Because there was a witness today who talked about a burglary in the neighborhood, and it was a young african male, what is the point of that? if somebody is young and black walking in the neighborhood, we should call the cops? >> the witness came in, george zimmerman had a legitimate reason for finding trayvon martin suspicious because other young black men had targeted the neighborhood. >> because there was another young black burglar in the world. >> theyre smart, when the prosecutors say pro...

>> well -- >> eliot spitzer the next day. >> do i feel bad for scott stringer? like a week ago his life seemed so simple. comptroller. >> thats politics. >> he was on yesterday and did very well. >> yeah. >> impressive guy. but -- >> guy with 100% name recognition comes into the race. >> and self-financed. >> thats the way it works. >> no. i think hes going to do it. and again, there is, though, i wonder about anthony weiner, al hunt, when he was down here he wasnt known as a guy that got a lot ...

Aggressor. will it work? i know that many say it can be extremely impressive to the jury. but in my experience you can tip it a little too far to the cartoon side. the fact that this animation looks like avatar can make it look like a cartoon event. what i think, something much more compelling is john guy getting on top of the dummy in the courtroom. that brings it home better to me, than this, that is not very real. >> they were eager to get this animation in through testimony and introduced th...

Try outside of politics to serve the common good. then, suddenly, this week he was back inside politics. announcing that he was going to run for office again because, as he said on msnbcs "morning joe," i believe in service. time after time we hear a scandal tarred politician vow to go away and make amends. time after time we envision a stint as a missionary or a hospital volunteer. time after time we are disappointed. spitzer said on "morning joe" that during his five years in exile, ive tried ...

>> and where are his hands during this entire encounter? that is what the defense is not accounting for, he may not be the most physically fit person, still he can use his hands to maneuver. lisa, to your point, i think what john guy is doing there, the prosecution is not aware of any particular theory about the positioning here when trayvon martin, and george zimmerman with their altercation, theyre saying the defenses theory is simply implausible. >> i know, but im tired of hearing about the d...

It will not be something going into the jury room with the exhibits but it can be shown to them used as an illustration device during the closing arguments. so it seems like well see it during closing arguments, how do you expect it to work? >> well, they will use it as an exhibit as an illustration of their view of the case. showing, of course, that george zimmerman was the victim and that trayvon martin was the aggressor. will it work? i know that many say it can be extremely impressive to the...

Firearm on their waist, where would the gun be right now in relation to me? >> would be at your left inner thigh. >> right here, right? >> yes. >> if he was right handed it would be at your inner thigh. >> underneath my leg. >> inside your leg. >> were you aware that the defendant described to his best friend that when he slid down the defendant slid down, that trayvon martin was up around his armpits? were you aware of that? >> no. i heard that. no, sir. >> where would the gun be now? >> now th...

Fit. trayvon martin was fit. the fight wasnt fair. have a look at how he showed us what the fight was like. take a look at john guy with the demonstration. that youre going to see a lot of. >> you recognize this as being a human type figure? right? >> yes, sir. >> okay. its actually got a belly button. >> it surely does. >> does it appear to be anatomically correct. >> for the belly button, yes, sir. >> so as the defendant described it to you, is this the way he described it in the area of the b...

Sometimes the pictures a little too crazy for words. when we went to break, that happened. and so im not going to put you back into live testimony. what im going to do is play to you what happened when we went to commercial break. because let me just put it this way, sometimes you get demonstrative aides, sometimes you get evidentiary aides and sometimes a dummy, i mean a real dummy. john guy, who is no dummy brought out a dummy because so much of this case focuses on who was on the top, who was...

I was in the courtroom for part of the testimony. the jury was riveted because juries love demonstrations. i think when the prosecutor got on top of this charcoal dummy, it was very, very effective in poking holes in not only the witnesss preparation but his testimony. >> mark, how did you see this? from the courtrooms perspective how did people respond? >> i think that many lawyers cant help themselves and ask too many questions. i think the defense was on a very big high and they should have c...
