Apparently, it was the phone recording of Zimmerman's call to the Sanford PD dispatcher.
Prosecutors: Zimmerman did not use racial slur during 911 call about Trayvon Martin - The Washington Post
Digital enhancement by the FBI or FDLE probably provided the clarity to determine that Zimmerman never used a racial slur.
Despite what some people think they heard, prosecutors say George Zimmerman did not utter a racial slur in his call to 911 on the night he shot Trayvon Martin.
The disputed words on the recording turned out to be “these f------ punks,” prosecutors said in an affidavit filed Thursday in support of the murder charges brought against the neighborhood watch volunteer in the Feb. 26 slaying of the unarmed black teenager....In the Martin case, Zimmerman told a police dispatcher: “This guy looks like he is up to no good. He is on drugs or something.” Zimmerman reported that the teenager had his hand in his waistband and was walking around, looking at homes in the gated community in Sanford, which had had several break-ins in the past year.
“When we see the word ‘punks’ and we connect that to the word ‘profile,’ I don’t think that is compelling proof that it’s racial profiling,” said Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney in Miami who is now in private practice. “This guy appeared to Zimmerman to meet the profile of a criminal.”
He added: “Whether you’re white, black or Hispanic. You have a hoodie. You’re walking around.”
