Justification instructions. and overall the jury instructions as a whole were somewhat confusing. we know that because the jurors had to ask questions about them and they werent certain on manslaughter. ultimately though were really only left with what this juror tells us because at the end they just came back and said not guilty. they dont need to say not guilty and here are our reasons why. but youre absolutely right that additional instruction allows -- just gives them another avenue to hang ...

Stand your ground, before 2005, the jury in the trayvon martin/george zimmerman trial would have been instructed that had george zimmerman been able to avoid the conflict or flee from the conflict, meaning dont follow someone, he then would have gotten an instruction that would have allowed the jury to find a way to convict. but stand your ground provision basically, in the words of dan gelber who voted against it, its almost like the stupid, reckless uncivil behavior. you can provoke, start a f...

The best we can. >> there was a wealth of hard, cold physical evidence, dna and everything else that showed that george zimmerman lied in his statements to the police. >> there was no sort of narrative that this jury could follow, that america could follow. >> the problem youve got in a trial is you cant say jury dont speculate and then ask them to speculate. and so were left with the defendants story and what we attempted to do as best we could was to prove that his story was false. therefore, ...

Narrative that this jury could follow, that america could follow. >> well, the problem youve got in a trial is you cant say jury, dont speculate and then ask them to speculate. and so were left with the defendants story. and what we attempted to do as best we could is to prove that his story was false. therefore, why would he be lying about something? something minor about trying to get an address. i thought that was blatantly obviously a lie. and when i was talking to the jury, when i was argui...

>> yes. >> and the problem you have is there was enough evidence, even though i would argue it was insignificant or very little, that there was self-defense. you had john good. you had other people. so they were going to be able to get an instruction as to self-defense. and once we knew that was coming on, we felt we needed to put his statement on and just disprove it. >> and we had the injuries. and the injuries indicate there was some sort of a struggle. our position all along, we never said t...

Re-enactment where he showed, for example, the positioning of the gun behind him. they didnt argue that during the trial. they mentioned it finally in the closing argument, only very bre briefly, not driving it home. so, you know, they didnt win the case. as to whether it could have been won had it been handled differently, thats the roadwea question. >> did the prosecution blow it? >> i think they had probably about a dozen major blenders in the case. by the end, the jury had two sides that wer...

>> and it is decided this morning. >> people are going to have feelings about it, theyre going to be passionate, but thats why our job is to kind of present this picture of what happened at trial, what the facts were and why the jury found what they did. remember, they took their job very seriously. they came back, asked a question about that instruction. sunny found it clear. i found it a little unclear. i understand why they were confused about how to fit the facts into that particular crime b...

Morning long. ill get back to you on that. and well discuss in detail the instruction on the manslaughter charge. we talked about it yesterday. there were concerns about it, and obviously, the jurors shared them, the jury shared them. well be back to you, george and sunny. thank you very much. we want to broaden this into more of the reaction from trayvon martins relatives saying they didnt want this case to be about race. that was the big issue that seemed to be in the room the entire time, rig...

That tha they may be looking at that. then you have to wonder. the defense, did they really make a great case for self defense? it looks like now they really did. >> well, and again, i think all of those factors, i would agree with everything you said, and again, the law is very, very clear in this. the other thing is the law goes even a little bit further and when it says that the danger facing george zimmerman not even have been actual or real but the appearance of danger must have been so rea...

What they wanted was some more detail about manslaughter charges against george zimmerman and the death of 17-year-old trayvon martin. back on february 26th, 2012. and now we know just a few hours later and really i should mention just a short time after they came back from a dinner break, they have reached a verdict. whats key for you to know in all of this, there were a few possibilities for george zimmerman. one would have been second degree murder, and as we have guests tonight on fox newsch...
