He needs some help grooming what he has left on top!

BOOM!

Sean Noffke just dispels the notion that he "ordered" Zimmerman to do anything, that such instructions are merely "suggestions" and "general", and that the reason for giving them is to protect the police department's liability.

There is a black male with glasses sitting on the Zimmerman side. He looks older. Anyone know who that is?

3:50 p.m.
Mantei asks about the “he’s running” conversation and the chiming noise heard. Noffke says its sounds like a car door.

Noffke says he was asking which way to update the officers.

Mantei asks why Noffke asked about following Martin.

Noffke says it sounded like movement and that’s why he asked.

Mantei asks why he didn’t order him to do that.

Noffke says the reason is because they are liable if they give a direct order so they give general statements.

Mantei says he’s still hearing the noises as he plays the next portion of the recording.

Mantei asks the purpose of getting the caller’s location.

Noffke says that is so the officer knows where to meet him.

Mantei asks about hanging up the phone.

Noffke says they would stay on the line when there is a physical altercation and the person stays in the area.

Mantei points out the request to have an officer call Zimmerman.

Mantei finishes questioning.

3:41 p.m.
Noffke says everyone handles everything. He typically works overnights until 2 a.m.

He says he had about one to two months of training.

Noffke says he believes he was working the night of Feb. 26, 2012.

Mantei hands him a paper.

Noffke says it is the recording and the screen he typed up.

He says typically with non-emergency calls, he states the agency name.

He says there are signals and standards for the urgency of the call. He says this call was routine. Others are priority or urgent.

Noffke says at the top is the call type and this was coded routine.

He says this call was “13-P,” which is a suspicious person.

He defines priority as anything that just occurred and urgent as anything with a weapon or loss of life possible.

Noffke says the non-emergency line doesn’t have the function to track calls.

Mantei asks if Noffke encounters technical difficulties in his line of work, jokingly. Mantei asks the judge to make sure everyone can hear. He plays the non-emergency call.

I have no idea why that kid was put on the stand in the beginning. He did let us know neither Tracy or his mother were home all day.

When they came home there was no concern where Trayvon was. They came home late too.

This is reminiscient of the bond hearing, slower breaking apart the call. Perfect...no anger, no animosity...

O'Mara's doing a really good job with Noffke

amazing how much more detailed the defense is with witnesses ... how would GZ know what path if he didnt watch?

Good witness for defense!!
