Away my need to retreat. as long as im not doing anything wrong, i dont have to retreat. you come at me with a knife from here, i can take out my gun and shoot you. that can be problematic because it allows the person to not try the last chance out. now george didnt have that opportunity in his case, but the statute is trouble some in that regart. >> its trouble some because gang leaders are saying it saying hey, i came face-to-face with a rival gun member and he was going to shoot me. im with e...

Predominantly jury who acquitted when most people felt o.j. simpson was guilty. is it not just always going to be the case that where race is the over ririding issue in a ca like this or o.j. that black people will be more tended to vote their way perhaps towards the black part of the case, white people will do the opposite? is that not just human nature in these cases? >> well, i wrote a piece today on cnn.com in terms of an opinion because we have to change how we talk about race, and its not ...

Altercation and no shooting. to then shoot a young teenager, who is unarmed as it turns out, and to get zero punishment, thats where i have an issue about this. i respect the jury decision. >> absolutely. >> i respect the fact that they adhered to the law, but the law in this case is an ass it seems to me. >> absolutely. i also made the statement, my grandfather told me, he said just because its the law doesnt mean its right. history has proven that time and time again. you know, civil rights to...

Would she be more engaging to the jury and told us more about the other side of trayvon martin that i dont think we really heard in that case? >> im not sure how she would have presented herself but certainly last night she was more engaging, more straightforward, and im not sure why she started out with the attitude that she obviously did in the trial but certainly some of what she could have said was lost on the jury through the attitude. >> she painted a very different picture on martin to th...

Fact of the matter was with me in the o.j. simpson case, i actually voted my conviction that based on the evidence presented to me in that case at trial and i thought the prosecution in that case did put on a very weak case, i had no alternative but to rule for reasonable doubt, which is all i gave him in that instance, rely. >> how many of the jurors for awhile thought that o.j. was guilty and changed their minds. >> how would i know that? >> you didnt discuss it? >> you mean like in jury delib...

Last word, mary katharine. >> there is civil avenues for that which im sure they are exploring. going forward with this and having only a discussion about trayvon around and zimmerman misses the fact there are grievances with the justice system like cops not being held accountable when they go overboard or drug war or problems with sentencing that are problems in the black community we are not addressing those. >> bill: 320 million you are going to have some chaos in the justice system. >> let m...

Macroand im talking micro. >> im talking american history. >> bill: i have got to go guys. the point of the matter is i agree with you that things need to be improved in race area. but this case should not be the poster boy. it shouldnt. plenty more as the factor moves along. bernie goldberg is upset by some the media coverage by the zimmerman verdict. he will be here to explain. karl rove on the media stuff. especially the democratic partys reaction to the zimmerman verdict. we hope you stay tu...

Profiles. to believe that, the verdict was racist, you have to believe that six women jurors want to harm blacks. you also have to believe that the state of florida did not do everything it could to convict zimmerman. rational people know florida threw everything it had at zimmerman. and while our jury system is fallible, we saw that in the o.j. simpson case, you simply cannot brand a jury racist without visible proof. thats grossly unfair. the cold truth is, nobody on earth knows what happened ...
