>> let's hey, you're watching "ac360," tonight, zimmerman is a free man as the judge put it. he has no further business with the court, but zimmerman's battle may not be over, the naacp is looking to file charges, across the nation, demonstrators say there was no justice for trayvon martin. but as president obama said we are a jury of laws, they're calling for calm in the wake of the verdict. >> in the circuit court of the 18th judicial circuit, state of florida versus zimmerman. >> he had absolutely no reaction at that moment. >> right, yeah, when you looked at his face i was not even sure he had heard it quite. there was no reaction. his wife, shelly was there, she began to cry quietly. and then we looked over and it was noticeably obvious, trayvon martin's parents who had been there throughout, trayvon martin and sabrina fulton. test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test . >> we are just heartbroken really right now. we ask that you keep them in your prayers. >> george zimmerman has been silent. but it was mark o'mara, his lawyer, that spoke out. >> we are ecstatic with tehe

results, george zimmerman was never guilty. i am glad the jury saw it that way. >> and this is really not the end for george zimmerman as we have been talking about this on the panel the last hour. there could be other charges against zimmerman? >> yes, that is absolutely right. there has been a request by the naacp that there be an investigation into the possibility of civil rights violation, the breaking of civil rights, trayvon martin, due to george zimmerman's actions. the department of justice says they have been investigating and will continue to look into that. and they want people to be sure that they're looking into that, that is ongoing. meanwhile, president obama has weighed in. remember, he spoke just weeks after this incident. and the latest statement coming from the president goes like

this. and he says the death of trayvon martin was a tragedy, not just for his family or for any one community but for america. and i now ask everybody to respect the call for calm reflection for two parents who lost their son, the president of the united states. >> all right, thank you, march since. cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, sunny hostin, also, mark geragos. i want to talk about the pivotal moment in the trial, this is jeff toobin. >> what i don't think you should do is fill in any gaps at all. connect any dots for him either, any fact, if the decision was made by the state not to present additional evidence to you, do not presume. do not assume. and do not give anybody the

benefit of any doubt except for george zimmerman. >> jeff, why do you think that was so critical? >> well, that, and surrounding comments. basically, he was saying the -- the prosecution never told you what happened. and i think that really was the fundamental problem here. there was not a clear picture from the prosecution of who started this altercation. how it unfolded. who was on top. they changed, maybe it is because they just didn't have the evidence. but i thought in that section of the summation, o'mara really laid out for the jury that you just don't know enough here to say that george zimmerman was guilty of any crime. >> deny, i want to play the moment that you thought was most pivotal. we have that. let's play it. >> is there anything else in this case where you got the insight that he might be a pathological liar? >> no. >> as a matter of fact, everything to date had been

corroborated of, in the investigation, that he was unaware of. >> correct. >> okay, so if we took pathological liar off the table for the purposes of this next question, you think he was telling the truth? >> yes. >> that was chris serino, and just one of several witnesses for the prosecution actually helped the defense. >> this was a turning point for me, and i'll tell you why. he was a seasoned witness. and mark geragos will tell you this, too, being used to police officers, they are doing everything they can to oppose the cross examination. now remember, that clip that we just saw, moments before the question had been asking george zimmerman, or telling him, lying to him, using a very good investigative technique that the supreme court says is okay, you can lie to a suspect to get them to admit things. he said trayvon martin may have recorded that on his cell phone,

george zimmerman's response, oh, thank god, i was hoping it would be videotaped. then the investigator says in my response, in my experience somebody who sticks to their story after being told they're a videotape, is either a pathological liar or they're telling the truth. and to me, that was the telling point, i will say i know that if they believe that -- they're paid to be suspicious when there is nothing to be suspicious about. if they believe that there is nothing to be suspicious about that is a lot. that means a lot to me. >> and jeff, as a prosecutor -- >> i have never seen a cop do that. i have never seen a cop go to bat for a defendant in the case in which he is testifying like that. >> it almost seemed like a hijack, like a payback move. >> there was some internal politics going on there, where this cop was pissed at these prosecutors.

