Happens when you overcharge for political reasons and thats what happened here. >> jane weintraub, heres my sense of what a lot of people think. which is, that in the end an unarmed 17-year-old teenager has been killed. and the idea that the person that did that is able to walk free, an innocent man guilty of nothing doesnt seem right to them. >> well, and i hear you, piers, and as a mother, of course, i understand, but as a lawyer, analyzing the evidence thats before us, and understanding the l...

Sense of what a lot of people think. which is, that in the end an unarmed 17-year-old teenager has been killed. and the idea that the person that did that is able to walk free, an innocent man guilty of nothing doesnt seem right to them. >> well, and i hear you, piers, and as a mother, of course, i understand, but as a lawyer, analyzing the evidence thats before us, and understanding the legal instruction that the judge will give the jury, that a reasonable doubt can be proven by a conflict in t...

Eight or ten occasions and each time, firearms safety was always at the first or the top of our list of discussions. >> and generally speaking, tell the jury what you mean by firearm safety. >> well, firearm safety at a range means always being safe and aware of where your firearm is being pointed, making sure its in a safe condition until youre ready to fire it or if its not being pointed in a direction that it shouldnt be pointed and making sure its handled correctly and george was very safe a...

It is clear that one of sheriff gonzalezs sources was involved in the attack itself. >> so they were given the instruction to go ahead and shoot and kill her also, but she was able to escape them. they also say she was able to get away from us and we kept shooting at her to hit her but she kept zig-zagging all over the place and we were not able to hit her. she says she was zigzagging when she was coming across being chased by the boat into the united states. and of course theres a witness who c...

Only eight knot wind. its light wind. thats going to be a real issue for investigators. theyll be looking at the landing, instrument landing systems. the pilot coordination. and they probably have -- theyll within by tomorrow have that cockpit voice recorder and replay it. >> miss schiavo, you touched on this just a little bit. how to you think so many people survived the terrible crash and the fire? how much should the flight crew be credited here during these emergencies? you mentioned making ...

In what he was wearing, because he was trying to intimidate george, but trayvon was moving away from him, when they finally met behind the townhouses, trayvon said hey, why are you following me? trayvon was not the aggressor here. and its important, because george zimmerman could have done something to stop this incident. george had been following the instruction of the dispatcher and stayed in his vehicle, this never would have happened. >> mr. parks, in the state of florida, the prosecution ha...

Defense and expectedly so. but even he says i never actually saw or even heard any blows really land. nobody heard 50 screams. i think theres a significant reason for the jury to question that even assuming that the defendant shot trayvon martin in some form of self-defense, that doesnt end the inquiry. and i know -- i think its been oversimplified. professor carter alluded to this. no, the standard is whether it was reasonable that he feared imminent death or great bodily harm. now, the defense...

To present a case, what kind of case are we looking at? >> i dont think the judge will grant this motion. if this case does go to the jury they will likely get the instruction for manslaughter, which is a lesser included offense, it in penalty under floor law for manslaughter is the same for murder 2, so that would still be a victory for the prosecution. i think if the jurors follow the law theyll have a complete acquittal here, and also, just to touch on another point, the all-female juror, fro...

Argument. its not the law. its not the instruction. the instrument is, was his action reasonable? and given what we now know about the defendants version and how much credibility he has, the defendants attitude and history and what he felt and thought and the actual extent of the injuries which, again, it is true that the law says you dont actually have to have injuries. you but why exaggerate them? why make them something that they really arent? so the question is whether he was reasonable in u...

Emanuel burgess, who was this one-person crime spree through retreat view circle who got five years in prison for his bevy of burglaries in that area. you were the sentencing judge in that case when he came before you about a year and a half ago. so, yeah, an unfortunate circumstance. that doesnt allow the outrageously over response by mr. martin. sticking to the ill will and hatred argument, basically in the light case, it was just not ill will because the courts looked to two other cases for t...
