Four women were called to testify in the trial of George Zimmerman Wednesday. The jury heard from two more former residents of the

Retreat at Twin Lakes, the communications deputy director for the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, and a young woman, who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin moments before he died.

Witness: Jayne Surdykas

Jayne Surdykas was questioned for almost 30 minutes before her emotional 911 call was played for the court.

She testified she lived alone with her cat and was in her bedroom, about to read a book, when she heard what she described as a “very loud, dominant voice.”

When she heard voices again, she said she looked out the window, had to turn off her night light to get rid of a glare and saw two people on the ground.

Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asked her about the yells for help and she responded that she felt it was a boy’s voice she heard.

She also testified that she heard three popping noises. “Pop, pop, pop,” she said, describing the gunshot.

The court heard the almost 15-minute call she made to 911, in which Surdyka is heard overcome with emotion.

When the call was over, and De la Rionda asked if it was a traumatic event for her, she answered yes.

During cross-examination, defense attorney Don West asked her about assumptions she might’ve made, including whose voice the yelling belonged to.

He asked if she assumed the deeper voice was Zimmerman’s.

“Again, it sounded like a man’s voice, the louder aggressive voice,” she said.

West also asked her about being interviewed on national TV. She said she was interviewed, but her they disguised her voice and hid her appearance.

Witness: Jeanne Manalo

The next witness, Jeanne Manalo, testified that she looked outside multiple times. The first time was upon hearing a howling sound. The next time was when she heard what sounded like “help.” And another time was when she saw two people on the ground.

During cross-examination, defense attorney Mark O’Mara spent an extended amount of time questioning Manalo about her assertion that one person was bigger than the other, and she thought that bigger person was Zimmerman based on pictures she saw in the news.

Manalo returned after a lunch break and gave more testimony about how she determined the size of Zimmerman and Martin.

O’Mara showed her multiple pictures, often seen in media reports, of Martin and asked her if she had seen them.

When he asked her if she would acknowledge that her comparison was based on old photos of Martin, she said yes.

Manalo also testified that her husband went outside after hearing the gunshot and he is the one that gave paramedics a plastic Wal-Mart bag.

Previous 911 Calls

The state next recalled deputy director of communications for Seminole County, Ramona Rumph.

Prosecutor Richard Mantei walked through each of the five calls Zimmerman previously made to police with Rumph.

Rumph testified that police made contact with subjects on two occasions.

When during cross-examination, O’Mara asked if she was aware of police arresting one of the person’s they talked to, she said no.

Witness: Rachel Jeantel

The most amount of time spent on the stand Wednesday, with more than two hours, was by 19-year-old Rachel Jeantel.

Jeantel, who was only known before as witness number eight, was on the phone with Martin moments before the shooting that took his life.

De la Rionda questioned her about the conversation she had with Martin on the phone as he walked back from the 7-Eleven store.

She said Martin used a racial slur to describe the man following him, and called him “creepy” and “white.”

She says Martin was going to try to “lose” the man following him, but she also overheard Martin say “Why are you following me for?” and then heard “What you doing around here?” from someone she described as a hard-breathing man.

The court had trouble transcribing Jeantels answers on multiple occasions.

Jeantel had tissues in her hands and seemed to fidget as she answered questions about why she didn’t go to Martin’s funeral and lied about being in the hospital.

During cross examination, Jeantel seemed abrupt in some of her responses to West.

West questioned her about how she became involved after Martin’s death and what led up to her interview with Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump.

Jeantel admitted to lying about her age and the reason she didn’t go to Martin’s funeral.

At one point, she mentioned the show “The First 48” on A&E as to why she assumed she would get a phone call from investigators.

Later, as West went over her deposition testimony with her, Jeantel seemed agitated in giving a response, patting the witness stand with her hand in emphasis and asking West if he was listening.

Jeantel is due back in court Thursday when testimony resumes.