and he could have answered those questions in a much more neutral way. but he answered them in a way that was designed to help the defense as much as possible. >> and harm the prosecution. >> sunny, you were actually impressed by the prosecution throughout the trial. >> yes, i was. >> i want to play your pivotal moment. >> isn't that every child's worst nightmare? to be followed on the way home in the dark by a stranger? isn't that every child's worst fear? that was trayvon martin's last emotion. >> so you're sort of the lone voice praising this prosecutor. why did that impress you? why did he impress you? >> and listen, if i had that case in any jurisdiction i was admitted in, like d.c., i would have gotten a conviction, i think they put on a terrific case. i think that part of the closing

was so powerful because it took the focus away from defense and george zimmerman and put it squarely on trayvon martin where it should have been. you can't just look at this case starting from the confrontation, you have to look at all of it, started with a young boy being followed in the dark in the rain by a man who suspected him of doing no good when he was lawfully there. and i thought that the women on the jury, especially the mothers, that that would have resonated with them. because it certainly resonated with a lot of the folks in the courtroom watching it. >> i know that mark geragos is looking to insult them -- >> i'm trying to tell them that mcdreamy became mcbrilliant, and then he became mcloser. the problem is, i was talking with the prosecutor just an hour ago who had the same observation

i did. these guys reminded me of baby public defenders who watch law and order and think that is how you're supposed to try a case. this was ridiculous. >> not at all. >> these prosecutors were so out of their league, they were so over the top. you can say whatever you want, you're the one who said he had the jury. do you remember your quote, sunny? he had them at hello. >> we did, and we haven't heard from this jury yet. we don't know what their verdict is -- >> well, we have heard from them. >> by the way, we heard from them yesterday, sunny. it was not guilty. >> we haven't heard their reasoning yet. we haven't heard their reasoning. and i wonder if they believed george zimmerman, did they really believe he acted in self defense or did they just believe there was not enough evidence? sort of like the casey anthony jury. >> oh, god, let me just tell you what they're going to say, since you have been 100% wrong at every juncture of this case,

sunny, let me tell you what they're going to say. is jurors will tell you anything you want to hear when they come out of the jury room, the only words they will say is not guilty. >> what are they going to say? >> they're going to say the prosecution did the best with what they had, but they didn't have the case beyond a reasonable doubt and that self defense, by the way, covers both second degree and it covers the manslaughter. >> well, we'll see. >> and unlike everybody -- well, we said -- two weeks, you have been wrong every minute. >> i do want to bring in mark -- you say the most significant moment was when both sides brought out the now famous dummy. why was that so significant for you? >> just in response to sunny. please, the fact of the matter is, is that when -- this was a strong -- >> i think all of you are so jealous -- terrible to watch. >> what it did, please, what it

did was simply talk to emotion. it didn't speak to evidence. it didn't speak to facts. and my most important moment was really a surrender by the prosecution, right along the lines you're talking about. when in fact the prosecutor mounted the dummy, not that particular act, but the subtleties of what it rendered. the fact that trayvon martin, being pummeled by george zimmerman, you never had that actual display -- the only time they showed it was going on is when in fact -- when they had the george zimmerman being pummeled by the prosecutor, representing trayvon martin. they surrendered it at that moment. and that shows why they should have never. because they knew from the start. they knew well over a year ago that trayvon martin was on top. george zimmerman was on the bottom. and they tried to trick the

jury, they tried to trick the public, in my opinion, as to what, in fact existed. all you have to do is talk -- >> that is absurd. >> i do not why understand in their opening statement they would say that george zimmerman was on top and trayvon martin was on the bottom if they knew this other evidence was out there and was going to come out in the grass stains and all that, and then switch half way through and say maybe he was on top pulling away. >> see, i didn't see it as a switch. there were several witnesses that testified that they believed it was george zimmerman on top. there was evidence to support their opening statement. >> right, but by the end they didn't talk about that. he was mounting that thing on the top. >> they were giving alternatives, and prosecutors do that all the time. they say okay, well, what about this? is it possible, mr. expert witness, that he could have been moving away? >> i went to the law school of law and order. so i have no actual legal basis.

