the stand with the vivid testimony. >> without his testimony, there was nothing to support his claim of self-defense. and still evidence on the other side to indicate that it wasn't. so i think it was absolutely crucial that he took the stand in this case. and that means whether the jurors believe him is the key. >> how does him being a humanitarian play into this? >> it doesn't right now. what happened at that moment, whether it was or wasn't self-defense, whether or not he was a humanitarian is not important. it could come up in sentencing. and now to a quick-thinking girl who used facebook to save her father's life when no phones were working. she pleaded for help in a message when a tree crashed down on them in a storm. gio benitez is here. >> good morning. the 10-year-old girl and her
