One was of george zimmerman, one was trayvon martin wearing a hoodie but only an outline. he brought out this huge chunk of concrete to say this really could be a weapon. you could sense its heft. he had four minutes of silence. he said im going to stop talking and youll hear from me in a bit. he wandered around courtroom, didnt say a word, fiddled with this evenin things and it was silence. he said that is how much time trayvon martin had to run away. powerful. very powerful. then john guy come...

States closing arguments, the defense, and then the rebuttal closing arguments. i think these jurors were so captivated by john guys delivery, and i have been wondering to myself, why would the state pick six women? why would they be okay with that? because conventional wisdom says it may be more of a defense-oriented jury. well, the state argued to the jury today. and i think the most powerful moment during the rebuttal argument, john guy got up, who, by the way, was nicknamed mcdreamy, all the...

Sybrinas brother is also here, as well the sea of their foundation. very personal for them. theyre very tired at this point. its been a very, very long, enduring four weeks for them. and so they are trying to do their best to make it to the end. but as you know, there was a lot of emotional testimony this week. for example, to sit through the defense case and hear people make statements that all of us knew are not true or lacked good foundation was very tough for them. however, today they were v...

You know, in the robert blake case, i didnt want him -- i was his lawyer at the time. i didnt want him to interview with barbara walters and he insisted. during his trial the prosecutor brought that in. he didnt testify because he didnt have to. he protested his innocence on the tape and was acquitted. in the michael jackson case, the prosecution brought in the martin bashir interview with michael jackson. i didnt have to put him on and subject him to cross-examination either and he was acquitte...

In their favor. >> it is a tragedy, truly, but you cant allow sympathy to feed into it. >> did he really need to shoot? did he have to shoot trayvon martin? no, he didnt. >> so who has the momentum as the jury deliberations the george zimmerman trial. out front, former attorney for casey anthony, and joins me tonight. i am so glad to have both of you because you have been there, you have judged that and argued it. you both know. what weve done here is basically take the closing arguments of mark...

I think that there is going to be a real question of what happened, what motivated him, and did this need to happen. and i think a manslaughter charge could come back. >> well, lets talk about this on reasonable doubt and self defense, because when you talk about manslaughter or not guilty, it is going to come down to that point. and here again are john guy and mark omara. >> you look at these facts, you look at all of this evidence. and you have to say i have a reasonable doubt as to whether or...

Because he did match the description, unfortunately. and thats just maybe happenstance. well talk more about that, too. so, he calls it in and stays on the phone. like hes supposed to. thats what youre supposed to, describe him. think hes black, after being asked. black, white, hispanic. so, how do we move from im looking at a suspicious guy that im not sure. its raining out. hes obviously not coming in the main entrances. maybe thats an issue. when you look at those reports, youll see that ther...

Done nothing wrong. the bottom line is, the bottom line, think about this, if that defendant had done only what he was supposed to ed to do, see call, none of us would be here. none of us. thats not who he was. thats not where he was that night in his heart after months of these people getting away. not tonight, not this one, not that guy. thats why he got out of the car. if he really wanted the police to get trayvon martin, what would he have done?
