me, 'Shut the fuck up.' I kept yelling for help."
Zimmerman recounts shooting Martin in vivid detail
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/21/12336010-zimmerman-recounts-shooting-martin-in-vivid-detail?lite
Varying accounts of what happened between Zimmerman, 28, and Martin, 17, inside the gated community in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26 have trickled out to the public via state prosecutors, lawyers and relatives. But on Thursday morning, Zimmerman's defense team released a trove of information gathered in the initial days of the investigation that includes a never-heard police interview with Zimmerman himself.
The one hour, 11-minute videotaped interview was conducted almost exactly 24 hours after the single gunshot fired by Zimmerman pierced Martin's chest. Police used the interview to perform a computerized voice stress analysis, which detects psychological stress based on voice patterns, on Zimmerman.
"I reached for my pocket, and I was looking for my phone, and he just punched me in the nose. And I fell backwards, to the side, somehow I ended up on my back. He ended up on top of me and he just kept punching my face and my head," Zimmerman said, adding that he was "screaming for help" as Martin allegedly pummeled him.
"He told me, 'Shut the f*** up.' I kept yelling for help," Zimmerman told police.
