Was supposed to do, see and call, none of us would be here. none of us. but 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 much. that is why he got out of the car. if he really wanted the police to get trayvon martin, what would he have done? he would have stayed in his car and driven to the back gate where he had told them so many times they always go through the back gate and he would have...

To it. so no matter what you think about george zimmerman, ive got strong feelings about george zimmerman and what he did and how he should have behaved that evening. i think a lot of what he did put all of this in motion. strictly as a legal matter, strictly as a legal matter, the case begins when the confrontation starts. who started it, who ended the confrontation, and who responded aggressively in that confrontation. we simply dont have facts to support that. the prosecutions case really fal...

Might have forgotteforgotten. i think he did a good job. im concerned there wasnt enough focus on the manslaughter which is where the concern needs to be for the defense. >> faith, how do you think this will play with a jury of six women when you had john guy talking about the greatest fear that a child has is being followed, going home, being followed by a stranger in the dark. i imagine hes probably looking to those jurors who are mothers and thinking this is something that they can relate to....

With sunny hostin, jeffrey toobin and page. page, first of all, what was your bottom line assessment on, this the final day of arguments? >> it was a long day for the jury and im not at all surprised they were ready to go home at 6:00. i think the lawyers did a great job. i think the state, the prosecution had to bring emotion back into this case. they certainly tried to do that. mr. guys rebuttal closing argument was fantastic. for the first time in a long time the jury was asked to step into t...

Statements, he asked the jury to focus on one key issue, reasonable doubt. >> how many would have beens have you heard from the state, how many what ifs have you heard from the state in this case? they dont -- i dont think anyway -- they dont get to ask you, i dont think they get to ask you what do you think? no, no no. no, no, no. what have i proven to you? what have i convinced you beyond a reasonable doubt occurred in this case so much so that you have dont have any reasonable doubt as to tho...

Just sort of the mood. this is such a pivotal point in this trial. >> this is it. its very emotional here. to look at the juxtaposition of the prosecution and the defense this morning in the closing arguments, and then the rebuttal, quite frankly during john guys rebuttal, you could -- it was quiet as a church mouse. you could hear a pin drop. it was very emotional. hes playing on the jurys emotion. quite frankly, this is going to be -- besides the judges instructions, his words will be the last...

The guy they want you to believe the neighborhood watch wanna be. they may want you to assume that, it would seem. you would have to assume it because you certainly cant find it. so, youll have to assume that this neighborhood watch guy was just some crazy guy walking the neighborhood. looking for people to harass. except, thats an assumption without any basis and fact whatsoever. not one. another note from mr. guy. if im wrong about that, let him tell you. lets show the point where mr. jones sa...

Not george zimmermans voice screams at you or yells at you and curses at you? no. i would contend. listen to the tape. dont listen to mr. guy. im sure people say that i look like joel osteen. i think mr. guys trying to sound like him with his really loud f-ing -- [inaudible] you know, do we need that? i do a little bit, i guess, but do we need that type of anger coming out from a prosecutor rather than from a defendant? is that really the way were going to present this case to a jury? one piece ...

A slab, but, again, you know, he was killed by george zimmerman, whether or not it was murder or justifiable homicide is the question. so i think to call attention to the fact that trayvon martin was, you know, on an autopsy slab, i dont know that it was that effective. >> jeffrey, listen to this. this is john guy, one of the prosecutors, making an important point before the jury. let me play the clip. >> and if there was ever any doubt about what happened, really happened, was it not completely...

Book. but i definitely, it was in the class, or it was an online class and we spoke about it. and he told me that he wanted to be a prosecutor. and i think he said, he may not say this, he just seemed to be easy going or i liked him or something like that. the guy who was first on skype and then on cell phone. and then the other professor they brought in to say to you, oh, yeah, i taught him this. we talked about self-defense. yeah, we talked about it. and he knew about it. so, yeah, thats what ...
