for the loss of your son. i did not know how old he was. i thought he was a little bit younger than i am. and i did not know if he was armed or not. that expression of regret as you ll see did not move trayvon martin s family. it did, however, as you ll also see tonight, inject into a bond hearing that many thought would be routine. it was not. zimmerman s apology was only part of the reason why. today s hearing also exposed some of the strengths and many believe weaknesses of the prosecution s case. an investigator today admitted that he does not know one way or another who threw the first punch. martin or zimmerman. even though the second degree murder charge might indicate there was some evidence zimmerman was the aggressor. he admitted that there was no evidence for the claim he was attack bid martin. yet he also testified that the state has evidence raising doubts about other parts of zimmerman s story including his claim that trayvon martin was slamming his head again
i thought he was a little bit younger than i am. and i did not know if he was armed or not. that expression of regret as you ll see did not move trayvon martin s family. it did, however, as you ll also see tonight inject high drama into a bond hearing that many thought would be routine. it was not. zimmerman s apology was only part of the reason why. today s hearing also exposed some of the strengths and many believe weaknesses of the prosecution s case. for example, an investigator today admitted that he does not know one way or another who threw the first punch. martin or zimmerman. even though the second degree murder charge might indicate there was some evidence zimmerman was the aggressor. he admitted that there was no evidence for the claim he was attacked by martin while walking back to his truck. yet he also testified that the state has evidence raising doubts about other parts of zimmerman s story including his claim that trayvon martin was slamming his head agains
it s obvious that people will probably feel this way. and possibly get on the campaign trail and be a part of the obama administration. do you think she ll get on the campaign trail? i think she has to. she has to go witness. absolutely. she is associated why the fact the unemployment is so high. i think . [ talking over each other ] but he endorsed the team of rivals and he picked her for that for that reason. they worked very well together. i think this is a win-win situation. obama is pretty radioactive right now. heather: we have another interview segment. democratic switchers. and michele bachmann getting in some trouble. we ll talk about that and more with our power panel coming up.
should not own those things that president bush was responsible for. the president did not get us into the iraq war. president bush did. president bush made mistakes but president obama doesn t. president obama has very been clear. even in that interview segment you just showed, the president later on admitted i ve made mistakes. i ll make mistakes in the future. i think he s been very candid on that front. i do disagree, though, it was not just a messaging issue. you said it was a policy issue but most americans don t know what s in the health care bill to this day which is isn t that problematic? it is problematic. that s a communications issue and that s a mistake he s owned up to. maybe 2,000 pages long. they ve run a campaign since the beginning. they ve put the campaign types in the white house, gibbs and everybody else and at the end of the day, it s not a campaign. it s about public policy. he s out there again, the year before there s even a republican candidate
