Suspicious. he had done that numerous times in the past. he calls in on this occasion, according to the defense, because he thought there was suspicious behavior. >> earlier the judge put off the decision of whether to allow the jury to hear some of those calls. nonemergency calls that zimmerman made to the police, reporting suspicious behavior that he was witnessing. here's what he had to say about the calls directly. >> they always get away. those aren't any words but his. and the fact that he said them that night in that context makes this relevant evidence. >> they're going to be asking th...

Clearly, that one did not go over. >> on a serious note, the 911 tape, they're allowing it but without context. is that essentially the judge's way of saying draw your own conclusions about what you hear here? >> right. so the 911 tape is going to come in as is george zimmerman's calls to the nonemergency police number. the experts that the prosecution wanted to bring in to testify about who was screaming, they can't testify. but the jury can hear for themselves. the jury can also hear, for example, from trayvon martin's mother, who has already told law enforcement that's trayvon martin scream...
