The indictment. first of all -- having ill-will or hatred against somebody you thin tubing be a cremmal who is trying to break into your house and hurt somebody. most people arent going to have a big problem secondly with respect to the self defensor to. as long as he is acting in self defense. that stuff is not going to matter. that count is going to drop out. you are going to look at a manslaughter count. i dont think it will amount to too much. ill will, spite count. >> we shall see. thank yo...

All right. dan danny, i want you to come in here with your expert criminal mind. this is a strategy. this defense attorney has to bring up the words and characterize them, doesnt he in. >> absolutely. heres why. its been said before. the jury instructions require that the prosecution must prove they have the burden to show that ill-will, that hatred. the prosecution is trying to get witnesses to say this sounds like ill-will. the defense is trying to illicit system that says i know george zimmer...

Under cross-examination watch what happens. >> was there anything in georges voice that gave you the impression that he was angry or acting with ill-will, spite or hatred on that phone call? >> no. >> okay. little confusing but bear with me because theres so much direct, cross, redirect, re, reand re-re. what she was saying was that when she heard those words and im sorry i cant say them and we cant play them. they were used to bring out what kind of person this was. what kind of intent this was...

Thats the only way they can have a second degree murder conviction. they are basing it on george zimmermans choice, his demeanor in those 911 calls with those specific words. weve heard the call so many times over and over again in court, we hear sort of a lackadaisical voice saying it, not someone who has that ill will, hate and evil intent. >> and devastating a depraved mind without regard for human life, thats a pretty high hurdle as well to convince that beyond a reasonable doubt. >> it is b...
