4:26 am
talk to professor allen g dersowitz in the murder trial of trayn martin. per barrel. florida young man.
4:27 am
4:28 am
4:29 am
4:30 am
now back to geraldo. >> oo an article today there will be riots on the street if there is an acquittal.
4:31 am
if there are riots it will be the prosecutor's fault because she over charged raised expectations. no reasonable jury is going to convict based on the evidence i know of second degree murder. this prosecutor may not have only perjury they will be raising it to an unacceptable level. >> some suggest the disappointment in the minority community might be so acute it would lead to urban rioting like it did exactly 20-years ago this weekend. following the acquittal of four u.s. cops videotaped and beating of rodney king. >> it was the deadliest urban riot in history. at least half a dozen people died here. hundreds of others critically injured and thousands of families broken by bullets burned homes and businesses and arrests.
4:32 am
a terrible passion ceased much of the community and used it as a lamb excu. shameless looting and robbering that may be unprecedented in modern times. it was apauling and unbelievable and all kinds of people got into the act. when the controversy over the police beating of rodney king exploded daryl gates finally agreed he would retire later this summer. after a nationwide search for a replacement a relative unknown willie williams of philadelphia got the nod. obviously when he decided to take this job chief williams had no idea of the firestorm he would be inheriting. >> if you do try to start fires fill out the police department they lock you upery quickly. >> you think the cops treated you good? did they do you the way you did because you are a black man? >> oh, of course. >> or was it because you were out of control? >> not out of contl. i was out of control for not stopping the car andor continuing to go down the street
4:33 am
with the police but once i did that and stopped and got out of the car and laid down, did everything i was supposed to do only time you see me out of control is when the taser was going through me. >> the statement the night the riot broke out, can't we a just get along? >> that's what i like to be remembered by can't we all get along. >> what do you think? can we all get along? >> of course. i work on it every day. every day i am always getting along with people being a part of my community. working with kids, yes, yes, we can get along. >> to help clean up. >> you want to help clean up? >> yeah. >> does it make you feel good to do that? >> yes. >> did all of the violence scare you? >> yes,ind of. >> do you hope it is over now?
4:34 am
>> yes. >> so do i. so does everybody. very nice of you, very courageo of you to help clean up. >> hopefully los angeles and the rest of us are sufficiently evolved in the jury verdict and the george zimmerman trial has been there let's understand the relative strength or wreakness of the government's case against the alleged murder. >> florida prosecutors stacy honowitz. isn't the professor right? unless you have a secret videotape somewhere or a surprise witness there's no way a government can prove the murder case, is there? >> i think those are really very strong words. i think it is difficult for us to sit here monday morning quarterback. i don't have all of the facts. professor derowitz doesn't have all of the facts in the case. the prosecutor is the only one
4:35 am
in her team that knows what the evidence does and does not show. certainly at the bond hearing you had to prove proof of guilt with evidence presumptionas great. the judge never made a ruling on that instead he set a bond. we have to wait and see just like everybody else. they were peacefu gatherings when this came about. i am hoping everybody sticks to that motto if there is a dismissal in this case. >> let's stick to the evidence. the evidence is in the affidavit. if there were more they were obliged in the affidavit. they swear to toll tell the trud the whole truth. you are not supposed to keep back evidence that maybe you can use later. this is a public case. everybody knows what the evidence is. we know there are bruises in the back of the head. sglirm man it's not in the affidavit. we don know who started the fight. it says in the affidavit zimmerman confronted martin and a struggle ensued.
4:36 am
past tense. the struggle ensued. after the bail herring who started it? i don't know. this isn't poker. you don't play with two of our cards down. if you are a prosecutor and you are submitting affidavit like this you put your evidence forward. the only reasonable inference there is no reasonable inference in this affidavi if you read this without knowing anything about the background you say i don't even see a crime here. what's the crime? there are no morrell ements stated for any of the crime. >> what if the prosecutor knew of the photographer of george zimmerman's bloody head and didn't give it what about that? >> you are swearing to tell the whole truth. you submit an affidavit that includes the ed that is not only unethical it is probably criminal. >> do you see it a different way? >> of course i do. in any affidavit when you present it at a bond hearing you are not at the discovery phase.
4:37 am
sometimes probable cause affidavits are -- >> tre were elements of -- >> you would have to say, it doesn't necessarily mean that the crime didn't happen because he had bruises and a scratch on the back of his head. let me tell you something you would have to -- you would have to make an argument thathe prosecutor proceeded in bad faith. i have no probable cause. that is not a judgment for us to make at this junction tour. >> yes, it is. she may have had probable cause but she absolutely acted in bad faith if she knew there was exculpatory evidence like a bloody head and she willfully and deliberately said keep that out of your affidavit. >> that's what you are assuming that a prosecutor -- that if a police officer called me i would say to a police officer, do me a
4:38 am
favor we have aig major hearing coming out leave something out. you are accusing her of acting in bad faith. i think that's criminal to be making that kind of statement. >> you are accusing me of being a criminal. >> i am saying when you make a judgment like that that she purposely withheld evidence i think that kind of statement is extremely bold. i really do. >> it's not bold. remember abc had the information, we remember that he was photographed as soon as the crime occurred. how could she not have this formation? how could she be the only person in the city not to know there was blood on the paback of his head. you are defending a prosecutor because you are a prosecutor. >> you are 100 percent wrong. listen to me. i am not defending anybody if they did something in bad faith. the funny and interesting thing is the defense attorney who is an excellent defense attorney you don't hear him going on a tv station and saying the prosecution held back anything. it's a bond hearing.
4:39 am
we are at the bond hearing stage. >> we are going to go to a commercial. up next did george zimmerman or his family members purger themselves when they claim they would desitte when they were sitting on over

