[ male announcer ] there's a crushing national debt hanging over us. hindering economic growth. it's time for some common sense -- people in congress who'll come together and put partisan politics aside. not with radical schemes that gamble with america's future. but with a plan that requires washington to balance the budget the right way -- protecting the priorities of america's families. tell congress to pass a common sense balanced budget -- now. sign the petition at center-forward.org. omnipotent of opportunity. you know how to mix business... with business. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can even take a full-size or above. and still pay the mid-size price. i could get used to this. [ male announcer ] yes, you could business pro. yes, you could. go national. go like a pro. george zimmerman, will he remain free or face charges for the shooting death of trayvon martin? that is the big decision. the decision is for angela corey. her decision could come at any time. in the meantime, george zimmerman seems to be building up his defense funds through his website, the real george zimmerman.com. this is the first time we are hearing from him. let's head straight to martin savidge, who is following all of these developments in sanford, florida. martin, have you spoken with zimmerman's attorney or his family and friends about the website? >> reporter: only to the point we wanted to authenticate that it really was his website. they say, yes, it is. the defense team had launched their own, zimmermandefense.com. they have decided to take that down and it is being replaced by therealgeorgezimmerman.com. he says his entire life changed dramatically, as it did for the trayvon martin family, it should be pointed out, on the night of the shooting when it happened on february 26th. he says as a result of the media attention that has been brought to bear, he has had to leave his home, his job, doesn't have any income coming in. all of this is to make an appeal for people to donate, not just to a potential defense fund but to donate to allow him to continue having a lifestyle. you can conveniently make those donations. we don't know, even though there is a lot of traffic on that website, how much money he could be pulling in. there is potential. we know one group last week donated about $10,000 from texas. there have been reports of money coming in from all around the world. we will just have to see and fry and keep tabs on that. >> what's trayvon martin's family saying about this? >> the first thing they said was that trayvon martin himself could not have a website but there is a website that has been started as far as trying to get the message out about trayvon martin. they too are troubled by the fact that money is being raised, money that will go to try to keep george zimmerman if he was to be charged from serving any time or going to jail. they are not real thrilled. >> i bet not. last question, tell us about this police car with the bullet hole found in the neighborhood. >> reporter: this is actually very troubling, carol. despite all the weeks that have gone by, despite the tremendous tensions in sanford and elsewhere, despite all the number of protests, there has never been any violence or problem. that changed early this morning, 4:30 by the time we were arriving here outside the police station. apparently, someone opened fire on a sanford police car parked outside the neighborhood where trayvon martin had been killed. there was no police officer in that vehicle at the time. it was struck anywhere from four to possibly six times, shattering the glass and pumping into the sides. clearly, a very, very troubling site. that school was parked in front of an elementary school. someone is using a weapon. whether they knew there was anybody in the vehicle, we don't know. >> still disturbing. martin savidge reporting live from sanford, florida. the issue of whether or not george zimmerman will face charges is complicated, especially in the light of florida's stand your ground law. paul cal an is a criminal defense attorney and also a prosecutor. welcome, paul. >> nice being with you, carol. >> nice that you are here. the prosecutor, angela corey, decides, no grand jury. tell us why this is significant? >> it is very significant, because a lot of times, prosecutors try to use a grand jury to kind of pass the buck to the grand jury. if the grand jury decides to dismiss the case, it is up to the grand jury. if they decide to indict, they say, well, we presented it to ordinary citizens and they said indict. here, angela corey has taken this case on her own shoulders and she will bear responsibility and public praise or criticism for whatever she does. she can't blame it on a grand jury. >> you know what many experts say. this means she has made her decision and she will fire charges against zimmerman. >> well, it does seem to suggest that direction. the reason i say that is because a lot of times in controversial cases, if there is going to be a dismissal, prosecutors will use the grand jury as an excuse to get the dismissal. the fact that she has held on to the case would suggest maybe she is going to return charges. i would raise one other thing. her predecessor, the state attorney who originally veend the grand jury and she was appointed by the government to take his place, he said he was going to use the grand jury as an investigative tool to develop facts in the case. the fact she is not using the grand jury for that purpose suggests the investigation is complete and she is ready to make a decision. if i were a betting person, i would bet charges are going to be filed. >> let's say charges are filed. george zimmerman gets his day in court. this story has exploded into a national debate. rallies, vigils everywhere, how could he possibly, george zimmerman, get a fair trial? >> you are