"nightline" is back in just 60 seconds.
12:39 am
from new york city, this is "nightline" with cynthia mcfadden. good evening, and thank you for joining us, the case which has gripped much of the nation's attention is now in the hands of the jury. six women, five of them white, will decide the fate of george zimmerman charged with second degree murder in the death of 17-year-old trayvon martin. prosecutors claim zimmerman was a want to be cop who took the law into his own hands when he saw a young black man in his suburban neighborhood. zimmerman says he was acting in self defense. they are urging calm, whatever the verdict, more on the george zimmerman trial. >> your verdict finding george zimmerman either guilty or not guilty must be unanimous. >> reporter: almost 17 months
12:40 am
after trayvon martin was shot and killed by george zimmerman his fate is now finally in the hands of the jury. >> the verdict must be the verdict of each juror as well as the jury, as a whole. >> reporter: the panel of six women, sequestered for weeks, now are impaneled and bear the responsibility of either convicting george zimmerman of manslaughter, second degree murder, or not guilty. zimmerman shot and killed the 17-year-old on a night in february, 2012. attorney mark o'mara taking the step of introducing the man the jurors sat across for two weeks now. o'mara insisting the state offered no proof that 29-year-old former neighborhood watchman murdered martin. >> you want to take away somebody's liberty? they have to prove the case, the burden is on the state. >> reporter: o'mara even brought out a block of cement to show his client had to shoot in self
12:41 am
defense. >> that is cement. that is the sidewalk. and that is not an unarmed teenager with nothing but skittles trying to get home. >> reporter: and he even suggested it was martin who stalked zimmerman. >> try not to do much, starting now. >> reporter: acting out what he says were the four minutes martin waited for him, instead of going home. but it was the prosecution which got the last word, casting those six female jurors' decision as historic. >> your verdict is not going to change the past. but it will forever define it. >> reporter: passionately, prosecutor john guy lashed into zimmerman, saying his claim of self defense was a lie, when he left his car and started to
12:42 am
follow the 17-year-old. >> this case is not standing your ground, it is about staying in your car. >> reporter: evoking the young man's youth. >> what is that, when a grown man, frustrated, angry with hate in his heart gets out of his car with a loaded gun and follows a child? a stranger in the dark. and shoots him through his heart. >> could you tell the difference between the way the jurors reacted to mark o'mara versus john guy? >> absolutely, absolutely, i think they listened to mark o'mara, they respect him. he is a terrific lawyer, but they did not take their eyes off of john guy, and that is very telling. >> reporter: trayvon martin's parents have been in court every day. their attorney spoke to us this afternoon. 23 days of this trial they sat through every single day.
12:43 am
have they been affected by that, at all? >> very much so at times you see just the tears in their eyes and they quietly weep to themselves, but yet they continue to be dignified and graceful and try to say we have a purpose that we won't let our son's death be in vain. >> reporter: the testimony started with a flat joke. from the start, the state argued regarding the self defense, with witnesses like martin's friend, rachel jeantel, appearing to falter on the stand. >> i thought it could have been, you said, for all you know, trayvon martin smashing george zimmerman in the face, is what you actually heard? >> what? >> yeah, just earlier today. >> no. you didn't get that from me. >> reporter: and the
12:44 am
prosecution's key witness essentially agreed with the defense that zimmerman's story was consistent. >> was there anything else in this case where you got the insight that he may be a pathlogical liar? >> no. >> reporter: but the defense seemed to suffer, regarding the cross examination of rachel jeantel. >> can you read any of the words on it? >> i don't understand kersef, i don't read kersef. >> reporter: followed by this selfy, photo taken by the attorney's daughter. but the caption, we beat stupidity. hash tag, "dad killed it." later apologized for the incident. trayvon martin's death and the fact that zimmerman was not arrested until 45 days after the killing triggered protests. the trial, serving as a reminder
12:45 am
of lingering racial tensions in the country. both sides in the trial have said the case is not about race. prosecutor john guy even made that point in his rebuttal today. >> this case is not about race. it is about right and wrong. >> reporter: but the issue of race as persistently shadowed the case throughout. >> the young man was just being a kid on his way home. and it is so frustrating for people in the african-american community. because you know, he was not doing anything wrong. it is this gosh, here we go again, we can't seem to escape these kinds of things happening in our community. >> reporter: sitting in court right behind zimmerman the past few weeks, was shauna lloyd, the only african-american on the defense team. she says that mark o'mara assured her that zimmerman is not a racist. >> i feel bad for george, i think unfortunately he is fighting for his life, as well.
12:46 am
but i think that george is also fighting for a life that probably will never be the same. but it is still his. >> reporter: do you think of george zimmerman the topic differently than you think of zimmerman on trial? >> absolutely. >> i know he profiled trayvon martin for some reason and made the wrong assumption, and trayvon martin had to pay with his life. >> it is a trying time for all of us. >> reporter: this afternoon, local law enforcement officials urged people to stay calm. >> we're not sure what the verdict is going to bring out. but we, as a community, can ensure that we have an opportunity to speak our peace, peacefully. to come together, peacefully. >> we will not tolerate anyone who uses this verdict as an excuse to violate the law. >> reporter: today, a small group of mostly trayvon martin supporters gathered near the
12:47 am
courthouse in an area set aside for protesters. inside the court, judge deborah nelson told the jury to ignore all the outside distractionings and focus on the heavy responsibility they now bear. >> if you find trayvon martin was killed by george zimmerman, you will then need to consider the circumstances surrounding the killing, or whether the killing was deadly force. >> reporter: and later, the jurors asked for a list of all the evidence presented, perhaps a sign of how seriously they take this responsibility. tomorrow morning, 9:00 a.m. they will be back at the courthouse, making a momentous decision on whether or not george zimmerman should go to prison for life or be a free man. >> thanks, matt, of course we'll continue to follow this story. next, the movies we love to hate. how about a tornado striking l.a. filled with sharks? sharknado.

12:57 am