with the capital one cash rewards card you get a 50% annual bonus. and everyone likes 50% more cash -- well, except her. no! but, i'm about to change that. ♪ every little baby wants 50% more cash... ♪ phhht!
4:42 am
fine, you try. [ strings breaking, wood splintering ] ha ha. [ male announcer ] the capital one cash rewards card. the card for people who want 50% more cash ♪ what's in your wallet? ♪ what's in your...your... >> we were before you last friday on a bond hearing. they said they didn't have very
4:43 am
much financial standing they didn't have very much saving. there was a web suit by my client called the real george zimmerman.com with a request for donations on it. you need to be aware there was -- actually is 150,000 dollars available to the family. >> i will submit that as a change of circumstances regarding the bond and i would ask the court to address it properly. >> prime time alert the judge did george sglirm man purger himself or family members purger themselves under oath on the stand claiming they were all broke. was it a simple omission or willfu disregard for the truth? should there be a hearing about that? continuing with special prosecut prosecutor is there something nefarious here?
4:44 am
>> certainly under the rules of criminal procedure in florida if there are omissions and misrepresents made a bond hearg they have right to ask for bail revocation or ask bail to be increased to whatever it is. at the time they went under oath and made a material statement they were indigent and had no funds. the judge will take it under advisement and make that determination. also under the rules if there has been an intentional problem it can be a felony. interesting to see what the testimony to the judge was with regard to them having knowledge of t web site and the money. >> the prosecutor saying if you willfully omit something under oath you are guilty of a possible crime. that doesn't apply to the prosecutor? you would thk it applies to some poor guy on the witness stand it appes a prosecutor and a policeman. >> if george zimmerman knew he
4:45 am
had $200,000 available to him that he thought he could spend it he obviously should have sent it back to the court. if he didn't say it to the court there is a possibility that he may he committed purerjury. i say it's to the prosecutor and the defendant. >> i don't think this is about me. i really don't. this is about what you believe the prosecutor did intentionally by withholding evidence. in any bond hearing you know that when you make your bond application you were saying this is the reason th person should be held. he never said the state withheld anything. he had access to e photographs. those photographs does not mean that a crime did not take place. you are asking me to say what they did wausz entirely improper and criminal. i am saying it wasn't. >> well it was. just because a crime was
4:46 am
committed or wasn't committed that's for the judge to decide. you don't withhold evidence that is material and relevant on the issue o whether a crime was committed. why didn't omira do this? he has to be a friend of the judge. he is not going to make this kind of charges. i am going to make these kinds of charges. >> any defense attorney who feels as they they are being short changed the prosecution or have the evidence withheld is going to be the first one to announce to the court. there is prosecutorial misconduct. theyre not doing it because they have to practice in front of the judge. if they feel like they are being railroaded they are going to say it. >> let's bring this back. i only have a minute left. i still believe there's no depraved indifference to human life. there is no murder, too. >> i won't make that judgment. won't make that judgment because i don't have the evidence in front of me.
4:47 am
>> would you say on the basis of this evidence that there is no murder 2 charge? >> i am saying based on what i have heard so far am i telling the probable cause affidavit and what the murder 2 are? is it blatant? i can't say that now. i don't have everything. >> if you were a judge you would dismiss the murder, too, right? >> there is going to be a stand your ground motion here. that is when it is all going to come out. >> there already has been a motion based on this affidavit. >> excellent debate. i really appreciate it. thank you, both. coming up octo mom told us she was interested in doing a reality show. we are talking about everything from governor christie to a lesbian three some. after th

4:53 am
attack? >> 99 percent of the time i am regular and i am cool i will have fun. i will go jump out of an airplane tomorrow, like i don't care. i have learned why it happens to me. at certain points i can really get almost like depressed ford weeks at a time and be miserable for days on end. i lived an unhealthy lifestyle for a long time when i don't eat write and not sleeping and drinking a lot. it can spiral m into this hole. >> i became one of 8 cast members on jersey shore. what i didn't know then is the gig i just landed where cameras follow you all around all day where friends and family are not allowed to visit, where i wouldn't have access to a trcel phone tv or radio for weeks was a worse case scenario for someone who's stress level can easily spiral in control. did you confess that when they casted you?

4:56 am
of the shower naked and grabbed deena and messed with her that way. obviously i was doing that because there was a camera on me and it was funny. but some people act up a bit with the drama. they have fights nor no reason. >> it is tough filming for me. mtv is my first home. they have made me who i am. i am going do another season of them season 6 coming up. hopefully i will get my own show after that. >> are you going to stay in it? are you going to fight stress. >> when i am on stage i am on the spot i am so calm and cool becausi am present i am not thinking about anything else. like right now there's nothing becaus i am here. not reality show it is a little different because i never sleep. if i am sleeping there's no entertainment i am good. >> you can control it. >> i can control it. >> thank you so much. >> thank you very much for