but -- >> may i respond to that? >> wait a second. >> the prosecutors -- >> let -- >> the prosecutors give, the prosecutors give alternatives that suggest a not guilty? is that what you're telling me? >> no, that is not. >> most of the prosecution that i'm involved in, the prosecutors don't go demonstrate what a not guilty verdict would be, because that is what they did, in that case, sunny. >> let's take a break, there were a lot of memorable moments in the case. there is one key witness who might have tipped the scales. and continuing federal rights investigation, looking into the evidence as part of that. the question is will george zimmerman face civil rights charges, coming up? i told him, sure. can't hurt, right? and now today, i see this in the news. once again, centrum silver was chosen by researchers for another landmark study. this time looking at eye health. my doctor! he knows his stuff.

>> hey, welcome back to "ac360," a special episode of the george zimmerman trial. the jurors chose not to speak publicly, at least not yet. so we're going to ask the panel what they think were the most important questions, sunny hostin, john good, why did you think he was important? >> because he was a witness with no axe to grind. and he suggested clearly that it was trayvon martin that was on top of george zimmerman. and i think if the jury believed that it was very hard to refute the self defense. >> and he was not a rogue

witness that the prosecution had trouble with? >> no, it seemed clear he was repeating the story he had said before, which just underlines the story before, which is why does the prosecution embrace the theory that zimmerman was on top, when they knew they were calling witnesses that would say the opposite? >> john good, as a witness overall. look at the stark contrast between john good and just before him was rachel januaeanta witness who was sometimes difficult to understand. and then you have john good, he speaks very clearly and clearly has no axe to grind. he was not fighting with any attorneys. i thought he was very correctioncredible. he did not have a dog in the fight. and to me, that was a turning point. he was not adverse to the prosecution, he is there to tell

the truth. and his truth fit the theory of the defense. >> sunny, you picked probably the most controversial witness, rachel jeantel. >> sure, i did. i thought all along if the jury believed rachel jeantel, because she was the last person to speak to trayvon martin. and if they believed her testimony, which was trayvon martin was running from him. all of a sudden, george zimmerman was behind him. trayvon martin said why are you following me? and his response was something along the lines of what are you doing around here? and then she hears a thump, and she hears trayvon martin say get off, get off. if they believe that, then george zimmerman is the initial aggressor. if they disbelieve it, because they don't think she is dressed appropriately enough or she doesn't understand cursive -- >> hold on, one thing i was very striking about o'mara's summation, was putting aside

rachel jeantel's demeanor and all that, the 911 tapes, the times, that is why the four minutes comes in. he was off -- trayvon martin and rachel jeantel are off the phone. and it is four full minutes until the shot takes place. so what goes on in that four minutes? some didn't trayvon martin leave if he is not initiating the confrontation. >> because there was two minutes, when the call dropped, there was two minutes. >> what should trayvon martin have done? his argument was, should he have run home -- >> why do you have to run home if you're not doing anything. >> why does somebody have to run? >> i'm not suggesting he has to run, but he can just simply not engage. testimony that he gets out of s the car and trayvon martin assaults him. now, that may be untrue.

but that is what the jury heard. >> charles's comment was trayvon martin ignores him, goes into this house and then george zimmerman thinks here is a guy breaking into the house. >> and what was george zimmerman doing for four minutes? his car was 100 feet away, did it take george zimmerman four minutes to get back to his car? >> mark, you picked serino as critical -- >> can i tell you why? in 30 years of practice i have never seen a detective so embrace a defendant in his own trial, in my life. i probably will go to my grave and never see it again. that is the most astonishing situation that you will see. when have you ever had a lead detective basically act as a character witness for the defendant? and when will you see the prosecutors sit on their hands and not object when they said, do you think he was telling the

