Hand on his shoulder, because of this guy over here. great. wonderful. it shows how you can take all the animation and the whoopty whirlygigs and go a little too far. and giving john guy the open door he walked through to smack them down and say this is about human beings, not cardboard cutouts, and not cartoons. and he did it beautifully. >> joy, both the prosecution and the defense talks about common sense, the jurors using common sense. let me show you this. >> be careful with the common sens...

Different lies that the state asserts that george zimmerman has told. but i want to show this clip and talk to you a little bit about it on the other side. that is why he kept talking about oh, i didnt know the name of the street. i was looking for an address. >> because he cuts down here and made a right. >> did you catch that? did you catch him in one lie right there? he originally told the police, over and over before and even after this interview he didnt know the name of the street. and t...

Seemless using that animation and he made it very easy to understand. he also went through each witness and, you know, kind of put doubt in peoples minds with the state witnesses. so, i thought, you know, i thought he did a good job. >> sean: i thought also, look, i think visuals are always a good thing to use. it makes it more powerful. not guilty, not guilty, not guilty. not guilty. i thought he was laying out for them the standard. i thought that was a pretty effective. did you get any reacti...

The testimony of grieving parent sybrina fulton and tracy martin who talked about losing their 17-year-old son. >> my youngest son is trayvon benjamin martin. >> our world has just been turned upside down. >> and late in the trial john guy used a mannequin to demonstrate the states theory of the case. >> were you aware the defendant described to his best friend that when he slid down the defendant slid down, that trayvon martin was up around his arm pits? were you aware of that? >> no, i had not...

That was trayvon martins laugh emotion. >> guy then turned to the specifics, highlighting what he claimed are the inconsistencies in george zimmermans account and he also asked the jury to apply what he called common sense. >> if he was up on his waist, his waist is covered by trayvon martins legs. he couldnt have got the gun. he couldnt have. they wanted a reason? its a physical impossibility. he couldnt have grabbed it. the only way that defendant gets to his gun, the only way trayvon martin w...

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...

Rescue, if that tells you anything about it. >> yes. >> going back to the average person, one of the questions that i have gotten a lot, karen, is why did the defense allow five mothers on this jury? the assumption being that if youre a mother, you are going to immediately relate more to trayvon martin and to his family. >> and there was a report that the mom that did have the eight children was crying during the prosecutors closing. so thats very significant because thats telling you as an atto...

Least reenforce that the question is not about race. you have to make the decision based upon the evidence and that any prejudice that you may have against african americans you will put that aside. >> i thought it was so important that he did that. if you look at the -- john guy is a southern man and he is in a southern town. he first start the by excusing them on the issue of race. he gave them exculpat. he said i want you to do the same thing in this case with the black victim and the hispani...

Fifteen minutes could save you...well, you know. it is a tragedy, truly, but you cant allow sympathy to feed into it. when i say that to you, you should sit back, someone should raise their hand and twgo, are u nuts? how dare you tell me to leave sympathy out of my life, how dare you tell me to leave my emotions beside? how dare you? i dont do that ever in my life. welcome to a criminal room. >> im asking you to use your common sense. use your heart. use what you know is real. use what you kno...

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...
