It just seems like you would want a couple of males on there just so they could maybe kind of align themselves with george zimmerman and actually being in a situation of danger at some time in their live with a gun or without. >> all right. and you know, im sitting here still with jeff gold. jeff, you were shaking your head when mark was talking. >> i agree with mark. the thing is this. were all forgetting theres an eyewitness, john good, who sees with his two eyes trayvon martin pummeling georg...

You know, what this case is all about. the defense wants to make it about self-defense, wants to make it about what happened when they were confronted and doesnt want anyone on the jury to think about what started this emotion. but that is a very critical piece of the prosecutions case. had george zimmerman listened to the 911 dispatcher when he said, dont follow him, we dont need you to do that, we wouldnt all be here. we wouldnt be in sanford talking about this and the jury is going to notice ...

Night. i think the prosecution has answered the question as to what happened that night. they are -- what is before the jury is that george zimmerman chased, profiled trayvon martin as a criminal and shot him. you know, and they have dispelled i think george zimmermans version of events. you cant believe what he says because there are so many inconsistencies. what are you left with? forensics and the forensics show trayvon martin was shot and killed by george zimmerman. i thought the closing was...

Dispelled i think george zimmermans version of events. you cant believe what he says because there are so many inconsistencies. what are you left with? forensics and the forensics show trayvon martin was shot and killed by george zimmerman. i thought the closing was masterful, brilliant. i thought they really changed the narrative, the focus was on trayvon martins death and george zimmermans actions on that night. i was looking at the jury, and they were captivated. >> the second half of his sum...

End. but we do know who started the confrontation. this is a simple case from the start. we know that george zimmerman killed trayvon martin. the question before the jury is was he justified? the only justification comes from george zimmerman. and as we saw the state do, they brought in george zimmermans inconsistencies. the jury is going to be instructed you can believe somebody or not believe them. and the weight to decide is how many times do they tell the truth, versus exaggerate or tell a l...

Thats wrong. and causes racial division. were supposed to be equal in this country. of course, thats impossible but it is a noble goal. no question the zimmerman trial is now a racial deal rather than a justice deal. is acquitted, by a jury of five white women and hispanic lady, it will be racial animus. wait and see. and thats the memo. now for the top story tonight, the latest on the zimmerman martin trial here now is it legal team kimberly guilfoyle and lis wiehl. it is almost over. >> almost...

Were pretty much the forensics expert that the defense called up there, and that the forensics expert testified that george zimmermans account of what happened matches up with the forensics, he said it makes sense there was no bruises on trayvon martins hands even though he delivered that kind of -- you know, beatdown to george zimmerman, the reason why? well, he was dead. once your blood stops flowing, you stop bruising. another good point, the defense believes trayvon martin was only alive for...

When this first started? >> when it first started? thats correct, sir. >> so paul henderson, he could not establish, could not offer expert testimony as to whom the initiator was, but he did offer pretty compelling testimony in terms of how the final act was committed. do you disagree with that? >> i dont disagree. look, this was a good witness for the defense, and he was very credible and informative it almost felt like a class in forensics when he was explaining his thoughts and his ideas abou...

Di maio was an expert witness for you. how much cache does he have c e compared to other witnesses, for example, the medical examiner who testified last week and came to a very different conclusion than di maio. do you think the fact he comes in with the fact that he is so respected in this field, that he has written textbooks on forensics, that the jury relies on him more than other conflicting witnesses? >> he is is the go-to guy for gunshot wounds. i have the book here because i was looking a...