truth? >> and do you think the prosecutors were surprised, how does that work? >> they have not have been surprised. because what happens in florida, and doesn't happen in a whole lot of other jurisdictions is in a criminal case, similar to what you have in a civil case, you get depositions of the witness. remember when don west complained we have been spending the weekend doing depositions. they get to put the witness under oath, ask any question they want, without anybody to interfere with them. so they know what was coming. if they didn't know what was coming, shame on them. if they did know what was coming shame on them. >> well, they had to have. i remember sitting there watching the attorney, here you have a lead attorney asking him, don't you think he was telling the truth? well, they had to have had a deposition because you wouldn't ask that question just randomly of a lead investigator unless you had him already under oath saying that. >> we're on unusual ground, the idea of having a deposition

before trial is just unheard of. so the idea that when you get to trial, you have already had the opportunity to ask each of those questions. jeff is absolutely right. there must have been some indication that he believed, found zimmerman truthful. in florida, they go to trial armed with all types of situations. >> so in other states they don't have the deposition? >> no, not at all. >> there must have been something going on, other types of sabotage. >> all right, not an easy lawsuit to file, the civil rights. we'll ask our panel, and it may or may not happen then. ♪ hey! ♪ ♪ let's go! ♪ [ male announcer ] you can choose to blend in. ♪ ♪ yeah! yeah! yeah! or you can choose to blend out. ♪ oh, yeah-eah! ♪ the all-new 2014 lexus is.

throughout the country, there have been some rallies and marches, protesting against the verdict. you are looking at a march still going on at this hour. protesters walking from union square, i understand they're at times square, holding pictures of trayvon martin. holding signs that say "racism kills." and george zimmerman is not out of the woods yet. the head of the naacp said it is important that the justice department file a civil rights case. >> we are calling on them to do just that, when you look at his comments and look at comments made by young black men who lived in the neighborhood, about how they felt especially targeted by him, there is a reason to believe that race could be a factor, in why he targeted young trayvon. >> there are americans who believe that, but there are

plenty of hurdles in the way. >> the justice department had opened an investigation into trayvon martin's death last year, but stepped aside to allow florida's criminal case to proceed. but now, once again, the pressure is on justice, but as attorney general eric hold er said last year, the bar is high. >> for a federal hate crime we have to prove the highest standard in the law, something that was reckless, negligent, does not meet that standard. we have to show there was specific intent to do the crime with the requisite state of mind. >> neither prosecutors or the defense made race the central issue in the state's case against george zimmerman. but civil rights leaders call the killing of trayvon martin a hate crime. they say zimmerman racially profiled martin, something zimmerman and his family have denied. >> you look at the jury, without a black or a man on it. it certainly was not a jury of trayvon's peers, the justice

department must intervene and take this case to another level. >> in response to calls for action, the justice department released this statement, it reads in part, the justice department will continue to evaluate the evidence generated during the investigation, as well as the evidence from the state trial. federal prosecutors will then determine if trayvon martin's civil rights were violated and if prosecution of george zimmerman is appropriate. if zimmerman is charged with violating civil rights it will not be the first time a failed criminal case gave rights to a civil case. remember rodney king? after officers were acquitted of beating him, it moved to federal court. it was a similar story in in order after a handful of officers were acquitted on the danziger bridge, in 2005, officers opened fire on a family

killing a 17-year-old. when local prosecutors couldn't deliver a conviction, the civil rights department of the department of justice and the fbi began an investigation. in 2011, a jury in new orleans federal court convicted five police officers on charges related to covering up the investigation, and deprivation of civil rights. still, regardless of the outcome of those two high profile cases, george zimmerman's attorney continues to insist this case was never about race. >> my fear is that now that they have connected that conversation to his conviction, that his acquittal is going to be seen as a negative for civil rights. absolutely untrue. >> maybe so but that, it seems, is now for the united states department of justice to decide. randy kay, cnn, atlanta. and our panel is back with us, i want to talk about president obama in all of this,

