>> -- it could fall apart. but, laura, whats interesting is that the prosecutor didnt buy into the racial narrative. the prosecutor bought into the narrative of ill will, spite, and evil although i dont think they proved it at all under any view of the evidence. as someone who had profiled trayvon as a criminal not the racial profiling in terms of, you know, trayvon himself in color. so, at the end of the day, laura, i agree with you. the prosecution did note that n issue in this case. they did ...

George zimmerman murder trial. it could happen any moment now. of course, well carry it live. jury is well into the second day of deliberations. these six jurors all females are now inside the courthouse in sanford florida weighing all the evidence. they have asked for one thing and full and complete inventory list of the evidence that was accepted by the judge. they have a few options to consider. they can find him not guilty of all of the charges, either the prosecution didnt prove its case at...

The defendant really as i say, doesnt have to do anything. but in this case, this defendant did everything. they did something more so than most cases that ive ever seen. that is to say, he was actually saying, my client is factually innocent and he put forth the evidence. in many ways, this defense counsel tried this case like he was the prosecutor, and that he was in fact trying to prove that his client is in fact innocent. and the prosecutors were on the defensive. and so this is highly unusu...

Regard to human life. they have to show that. >> gregg: then you go down below and defines depraved to human life, ill-will and several other things klsmt is why the prosecutor, i wanted to play another clip, kept hammering this ill-will, ill-will, take a look. >> i would say one more than a little angry. that is frustration. that is ill-will, hatred, made up his mind he is a criminal and tired of criminals committing xhikt crimes and my god, he is not going to get away. >> gregg: its arguable a...

Martins death mere negligence is not enough. marcellus joins us and mercedes cowan is a legal analyst. marcellus let me begin with you. i dont want to get too fine of a legal point but prosecutors have an option. they could have on manslaughter have chosen option "a" which was culpable negligence. its kind of recklessness. instead they chose simply an intentional act that results in death and mere negligence is not enough. it appears that is an easier standard for prosecutors to prove? >> yeah, ...

Got to acquit george zimmerman. >> well, not any doubt, but a reasonable doubt, for sure. and its the prosecutions burden to not only prove their case in terms of a second-degree murder, but also disprove that george zimmerman was justified. they have to disprove that they had a reasonable belief in his own imminent death or great bodily injury. its a burden for the prosecution to shoulder and thats why it was so important for john guy to start with the very beginning of everything, as he did to...

Because of the verdict comes back not guilty, i think that will promote a lot of ill will. hopefully not. but we even think some violence because people will be so upset that he wasnt held accountable for what he did. and from my view, if he would have just listened to the 911 person and not gotten out of the car, we wouldnt be here now and, of course, i have a question about why are you even carrying a gun for a neighborhood watch position. >> i want to play for a second, this was one of the, t...

A while. the prosecutors, i think, are in unfamiliar territory and thats why in my opinion theyve been so abysmal. its almost as if they are desperate defense lawyers trying to defend a position. >> danny, you thought one of the worst moments was when the prosecutors focused on zimmerman forming the neighborhood watch. >> those actions werent anything sinister or terrible or evil or of ill will. those are actions that occur throughout the united states in many cities unfortunately. where crimes ...

>> thats cement. that is a sidewalk. and that is not an unarmed teen-ager with nothing but skittles trying to get home. that was somebody who used the availability of dangerous items from his fist to the concrete to cause great bodily injury. not that it was necessary for self-defense but great bodily injury against george zimmerman. and the discussion by the state that thats not a weapon, that that cant hurt somebody that, that cant cause great bodily injury is disgusting. >> the prosecutor joh...

Now. the judge said shell be back and give a ten-minute break. i want to talk about the drama. this will come down to ill-will, spite, self-defense, filling in the time line. thats what mark omara spoke about this morning. i want to bring in danny callan, mark nejame and jeff gold. they all join me now. im going to rely on mark a little bit here. hes sitting next to me. ill get to the other guys in a moment. he spoke a lot this morning. he talked about reasonable doubt, reasonable doubt even exp...
