If the father were "taking a side", he would have said the voice was his son's. That way, it would seem like his son was crying for help, and you know, got shot anyway. Which would make it murder. But if it were Zimmerman crying for help, then it would be more likely to be self-defense.
So I think you're confused - if the father is right (in saying that the call for help was not his sons), then self-defense comes more likely, not less likely. And... I don't see why Trayvon's father would lie about that, since it doesn't help his son's cause.