martin savidge played some of the statement from today, or read it out. president obama had read in on this case a while back. >> if i had a son he would look like trayvon. and -- you know, i think they are right to expect that all of us, as americans, are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves and that we're going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened. >> i mean, obviously, are politics involved in whether the justice department decides to go for civil rights charges? does president obama get involved? >> well, i'm sure he will not be involved. it would be totally inappropriate. but the very fact they're conducting an investigation is the very part of the politics. but i think one aspect of president obama's statement today, which was mentioned

earlier, he said this should cause reflection about the use of gun violence. now, why did george zimmerman have a gun at all? why did he use a gun? if he had simply been a community auxiliary, you know, all he needed was a phone to call the police. we have a culture now where people think guns make you more safe. and that, i think, at least is called into question by this whole situation. >> does the idea that now george zimmerman gets his gun back? does that bother anybody? >> it bothers me, it is remarkable they're behaving in such a cavalier manner. they're saying things like -- his representation, saying he needs it now more than ever because people are going to take the law into their own hands, i think it is remarkable he is doing this, making all of these statements, where it is a complete disconnect of how most

americans feel. >> but he was acquitted of the crime. >> but it shows a complete disconnect of sensitivity. >> he was told by his best friend, the police officer, that he should get a gun, that came out in testimony. >> the culture of guns has changed so dramatically. you know, in 1968, when robert f. kennedy were assassinated, guns were perceived as dangerous. now when we have these mass shootings the reaction of a lot of people is we need to have more guns. we need to have guns in school, teachers need guns, virginia tech, the students should have had guns. that is the change in the mindset of people in the country, it is not for me to say it is wrong, just dramatically different. >> the possibility of a civil lawsuit, how likely is it? how easy is it. >> easy is one thing, anyone can sue anyone for anything. whether it survives is another thing. now remember, he has been

acquitted. there is a whole host of evidence, now, remember, the standard in a criminal case is higher. we saw it with o.j. simpson. the standard is -- simply a preponderance of the evidence. o.j. simpson was an example of a person acquitted using the reasonable doubt standard, but once he found himself in front of a civil jury, he was not found not guilty in a civil context. >> mark, you're making the case in terms of money, there may not be anything for the family to collect from george zimmerman. >> right, somebody actually just tweeted somebody that made some sense, well, what if he has a future book deal or something like that? so wouldn't you want the judgment? >> book authors, anderson is a book author. there is not a big pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for george zimmerman. >> i don't know -- i -- >> i need to write a book. >> you're a lot more interesting than george zimmerman.

>> i need -- >> i'm putting together a pamphlet. >> well, you know what i think we haven't considered is the fact of possible "stand your ground" immunity in florida. he has been found not guilty in a criminal case, i wonder if that will apply eventually if the family decides? >> also just being crude, knowing there is so little money, what lawyer is going to take -- >> oh, there will be a lawyer who will take. there are lawyers who would take that case. i'll give you examples in the last week of lawyers who sued clients of mine onero these ridiculous cases. >> i know some -- >> i learned that -- >> all right, listen, i want to thank our panel coming up. coming up, zimmerman's defense attorney mark o'mara says he is

somewhat surprised by the people outraged by the verdict. we'll hear from him. and we'll also hear from trayvon martin's family's attorney, we'll be right back. yep, everybody knows that. well, did you know some owls aren't that wise? don't forget i'm having brunch with meghan tomorrow. who? meghan, my coworker. who? seriously? you've met her like three times. who?

will still carry a gun, listen. >> he was handed back his gun as part of the process of being released. will he keep it? >> i don't have confirmation from him, i don't see any reason why he should not. >> do you think he -- >> i think he has more reason now than ever to think people will try to kill him because they express they're trying to kill him all the time, every day, somebody was just arrested today in florida for saying they were going to go on a shooting spree if george zimmerman got freed. >> zimmerman's attorney, mark o'mara, says that zimmerman will have to be very careful about his safety because people say they will not listen to the not guilty verdict. chris cuomo spoke earlier today. >> let's listen to what happened. the reaction, the outrage to the not guilty verdict. are you surprised by the outrage? >> i am a little bit surprised,

