here's going to do it for me in washington. as we said stay with us for our continuing coverage of the zimmerman trial. tune in tonight for special prime time coverage of the zimmerman trial. it kicks off at 8:00 p.m. eastern with a live edition of "huckabee." fox news alert out of florida. in moments the jury will be resuming deliberations in the george zimmerman murder trial after a short recess. a live look now at the courthouse in sanford where the six women of the jury are hunkered down, weighing the evidence and considering the fate of george zimmerman. we could hear their decision at any time. earlier this morning the jury, along with zimmerman, his defense team, and the prosecution, briefly appeared before the judge before she gave their marching orders. hello, everyone. welcome to "america's news headquarters." >> the panel going on six-plus

hours of deliberations. neighborhood watchman george zimmerman shot and killed 17 we are old trayvon martin. that happened last year and he claims self-defense. now it is up to a jury to find him not guilty or guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter. >> reporter: hi. those jurors are expected to resume their deliberations sometime this hour after breaking for lunch inside of the courthouse. they must decide whether george zimmerman committed a crime when the neighborhood watch captain fatally shot 17-year-old trayvon martin or whether he acted in self-defense. in a procedural matter, state attorney angela corey's office confirm it is firing of an information technology specialist who worked for the special prosecutor's office in the zimmerman case. a month ago, ben cryboss testified he was concerned that prosecutors were withholding evidence from the defense but in

his termination letter, his employer accuses him of hacking into sensitive employee files and then trying to protect himself under the whistle blower law with unfounded allegations against his former colleagues. outside of the courthouse a group of protesters continues to grow while most of the protesters are calling for the jury to convict george zimmerman. there is a smaller group out here rallying for his acquittal. at times both sides confront each other and spirited debate. but so far the protests have remained peaceful. inside the jury expected to resume deliberations any minute now. deciding whether george zimmerman should be acquitted in which case he would walk out of here a free man or whether to convict him in which case worst-case scenario for him, he could face life in prison. with the case resting in the hands of the jury now let's take a look back at how he got here. on february 26 of last year,

trayvon martin is shot and killed. at the time police referred to george zimmerman as a suspect. a month and a half later, zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder and taken into custody. fast forward now to june of this year. jury selection begins. ten days later, a six-member panel is assembled out of all women and the rile begins on june 24. both sides present opening arguments and the jury hears from the first witnesses. one day later they see the first pieces of evidence, graphic photos of trayvon martin's body. then the neighbors take the stand. there's dramatic testimony from rachel jeantel. on a lead investigator in the case testifies. a re-enactment of the scuffle. the state examiner takes the stand and says the injuries were

minor. martin's brother and mother testify. plan particular screams are heard on 911 tapes were from trayvon. last monday, five witnesses testified for the defense. the voice belongs to zimmerman. zimmerman's family also said it was him. the next day, a forensic expert says the evidence supports zimmerman's story. the defense rests on wednesday. george zimmerman tells the judge that he won't take the stand. that the prosecution gets closing arguments. the judge says she will allow the jury to consider the lesser charge of manslaughter but rules out third-degree murder. finally, yesterday, the defense delivers its closing arguments. the judge gives the jury her final instructions and deliberations get under way. >> here's what we know about the six-member all-women jury. a juror number one, hispanic nurse with several children and she lived in chicago at the time of the shooting.

juror number two, middle-aged white woman. married 30 years, with children. one child by the way is an attorney. and juror number three, another middle-aged white woman and is described as -- has described protests in sanford as rioting and her husband is an attorney. she also has children. juror number four, retired white woman. she knew a good deal about the case apely and is not married. does not have children. juror number five, a young white woman and mother. she used to work in financial services and she used this case as an example of warning her two children not to go at night. finally, juror number six, a white woman in her 60s. she lived in iowa at the time of the shooting. she is married with a grown son and she says that she has been the victim of a crime. coming up later in the hour we take a much more in-depth look at the jury. why they may have been selected and what their background mean for this particular case. >> we could hear the decision at

any time. last might the jurors asked the judge for a list of every bit of evidence submitted in this case. and over the past 2 1/2 weeks they heard some very heated exchanges and emotional testimony. so what are the key issues that they are considering as they come to a decision? let's bring in our legal panel. ann marie mci will invoice, former federal prosecutor. jennifer bonn jean, criminal defense attorney. thank you for joining us. the big question in all of this that george will have to ask himself is whether george zimmerman actually committed a crime did the prosecution prove that or did the defense prove that zimmerman's actions were lawful and in accordance with florida stand your ground law. >> here is the critical issue i think has been overlooked by much of the media attention to this case. what precipitated the actual confrontation and if zimmerman -- let me put hit the

