In the controversial florida death case of Trayvon Martin, the shooter has want latest round as to whether they can bring the School Records and social media activity into evidence. David mattingly reports. Reporter for the first time in three months we were able to see George Zimmerman entering a courtroom. This time he appeared to be much heavier than we had seen him in the past. But he sat quietly during a proceedings and was also his first time in front of this new judge, judge debra nelson. It was a good day for the defense team. The judge ruling that attorneys for George Zimmerman are allowed to subpoena the School Records of Trayvon Martin as well as whatever posts he may have put on facebook and any sort of comments he may have made on twitter. This is important Going Forward as the defense may argue that it was Trayvon Martin who was the aggressor that night in the fight that ended when George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Im not going to sit back and say anything about Trayvon Martin. I know very little about him. But i think my client has the right for me to find out more about him to make that decision. And thats the only point were at right now with discovery. We have the right to get the information. Then conclusions can be made, most probably by the judge in the selfdefense immunity hearing. If thats not successful by a jury which is where this is supposed to be. Reporter Trayvon Martins parents are announcing they are beginning a new push that might change stand your ground laws all across the country. Theyre sow is soliciting money help them. They say its their goal to change stand your groupd laws here in florida and elsewhere so that someone who starts a fight would not be eligible for the immunity that this kind of law might provide. In the meantime, George Zimmermans attorneys say that they might be requesting their stand your ground hearing for George Zimmerman in the spring. If they are successful, George Zimmerman will go free. He will not go to trial. David mattingly, cnn, seminole county, florida. David, thank you very much. Well talk more about this case with our legal guys right after the break. Plus, should guns be allowed in church . There is a Georgia Organization that says yep. Well talk about that case as well. Our legal guys will also weigh in on this one. train horn vo wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. Norfolk southern. One line, infinite possibilities. Before the break, we were talking about the ruling that Trayvon Martins records can be handed over to the lawyers defending George Zimmerman. Lets bring in the legal guys, Avery Freeman who joins us from washington and then Richard Herman, a new york criminal defense attorney and law expert who joins us from las vegas. Hello, gentlemen. Hi, marty. How are you . Very good, thanks. All right. Lets talk about this. Interesting stuff coming out of the zimmerman case. First and foremost, let me ask you this, richard. The attorneys that were representing George Zimmerman want these records, social media and School Records. Why do they want it . Sounds like a fishing expedition. Oh, marty, its not a fishing expediti expedition. They want to show that trayvon mart heroin a propensity for violence. They want to show that and then try to argue to a jury that obviously martin with his propensity for violence was the aggressor. However, just before everybody goes crazy here, its just for discovery purposes at this time. It does not mean this material will be admissible at the time of the trial. So thats for starters. And the judge will have to make that decision during the trial. Or just before it. But in any event, it may not come in at all or it may come in with a sort of limiting instruction to the jury by the judge and how they should receive it. All right. Avery, let me bring new real quick. When an attorney asks for records like these, do they already know whats in the records . Sure they do, marty. What theyre doing is they want documents from the school. They want whats out there in the blogosphere. Of course they do. But im in agreement. Its going to be very difficult to get that kind of evidence into trial because how are they going to introduce it . It is mere discovery. It only ceases to try to bolster a defense. By the way, i never saw this case as a stand your ground case at all. This is a conventional selfdefense. And marco mara who is leading this defense team is saying, look, we need it. Its relevant. Whether or not it gets in i think is very dubious that it will. But thats where theyre going with this. All right. Let me ask you this. It may not get into a court of law. It will get seen by the public. The discovery is released. In other words, its going to go into the court of public opinion, right . Thats exactly right. You know, we heard that the familiar sli out tryifamily is o raise money to get rid of stand your ground laws in states. I understand that argument. Its going to have no effect either on that campaign or certainly no effect on the defense in this trial. None whatsoever. Richard, let me ask you quickly. There was also the prosecution. They said turn about is fair play. They want the medical records of George Zimmerman. The defense said, no, thats too personal. But they eventually won. What are they looking for there . For what purpose would they want those, marty . To show that zimmerman is a mental case . I dont know. The judge is going to take those, look at them in chambers and make a zedetermination on h own whether he thinks those are relevant. But the judge has already admonished and instructed the Defense Attorneys when they get this material, this discovery, not it turn it over to the public. Keep it amongst themselves. So when they get a school record, they cannot turn this over to the public. Thats the ruling of the judge. Avery, the prosecution is asking for a gag order. Why now . Ien into case has been out for so long. All of a sudden they want people to stop talking . Unfortunately you have this thing called the First Amendment. There is so much information disseminated. There is so much out there. Its already prejudicial. All right. Let me move on. Im sorry. One last thing. Whats very telling here, marty, is that the prosecution is taking their sweet time and turning over discovery. And the defense is randiting an raving that theyre not releasing material, that they have an obligation to release. There is a hearing coming up on that, too. Yeah, there is. Lets move on to guns and god. This has to do with a georgia pro gun Advocacy Group that is saying it should be okay, it should be legal for you to carry a gun into church. And there have been several rulings. Some supported that. Some have gone against that. Now theyre asking the Supreme Court to take up the case. Is this let me ask you, richard, a violation of the First Amendment or Second Amendment . Theyre saying its not a Second Amendment case, are marty. Theyre saying its a case of the government intruding on someones right to worship the way they want to. And by not being able to bring their guns into church, that hampers the way they worship. I mean this couldnt be any better for bill mahr, i have to tell you. So eventually, i dont know, it may end up at the Supreme Court. Packing heat in the pew, what do you think of that . Its not going to happen. I mean, this is the most constitutionally unhinged argument of the year so far. The argument is that somehow under the freedom of religion provision of the First Amendment, youve got a right to carry a gun . Oh, my goodness. You have two Supreme Court decisions, marty. One heller, one mcdonald written by scalia saying government does have the right to say you cant bring guns into churches or airports. Makes all the sense in the world. Will is no chance no chance the Supreme Court will ever, ever take this case. Richard, is that true . Certainly you cant take a gun into an airport. We understand the security concerns. But church . I mean is there really a security concern there . Theres been shootings in churches weve seen. Weve covered cases. Thats right. Sure. But no everywhere. Right. So whether or not this case is something Strong Enough where the Supreme Court says theres a split in the circuits and we need to make a ruling on it, i think its ridiculous. But, look, i dont know. Time will tell. Avery, dont be so certain. Im certain of it, pal. Certain of it. Not going. Nice to hear such confidence. All right. Both of you are going to be back in 20 minutes.
