I don't think the State needs the evidence of who was screaming help. Zimmerman does. Zimmerman needs it bad. O'Mara is equating the screams for help by George as George's inability to retreat. Only the initial aggressor has to prove that they tried to retreat, and couldn't. George really, really needs to prove that he tried to get away before pulling out his weapon and shooting Trayvon.
My thoughts are why did the screaming end with the gunshot? Especially considering that George said
he didn't know if he had shot Trayvon. George also said that he didn't even know that Trayvon had died until later when officers told him at the police station. Now, If I had just shot someone in self-defense, and I didn't know if they were dead or not, I would not jump on their back and start trying to restrain them. I would probably hold the gun on them and keep screaming for help ...