way. if martin was defending himself against zimmerman, it cannot be justifiable homicide. that's one thing that has not been focused upon. we keep focusing on the actual confrontation, seeing martin on top of zimmerman. at the end of the day, if zimmerman did not retreat, if zimmerman provoked, if martin was merely defending himself against zimmerman's actions, it cannot be justifiable homicide and self defense claim fails. >> what jennifer is alluding to, there was one testimony from the young lady who knew trayvon martin was on the phone with him at the time and that this attack took place and that the scuffle between the two men who went on to say that trayvon martin had looked at george zimmerman and said why are you following me. what do you say about this? >> this is the problem with this case. it is -- mob really knows what happened at that moment. we are trying to piece it together and we have the

testimony from the young girl and she also then went on to say he said get off. which would mean -- in -- would sound like zimmerman at some point was on top of trayvon martin. so basically we are trying to figure out who started the fight. that's really the issue. mad to that, was there ill-will in zimmerman's part and hatred that that would justify then the second-degree murder conviction rather than manslaughter. but the hard thing is we don't know. there was really no testimony as to what actually happened at the very beginning. we have zimmerman's view and we have miss jeantel's view what she said on the phone but there was nobody there to see it. >> that's in almostcase. >> let me ask you this then. the jurors have a lot of evidence to wade through. central to the case is what happened the night when trayvon martin was killed. that's exactly what we are discussing. what do you think jurors are discussing in terms of zimmerman's account of shooting

martin in self-defense or as a prosecutor john guy told the jury, quote, the defendant didn't shoot trayvon martin because he had to. he shot him because he wanted to. that's the bottom line according to him. >> i believe that the jury is going to dispense with the second-degree murder charge pretty quickly. i don't think that they established its burden in terms of showing depraved mind and ill-will. the manslaughter charge is what will keep them deliberating a longer because all they have to show is that he intentionally committed an act that was something beyond negligence. not in a he intentionally committed an act to kill trayvon martin, but that he committed this act intentionally and that his mindset was something more than negligence. and that's what is going to keep them there deliberating a little longer. >> but they can find that he -- have justifiable homicide even in the manslaughter. >> that's if they accept zimmerman's account that he

retreated. i just don't think that the defense did a good enough job explaining and showing that zimmerman's account was credible. zimmerman didn't take the stand. he needed to take the stand to show and, again, to testify he retreated, persuade this jury, he retreated and martin became the aggressor. >> while you are on that point let me go to this. judge ferreira told fox news earlier today he believes the defense had the upper hand throughout this trial but says defense attorney mark o'mara could have been more effective in his closing arguments and also adds the prosecution used more emotional sings during its summation because their case was just as to thin on the law so how do you think george perceived the defense and prosecution during their closing arguments? >> it all depends -- it is hard to say for us watching it where we are not in the courtroom to see how it actually plays in person. it is very different to be there than watch on television. the defense had a lot of -- you

know, the props in a way. i think they were very useful and had the cutouts of the two figures which really showed that trayvon martin was so much larger than george zimmerman which was very effective and puts it right there in front of the jurors. he brought in the piece of concrete which he was able to show and that was very impressive to show this can be usedes a weapon. had was not just a child. he can use concrete as weapon, bigger man essentially he was. even though he was under 18. so they -- they did things in -- then, of course, had the animation which can be very -- when the jurors walk away they remember those things. they are going to think about those things. the emotion the prosecution used was very effective but it could also backfire because it almost seemed in some ways they were angry and -- they seemed in some ways jury could perceive them to have almost -- exaggerate ad bit. i thought it was useful when the

defense said listen to the tape. listen to zimmerman's tone of voice himself as opposed to the way it was portrayed. >> none of the props mean anything unless they can credit zimmerman's account that he retreated. and i have never met a prosecutor that wasn't emotional and didn't use that type of passion. i try cases all the time. and i'm just -- wasment surpr e surprissurprisis you wasn't surprised by this. the level of emotion used in the final argument. >> let's get to one question before i let you go. there has been the discussion outside of the courtroom that this is a matter of race. we have the prosecutor saying it is not a case of race. it is a case of right and wrong. there are ome that believe this case is the result of political pressure that came to bear upon sanford and there wasn't enough evidence to move forward with a case against zimmerman in the first place but after several

