Well, this is just...awful. If the reaction  to George Zimmerman's attorney's knock-knock joke is any indication, we didn't need any reminders of just how horrible the Trayvon Martin murder case is.However, the testimony of Martin's mother is here to remind you nonetheless.

"My youngest son is Trayvon Benjamin Martin. He's in heaven," began Sabrina Fulton, Trayvon's mother. 

On one of the central debates of the case, namely who is screaming on the tapes that have been played in court (Zimmerman maintains that it was him, which is crucial to his claim of self-defense in shooting the 17-year-old boy), Fulton was frank.

"I heard my son screaming," she said.
Prior to her testimony, Fulton sent out the following tweet:

The prosecution has made a convincing case that included a cringe-worthy exchange with the medical examiner who concluded that Trayvon Martin suffered an incredibly painful death.  They are expected to rest their case today, according to ABC.
