George Zimmerman: Trayvon Was the Aggressor (Video)

The trial of George Zimmerman for the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin continued into its second week. On Monday, jurors heard the defense's account of the night of the killing. According to the defense, Martin was the initial aggressor and was reaching for Zimmerman's gun when Zimmerman killed him.

Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton testified on Friday that screams from a 911 call were those of her murdered 17-year-old son.

Identifying which of the two men were screaming could be a key piece of evidence in determining who was the aggressor at the time.