demonstrations, comments by president obama, there was pressure to bring zimmerman to trial. what's your perspective on this? >> i think that's a real possibility and even in the testimony when we heard that the first time that the mother hears the tape is in the mayor's office, 911 call, that's not what we normally expect to have happened. and then when the young girl was first interviewed she's interviewed in the presence of the mother next to the trayvon martin's mother, again, that's not what normally would happen in a criminal case. clearly, there was an impact that was going on around them had on bringing this case. >> that's because the sanford police didn't investigate the case. had they properly investigated the case from the start we wouldn't have had the unfolding of events the way they unfolded. >> perhaps or it could also be they really didn't feel there was muff and that this was a case that was brought and basically let's leave it up to the jury. >> exactly. that's when should have happened in the first place. shouldn't have taken a month to indict him. >> that's where we will leave

everything now. the hands of the jurors because they are the ones. six ladies will be the ones that decide the fate of george zimmerman. we all sadly know the fate of trayvon martin. thank you for your perspective and appreciate your coming in and sharing this with us. >> thank you. we are keeping a close eye on the george zimmerman trial where a verdict could come down at any moment now. we will have that for when you it happens. plus, coming up, we will take a look at other high-profile murder cases that have happened. >> including the o.j. simpson case and casey anthony's and how those juries came to their decisions. also a closer look at the women tasked with the sighting of zimmerman's fate and why both sides agreed to put them on the jury. >> the state told you that he had no decisions? they dared to tell you that trayvon martin had no decisions? my client planned this?

welcome back. time for a quick check of the headlines. officials say the mechanical error may have caused a deadly train crash outside of paris, france. the train derailed leaving six

people dead. president obama delivering his weekly address saying an overhaul of the nation's immigration system can provide a big boost to the economy. the president cited former president george bush's support for a comprehensive solution. 23 people have been injured during a stampede of spain's running of the bulls. you always take your chances there. among them an american college student. the thrill seekers were crushed in a narrow tunnel. back to florida for you where jury deliberations are about to resume in the george zimmerman murder trial. the jurors reconvening this morning after discussing zimmerman's fate for more than three hours yesterday. so how does this case relate to other high-proceed pile trials? will carr is live for us in los angeles with more on that. >> when you look at other high-profile cases, just how long the jury is out for or has been out for in the past and the

effect it has on the verdict is a little bit unclear. remember back in 1995, there was guy by the name of o.j. simpson. his case captivated the world. he was -- his jury was out for about four hours. came back with a not guilty verdict for the murders of nicole brown simpson and ronald goldman. that jury came back so quickly that was faster than simpson's white bronco chase which was about five hours. 13 years later, though, another jury found simpson guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping. that took 13 hours. another high-profile case, casey anthony was accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, caylee. that jury took just under 11 hours to find anthony not guilty. all show some jurors did say after the case that they didn't think she was innocent. there just wasn't enough evidence to convict her of the most serious charges. jodi arias, a five-month trial. the jury convicted arias of killing travis alexander. after 16 1/2 hours. but after 13 hours they couldn't decide on giving arias the death

penalty or life. that was a mistrial for the sentencing phase. one thing that's clear in each of the case, each jury had the case they can'ted to defend. they knew they had to defend their decisions afterwards. >> it isn't necessarily relevant that the law -- however long it goes on it is a hung jury. it could only mean -- again, speculation. that they are doing their job. >> that's certainly something that this jury will be keeping in mind with george zimmerman's fate hanging in the balance. >> lot of speculating now. only the jurors know what is going on in their room as they deliberate. thank you so much. will carr reporting for us. egypt is announcing a criminal investigation against islamist president mohamed morsi. are prosecutors saying they were examining complaints of spying and citing violence and ruining the economy. jennifer grif sin live from

washington. details about the story. what a story. >> well, it keeps going. congress will consider as early as next week whether to cut off military aid to egypt in the wake of what no one in washington wants to call a coup. senators mccain and carl levin argued aid should be cut. middle east experts disagree. >> under no circumstances would i formally suspend or even letten to suspend publicly aid to egypt. >> the u.s. has given $1.3 billion in aid to the egyptians since 1979 when they made peace with israel. mostly includes f-16 fighter jets and m- abrams tanks. just this week the pentagon confirms it will deliver another four f-16s to egypt's military in august. about half of the $1.3 billion allocated fiscal year 2013 is already in the pipeline. since the removal of president morsi, the united arab emirates

