Mr. Tracy Benjamin Martin

I heard the testimony of Mr. Tracy Benjamin Martin as regards the first time he heard the 911 tape of his son's voice after the young man was killed.
I had to cry.
I wanted to feel detached from the terrible sadness.
Mr. Martin heard the tape when he went to the Sandford Police Station to identify his boy. He made
himself think he could be going to pick him up. When the tape was played for him, he pushed away
from the table where they'd seated him, dropped his head, and said, "No."
Naturally the word would apply to denial of the facts and circumstances of his son's death, not necessarily the fact of whose voice he believed he heard crying out.
But then Mr. Martin said a month into Trayvon's death, he listened to that tape again over twenty times in the office of the Sandford mayor, to see if he could figure out what made someone stalk and kill his son.
He remarked it was his son's last cry for help.
Finally, Mr.Tracy Martin was excused from court questioning. He got up and walked out of the room as fast as it seems his seemingly weak or buckling legs would carry him. His head was hanging so far to his side, his neck seemed to be broken.
