George Zimmerman Trial Live Stream: Jurors Hear from Police Officer Chris Serino (Video)

By

On Monday, jurors heard George Zimmerman tell police what happened the night he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Also on Monday, the two investigators who questioned him about why he followed Martin and why he never told him he was with the neighborhood watch, CBS News reported.

"From our vantage point you had two opportunities to ID yourself as someone who didn't mean to do no harm," the lead investigator Chris Serino said. The lead detective testified that he first spoke to Zimmerman just after midnight following the shooting. The interview only lasted for five minutes. He also said that he had spent most of the evening interviewing witnesses and trying to identify Martin.

Serino said Zimmerman showed little emotion and he found it odd that Zimmerman was concerned with going to work and then attending class the day after he killed someone.

In the February 29 interview tape, Serino and Detective Doris Singleton, who took the stand before him, questioned Zimmerman about his assertion that he was afraid of Martin and didn't want to confront him.

On the video, the detectives also question him about the profanity-laced language he used on a non-emergency call to describe suspicious people in his neighborhood --- "f---ing punks" and "these ---holes."

Zimmerman said he was referring to people that "victimize the neighborhood."