and saudi arabia have stepped in pledging nearly $welfare million to the new egyptian government and its military. >> size can't supply 16s and m-1 abram tanks. saudis can not provide expertise the intelligence, training that only the u.s. military can. no. i think that the saudis can do a lot to buy influence in egypt. perhaps even some with the military. but they cannot replace the united states as the single most credible partner that this egyptian military depends on and needs. >> meanwhile, defense secretary chuck hagel has been appointed by the administration to serve as the point man that diplomat in chief to the egyptian leadership during this period of transition. the defense secretary hagel has spoken to his egyptian counterpart, des facto leader in egypt more than eight timesins since the change of government on july 3. often for 45 minutes at a time attempting to convince the egyptian military to move to civilian rule as quickly as

possible. >> jennifer, thanks for the update. coming up, death toll rising in the san francisco jet crash. what we are learning about the latest victim. >> we are waiting for the jury to resume deliberations in the george zimmerman trial. as we await their decision we take a closer look at why the state and the defense both wanted the six women on that jury. >> a teenager is dead. he's dead lou no fault of his own. he's dead because another man-made assumptions.

last year. >> reporter: jurors took lunch inside of the courthouse and they are expectted to continue or resume deliberation this afternoon. as you can see behind me, we also expect the protests to continue outside of the courthouse. on one side you have a couple of dozen protesters calling for the jury to convict george zimmerman while a smaller group calls for his acquittal. at times both sides confront each other and debate but so far the protests have remained peaceful. meanwhile, state attorney angela corey's office confirms the firing of an information technology specialist who worked for the special prosecutor's office in the zimmerman case. a month ago ben testified and he was accused into hacking into sensitive employee files and

trying to protect himself under the whistleblower law with unfounded allegations against his former colleagues. inside the courthouse, six jurors are set to continue deliberation this afternoon. deliberating the fate of george zimmerman who faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. obviously this has been a highly emotional case. authorities and civic leaders have been warning activists on both sides to respect the rule of law regardless of what the jury decides. >> yes. thank you very much. court house and courtroom behind you there, we understand the jurors have just returned to continue on with their deliberations after their short recess today. who are the six jurors in the george zimmerman case? and why were they picked? the breakdown, they are all women. five are white. one is hispanic. most are married and some have children. so what does each side hope to

get from their choices when the verdict is handed up? let's bring in doug burns, defense attorney, and former prosecutor. so, doug, we wouldn't go through each one of these jurors specifically. let's talk first about juror number one. we can bring it up on your screen. a little quick bio of juror number one. she is an hispanic nurse. has several children. in fact, eight, total. she -- lived in chicago at the time of the shooting. also, i would add to that in the background i received she said she was, you know, arrested once in chicago as well. >> right. the first thing you have to say to your self, why would ttwo ad on opposite sides of the case would be happy with a one-gender jury. the reason for that, i submit, is that on the one hand, female could be viewed somebody that would say oh, my god, of course i understand why he was in fear. that's good for the defense. but then you flip the dynamic

completely on its head and the argument is they can empathize with member who lost a child. each side saw through their tunnel vision what they intended to argue in this trial. benefit in a female jury. >> one of the commonalities amongst all of them, five out of the six are mothers and -- >> yes. >> let's take a look at number two. juror number two, middle-aged white woman, married 30 years. her 28-year-old son is an attorney. does that say something in terms of what her mindset may be? >> very good question. there are certain red flags and labels that come up during jury selection. i have been picking juries 27 years. they are like any of your relatives law enforcement, anybody in your family an attorney? you know, that type of thing. >> the state actually denied her. they tried to get her not accepted. >> the conventional wisdom is an attorney in the family, jurors do take seriously instructions not to ask their relatives to explain legal principles.

it is a different concept. not that they will violate rules but being around a lawyer, you know, in their family, you know, makes -- generally, jury selections on both sides often try to bump those who have the attorneys in their families. >> juror number three, also described as a middle-aged white woman. taking a look at her background. she described the protests that were going on there in sanford as rioting. her husband is an attorney. speaking of attorneys. she has two date zplers similar dynamics. in other words, she has children. so she can clearly empathize with the loss of a child and how horrific that is. we heard this all week throughout the analysis which has been very good. this is not a case where emotion is supposed to be used, obviously. judge will say don't base your decision upon a motion. base it on the evidence you heard. lot of the prosecutor's summation had to default to emotion because they had no argument really to speak of on, ladies and gentlemen, they are saying it was self-defense.