right, carol. the passion surrounding this case are as great as any case i can remember, maybe as far back as the o.j. simpson case. how do you get a fair trial in that situation, very, very difficult. bear in mind, this case won't go to trial for at least another nine months to a year. passions will have subsided a bit. we have a lot of mechanisms for picking juries. you can bring them in from outside the county, move the trial to another county, and you can also carefully screen the jury. ultimately, you wind up with a jury that is generally familiar with the faks cts of the case b hopefully will base their decision on the evidence and not the passion an the tabloid headlines. >> if you are a betting man, do you think she will make her decision today? does she just want to get it out of the way, the pros cue tore i am talking about. i'm intrigued by this. >> i think there is a good possibility she will make her decision today but if not today, certainly within a very, very short time frame. a week or so. i would be surprised if it went beyond that. if she needed to develop more fact, why wouldn't she use the grand jury as a subpoena? what people don't understand is that only grand juries or courts can authorize the issuance of subpoenas to get evidence in a case. a prosecutor can't do that. she doesn't need the grand jury here. i think she is saying he sh is done. you might see it today or the very, veneer future. probably charges but most definitely a decision. >> we will keep our eyes on sanford, florida. paul callan, good to get your insights. >> charles manson may have a chance at freedom. debra tait will testify to stop that. the sister of manson's most famous victim, sharon tait, joins us live next. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. the first technology of its kind... mom and dad, i have great news. is now providing answers families need. siemens. answers. charles manson is up for parole again. the 12th and possibly last chance for the 77-year-old manson to get out of prison. he may not be eligible for parole again until the year 2027. manson's crimes are some of the most gruesome and most famous in american history. nine murders in all. most of them orchestrated by manson and carried out by his so-called family. the most famous was the murder of pregnant actress, sharon tate, and friends at her los angeles home. joining me now is debra tate, sharon tate's sister and a leading advocate for victims rights. welcome. >> thank you. >> you are going to be there for the hearing tomorrow? >> yes, i am. >> what will you say? >> i never know exactly what i'm going to say. i usually respond to whatever is being read out of the statements of his mentally valuations, et cetera, et cetera. i've been going for the last 15 years. for the last 15 years, he has chosen not to come into the room with me. so i'm hoping that heel show up this time and then i will have a lot more to say. >> why are you hoping he shows up this time? >> i think that -- i think that he needs to look into our eyes, victims' eyes, and see the pain that he has caused. i think that that is something that is essential to his coming to peace perhaps before he passes, as you said. this is probably going to be his last parole hearing. >> when you think of charles manson, you think of absolute evil. you don't think that he wants any forgiveness for what he has done. i mean, do you think there is something in there? >> i like to think that there is something in there, in everybody. however, this is a tough man. i don't think that he has come to grips with what he is and what he has done in the past. i am just hoping that he chooses to do so and understand the magnitude and gravity of his crimes before he goes to meet his maker. >> if these new pictures, mug shots came out of charles manson at the age of 77, a lot of fascination of people looking at those pictures, why do you think that is? >> there is a unique social icon kind of a thing that goes along with the manson family. they have made murder popular. they have more followers than they have ever had. there have been murders done in their name. quite frankly, i do not understand it. i understand there are a lot of young people that are looking for something to believe in but i don't see how you could possibly think this man is leadership material. i don't get it. >> leave us with an image of your beautiful sister. >> thank you. >> just tell us about her. tell us about the victim's families and what they are left with so people don't admire creeps like charles manson. >> sharon was obviously extremely beautiful on the outside. what people don't know is that there was an equally magnificent soul, a beautiful creature on the inside. she would give you the shirt off her back. she would go to great lengths to help mentor or position young people around her. she was actually going to be a psychologist, had this profession not worked for her. she was very much into helping the underdog. she was a magnificent soul. >> and you are a magnificent sister going into that room to make sure he stays in prison for the past 15 years. you are something else. >> thank you so much. >> debra tate, thank you for being with us this morning. >> you are welcome. >> marlins manager, ozzie guillen faces an immediate five-game suspension. what he said about fidel castro, that led to this firestorm. that's still ahead. ould go broke with imports? look, i'm just saying. well, energy creates jobs. [announcer:] at conocophillips, we're helping power america's economy with cleaner, affordable natural gas. more jobs, less emissions. a good answer for everyone. we gotta be careful. it's cleaner. it's affordable. look, if it's safe, i'm there. [announcer:] conocophillips. the chevy cruze eco also offers 42 mpg on the highway. actually, it's cruze e-co, not ec-o. just like e-ither. or ei-ther. or e-conomical.
