brian: what does this all mean for the case going forward? what does it mean to the jury? joining us now, peter johnson, jr bad day? >> defense had an excellent day. there's a cavalcade of witnesses that are saying that's george. now, the implicit question is, are all these people lying? what benefit do they gain by lying for george zimmerman? one witness says they provided money for clothing that he could wear at the time of trial. one person is a federal air marshal. they worked in a political campaign with him. they heard him scream in the past. they said that's george zimmerman. so that's hugely important testimony and now we have this contradictory testimony in terms of trayvon martin's father as to whether he heard it, whether he didn't hear it. >> brian: what about the decision to come forward with the fact that he testified an element of marijuana in his system. >> that's very, very important. because it was indicated by mr. zimmerman that one of the reasons he was stopping and looking at trayvon martin was that he believed that he was on drugs. now we'll have evidence that corroborates his suspici