because we hoped that both sides would look at the trial, the jury deliberated and came up with a fair and just verdict. and we've all agreed that we should listen to a fair and just verdict. so i hope that those people, even though they're frustrated will accept the verdict. >> address the basic concern, which is your client, george zimmerman, wound up killing trayvon martin and yet there is no legal responsibility and people can't understand it. what are they missing? >> well, what they're missing is that george had a right to be where he was, and also had a right to see where trayvon martin was. people say it was improper profiling. but the reality is with circumstances that night and with circumstances related to trayvon martin i think george had a reason to be concerned. when they met, it was trayvon martin who was the aggressor, the gunshot wound, 45 seconds

after george zimmerman screamed for help. >> perhaps many people don't equate what happens to you when you get beat up with the proper justification for taking someone's life. >> and that is the frustration that people have. and i share it with them. and in this case, they had to look at george zimmerman's head, as he was on the ground with somebody unknown on top of them doing to him and him not they're returning any blows. >> does george zimmerman regret having to take trayvon martin's life? having to kill him that night? >> absolutely. absolutely. he is human. he did not want to take any person's life. >> thank you for taking the time to do this interview. i am sure you share the hopes of all that we find a way to move forward after this verdict and that any wounds can be healed in time. >> we still have a lot of conversations -- >> i have, and we have a lot of conversations to have. i've been an advocate for the fact that black youths in america are not treated well by

the criminal justice system and we need to have that conversation. my fear is that we polarize the conversation because we attach it to a self defense verdict that they had nothing to do with. >> and sitting in the courtroom listening to all the testimony was difficult for trayvon martin's family. they each testified and left the courtroom, and photos of trayvon martin's dead body were shown to the jury. his parents were not in the courtroom for the verdict. the martin family attorney was, i spoke to him earlier. i just want to ask you about the martin family, how are they holding up? >> anderson, obviously, they were devastated last evening. as the day progressed, they gathered themselves together. and really had a chance to think about moving forward in trayvon martin's legacy and trying to turn the situation into a positive. and so we are encouraged by them and their fortitude to make sure that they one, tell people to

remain calm. but also not to build on trayvon's name, as to what his name will mean in american history. >> i know you were in the courtroom when the verdict was read. trayvon's parents were not there, do you know why they decided they didn't want to be there at that moment? >> well, based on our advice, number one, we already this decided that they probably shouldn't be in the courtroom. anderson, this is a very tough issue for them. and for them to have been through all of this for the last four weeks, we decided it was better to allow them to go ahead and head home to miami since it was so late in the evening. and they could attend church in miami. so they were on their way home. and we informed them of the verdict and they were devastated. and sometimes, these type situations have a lot of emotion tied to it. and so we -- we believed, as their counsel, that it was probably best they not be in there. >> the case, obviously, has sparked a national dialogue

about race, really from the beginning of this. and george zimmerman's attorney, mark o'mara, said something after the verdict. >> i think things would have been different if george zimmerman was black for this reason. he never would have been charged with a crime. >> what did you think when you heard that? >> well, i don't accept that. and maybe me and mr. o'mara are different on that issue. i think he has to understand in america we see young black men go to jail for far less, serve far more time for similar type situations. so it is really an intellectual insult for him to say that to people, when we all know if things were reversed and trayvon, 28-year-old trayvon had killed 17-year-old white zimmerman he would have been locked up that day. no bond, and good luck so -- >> so you think the exact opposite is true from what o'mara said?

>> of course, and no one can deny -- anybody who denies that is being intellectually dishonest? >> the naacp is calling for the justice department to step in and bring civil rights charges against zimmerman. is that something that trayvon martin's family wants? >> well, as you know we approached the federal government early on in this case about some of the issues in the case. and they decided to give deference as they always do, to the state law. and that is obviously the option that the federal government has. and the state makes decisions based on what they want to do. any way we can get justice, remember, up until this point this family has nothing. they got a half-hearted apology, never really a full apology. we just want justice for trayvon. they have sat through the trial and seen pictures of trayvon laying there. and it is like a stab in the heart to see that. and the person who did this will
