HLN played the experts who analyzed Zimmerman's voice using advanced technology:
He did not sound like he was saying "fucking coon(s)". The idea is that he was saying "fucking punks."
If he is arrested and charged, and if the advanced digitable recording of his voice is admissable in court, that can reduce the ability to try him for a hate crime unless they can find a history of targeting people in a racial and ethnic group other than his own racial and ethnic group.
Whether or not he was saying "coon" does not reduce all of the anger over this incident and does not necessarily shape whether he should be arrested and tried for his vigilante justice.
