Trayvon Martin's Girlfriend took the stand to describe the phone call he made to her just as he ran into George Zimmerman and was killed. We look at her testimony and react to the footage with former prosecutor Loni Coombs, and discuss what went on in the courtroom, and try to make sense of her testimony on this episode of Crime Time.

GUEST BIO:
Loni Coombs attended Brigham Young University, graduating at the age of nineteen with a bachelor's degree in psychology and minors in philosophy and music. In 1988, after graduating from Pepperdine Law School, Loni began her legal career as a criminal trial prosecutor for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. Her numerous felony trials ranged from murders to sex crimes and DUIs.

From 2003 to 2005, Loni headed up the District Attorney's Hate Crimes Unit, monitoring discrimination cases throughout the county and training law enforcement agencies.

In 2006, Ms. Coombs transitioned into the broadcast world as a legal analyst for national and local broadcast outlets, including CNN, Court TV (now TruTV), Extra, The View, Entertainment Tonight, and KTLA. Loni covered various trials including Phil Spector, OJ Simpson, Mel Gibson, Warren Jeffs, and Casey Anthony. Her daily coverage of the Phil Spector trial on KTLA.com earned her an AP award.

Loni anchored newscasts (KTLA's Prime News, KDOC's Daybreak OC), co-hosted talk shows (KTLA's 9 am Morning Show, Fox's San Diego Living), and reported from the field (KTLA's Morning News and Prime News). Loni appears as a regular contributor on "Dr. Phil", "The Doctors", and "Dr. Drew."
