Prosecutors attacking -- sort of impeaching lifetime law enforcement officers who have dedicated their life to the pursuit of perfection in law enforcement. perfection. my god with, hes trained in everything. he takes something on, he becomes a trainer. and now we have the state impeaching him. well, hold on a second here. could have been this way, right? not really. well, let me ask you this question, mr. guy says. at that moment george zimmermans desire to shoot trayvon martin, what other opti...

Zimmerman who instigated the fight. and what they were trying to weave in the end, and i thought john guy also was very, very good. i was very emotionally affecting. and it also brought up something i was very confused as to why the prosecution didnt say before. this was a kid who was being followed who was probably scared. so the idea that someone is following you, is that in and of itself aggression? is the act of following someone, trailing them, chasing them, and then finally catching up to ...

Low for themselves. i thought it was great what they did. they had a horrible, horrible set of facts. >> there was a contrast in style between the prosecution, which was more emotional in their approach than the defense, which was more stoic and workman like. and by way of example. john guy appeared to become emotional when he talked about not being able to call trayvon martin to the stand. >> the bottom line is who is responsible for trayvon martin lying on that ground? trayvon martin didnt kil...

Remaining. now the defense mentioned to you, i wrote down a quote. he said innocence itself is no protection. exactly. it wasnt for trayvon martin. he said he could have gone home. the guy could have gone home. in the same he said i guess, it seems. why didnt he go home? use your common sense. did he really want to take this guy home with him to the residence where the only person there was 12-year-old chad joseph? did he really want to lead the defendant to that residence? just like the defenda...

Now, they can because there are going to be some jurors who will say, he started this whole thing and shouldnt have done what he did. therefore, there must be something here because the injuries were not significant. even though you dont have to have any injuries, the fact you have minor injuries should also be considered by the jury. i think the instructions are con feu confusing, but they could find their way through it. >> lislisa, what is lingering i your mind? >> i wish the prosecution woul...

Was on his back. trayvon martin could not have possibly seen it. john guy started to touch on that. >> yeah, he started to. but he didnt really hit it. i would say bernie de la rionda in the initial closing argument did say for the first time in this trial that the gun was holstered behind george zimmerman. but he didnt drive it home in the way that i would have liked to have seen by showing the 30-second clip from the re-enactment video where george zimmerman, in my opinion, very clearly demons...

Essentially leaving it to the jury to connect the dots. you know, george zimmerman may be a liar, he may have made too many assumptions of george zimmerman. hes not on trial for that. hes on trial for murder or manslaughter. prosecution is leaving it to the jury to connect that all up to the elements of the crime. defense of course had a very cool dispassionate closing argument, all about reasonable doubt, as one would expect in this case. >> craig, i want to get a sense from you. we heard from ...

He was 17 years old. in the lies of the law, he was a child. he was also a young man, 511", capable of fighting if thats what the jury ends up believing. he was taller than george zimmerman by about four inches. zimmerman outweighed him by about 50 pounds. they could look at it either way. it turns out trayvon martin was kind of poised right at the middle of both of those ways of describing him. >> and john, as lisa pointed out what we heard in court today, i was annoyed because it came off like...

You look at closing arguments, its about themes and theories are of the case. i thought omara was very strong. i agree with lisa. he did not address -- omara, the defense attorney d not address, one, the ibt inconsistencies throughout this trial. two, the fact that gun was in the back of george zimmerman. thats a major key fact. also, the inconsistencies and the common sense of, if george zimmerman was so afraid, why did he get out of his car? that was never answered by the defense. comparison, ...
