Friend Recounts Trayvon Martin's Last Phone Call at Zimmerman Murder Trial 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman for killing unarmed
African-American teenager Trayvon Martin continues in Florida. On
Wednesday, Martin's friend, Rachel Jeantel, took the stand to testify
about her phone conversation with Martin just before Zimmerman shot him
dead. Jeantel said Martin described Zimmerman as a "creepy" man who was
following him. She said Martin's last words were "Get off! Get off!"
before the line went dead. Her testimony continues today.