now i'm going argue to you how the evidence specifically demonstrated that it wasn't self-defense. where are you going with that? >> yeah. >> it is a tough argument. >> i'm going to have to meld these next three together. we are running short on time. juror number four, she is described as retired white woman. she's the only one unmarried and has no children. she also knew a lot about the case. juror number five, white woman, also a mother, young white woman. mother of two adolescent children. told them that this case -- used this case as an exam tomorrow her children not to go out at night. finally a white woman in her 60s, lived in iowa at the time of the shooting. she is married and has a 28-year-old son the woman who doesn't have children obviously takes on -- dynamic i spoke of earlier, they will empathize with a loss of a child. partially explains why both sides are happy with females. they saw the different dynamic on different sides. again, i'm not a big pan, you know, and all lawyers are

different, of necessarily a label. this type of person is good for the defense in one -- it is -- not a science. when they selected this juror, you know, they went law and a feel. again the overall explanation of why both sides in a trial would be happy with six women is because of the would dynamics i mentioned. >> what about -- owning guns versus not owning guns. that was mentioned in several of the backgrounds. specifically juror number six, her husband has guns. the state had to try to strike her. there were would different jurors they tried to strike. this was the second one. >> that's a huge dynamic in this case. reason why i think -- i'm not -- you know, i'm trying to process why this case is -- as it is. because there is a political dynamic, in other words, local law enforcement decided not to bring the charges. prosecutor from another jurisdiction came in and that forced politically in a sense. then there is the gun debate

lurking in the background. if there is no gun, nobody dies. okay. that's what people are thinking and saying and they are entitled to think and say had a. prosecution would have been better served -- look, this was fistfight. the injuries weren't that serious. he didn't go to the hospital. and guess what, the defendant killed him in a fistfight. limb would have done a 20-minute summation on that alone. >> in terms if you were to give your -- get esp right now, what do you think these jurors are going to decide? >> that's a great question. i have been really pondering this one. it is interesting because thees have par off the wall is one that free serves the legacy and dignity of the victim and also doesn't condemn zimmerman as a killer. that's going to be a deadlock. again, can we predict that's going to happen? no. the real -- predictions about second-degree murder are correct which is that they were not able to legally prove and it may be some type of compromise. i don't have a crystal ball.

this is one of the more difficult cases for me. >> would you expect them to continue deliberations at this point? do you think there would be a decision? >> i will do a crystal buhl thaì(lc% i think they are going to deliberate longer because when they sent out the first note, they said give us the exhibits. to a veteran trial lawyer that says look, we are going the take our time. and go through everything. they were sequestered, tired. they are going to not give it 100% effort. let's hope they are giving it the all-out effort. go lou everything and try to do what -- evaluate the evidence against the law the judge gave them. >> and not go on emotion. >> that was a big part of the prosecutor's presentation. >> thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. when we return, new details on the irs scandal. as we await a new congressional hearing to begin. who will be called this time around to testify about the targeting of conservative

groups? jurors in florida continue to discuss the fate of george zimmerman. the very latest on this case coming up. >> the guy they want you to believe is the neighborhood watch cop wannabe, not one. ♪

serino then dropped this bombshell in court. >> you think they are -- >> yes. >> that testimony was stricken from the record but remains in the minds of jurors. there was testimony from zimmerman's best friend and air marshal who wrote a book about the shooting. though he admitted he wrote the back strictly from memory. >> it was than until four months later that you went back and sort of scoured your own memory to put back together what he told you on that night, 2:00 in the morning and 27th? >> unfortunately i did not take any notes. that was memory. >> reporter: former sanford police chief bill lee testified about how the case even divided city leaders say when the city manager played the 911 calls for the martin family, police were not allowed in the room. >> is that normally an event that would be handled by law enforcement? >> yes. >> the city manager then shot back saying that he was only trying to accommodate the martin family. >> bottom line was that it was the decent thing to do to play

drink water. >> that's really the best recommendation. you have spoken. reducing a lot of these to moderation once or twice a week, no problem. >> moderation in everything. >> so true. you have to be careful with this. >> let me ask you another quick question, what about omega 3? >> that's a good one. a big study that came out yesterday that omega 3 fatty acid, large consumption of that, increase the risk of prostate cancer. we will be talking about this tomorrow on "sunday house call." a lot of questions, we will answer them. >> that will do it for us. thank you, doc. health he . >> the latest on the george zimmerman trial as we await the verdict. >> we will bring you any breaking news as soon as it happens.
