david mattingly on the watch there in sanford, florida. david, we'll check back later in the afternoon. thank you. >>> one of the biggest questions coming out of the trayvon martin case is what will lap to that stand your ground law? florida has taken big steps on deciding on that. coming up, josh levs with tails. >>> now to the case of the missing little boy that's gone cold but never closed. the fbi is tearing up a basement in this new york city home. missing for 33 years. at the time the boy the case was front page news across the country. >> in many ways he was the first missing child. he was america's missing child. >> the fbi has brand new interest in the local carpenter who used to have a work shop in that basement and was one of the last people to see etan before he disappeared. the carpenter hasn't been charged with any crime and says he had nothing to do with the child's disappearance. >>> a california woman remains in jail charged with the first-degree murder of this woman, brittany killgore who recently filed for divorce from he

. >> david mattingly is outside the jail where zimmerman is held in sanford, florida. hello to you. any indication about when he'll get out? >> well, the defense attorney walked out of the jail just a little while ago. he didn't give us any solid indication of when he was to be released. he said there was still a lot of work that needed to be done, particularly rarting security, not just for zimmerman, but for his family as well. and zimmerman himself has to get out of here, escape the scrutiny he's under, and get back into hiding. the hiding he emerged from to turn himself in. his attorney is saying his state of mind is looking forward. >> again, he's focused on getting out at this point. you know, it's a long, long process. this is the first step of it, and he's still very worried about the fact he's facing a lifetime sentence on a second degree murder charge. >> and at this moment, everyone is still waiting and watching, waiting to see what happens neck. how george zimmerman will begin his days of freedom and his days of working on his defense against this second degree murder ch

david mattingly is in sanford, florida, covering this story for us. vid, why might zimmerman remain in jail? what is it about the family not being able to collect enough collateral in order to post bond? >> reporter: well, we know the family was going to have difficulty with this. the prosecution wanted $1 million bond. the judge said it at $150,000. it's still difficult for this family of limited financial means to come up with what they need to get george zimmerman out of jail right now. the amount in cash, and the amount of collateral to come up to cover the rest of the $150,000. we heard george zimmerman through his attorney say he's inde gent, he's unemployed, he can't pay for his own defense. his wife is a college student. his father is a disabled veteran of limited income. his mother is retired. they do have a home. they're paying a mortgage on that. but they have limited income, and limited savings. so $150,000 is a very steep figure for this family to try and secure. >> and so what potentially might be next? what are zimmerman's attorneys sayi

. >> david mattingly is live for us in sanford, florida. it was a remarkable thing to watch on television, david. how did the martin family respond to that? you were there in the courtroom. >> reporter: yes, this was completely unexpected. i was looking right at trayvon martin's mother and father as george zimmerman was talking directly to them. i didn't see much of a reaction at all. they were very stoic. at times during the hearing, they would turn to each other and whisper something but not much reaction at all. as soon as this hearing was over, they got up and left the courtroom very quickly. didn't speak to anyone. and then they had their attorney come out to the cameras outside the courthouse to express their outrage. >> why today when he made all those statements to the police, why not show remorse there, if he was sincerely apologetic for killing this unarmed child? >> reporter: zimmerman was also grilled by prosecutors when he mentioned this. the prosecutor questioned him about the timing of this and about why he didn't say somethin

david mattingly was at that commission meeting today in sanford. what made them decide to block this resignation, david? >> reporter: well, the deciding vote came down to mayor jeff triplett and he decided that he wants to see how the investigations that are going on into the police department and how this department handled the investigation into the killing of trayvon martin before he makes a decision. so that means that the police chief is still not going to be on the job, but he's still going to be on the payroll, at least a couple more months, until those investigations are complete. >> and very briefly here, the problem had a lot of problems with other cases before this one but those were under a different chief, right? of this the guy that was reforming things. >> reporter: right. what this case did, the trayvon martin case, what that did was bring up all of this long-term problems that the black community here has had with the police department. a perception that there are two standards of justice here. one separate standard for the black re

david mattingly is live in sanford tonight. lot of people say this was an unexpected move but not the family attorney. let's listen. >> anticipating that there will be no grand jury because the family has always been hopeful that they would there would simply be an arrest. we believe from day one that they had enough evidence to arrest the killer of trayvon martin. >> help us understand, david, why do they think this is good news? >> well, by going to a grand jury, it could have given off signals the prosecutor in this case wasn't 100% certain that she had what it takes to get george zimmerman arrested and then tried for that offense. what this is saying now, though, is by taking this off the table, angela corey is cautioning everyone not to read anything into this about which way her office might be leaning as they continue with their investigation. so at this point no one can really say for sure what angela corey will do. one thing is certain. she is sitting squarely in the hot seat and is taking on that role of the decision

david mattingly has been covering this story since the very beginning and joins us now. vid, good to see you. obviously this task force -- tell me what you know about it, how it's different, what they're trying to accomplish with this thing. >> reporter: well, the governor putting this task force together saying he wanted to do this after the special prosecutor was finished putting her case together and getting the zimmerman case into court. so now the governor has come out. this is going to be headed up by the lieutenant governor. there are 17 people on it. the governor says that the makeup of this group is racially, regionally and professionally diverse, promising that they're going to be looking at data that's been collected by the state so they're going to make factual decisions about this law, trying to determine if it's being applied the way it was intended when it was passed years ago or if it's being abused. so there's a lot that this group is going to be able to do when they're looking at this data. but the public is also going to get a chance to weigh in with he

let's bring in our own david mattingly and he's on the scene with us in sanford, florida. of developments today and david, you've been on the scene from the beginning. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. this is extraordinary. you have two attorneys in a very high-profile case going to the media saying they've lost contact with their client and apparently lost control of him as well. they were very concerned to find out that he'd been reaching out and having off-the-record conversations with national media and also on his own contacting the special prosecutor's office and not only that, but setting up his own website to raise money for his defense and for his living expenses while he is in hiding right now. they said they didn't know anything about that, and they haven't heard from him since sunday. this press conference is still going on and even though they say they are no longer representing him, they have spent most of the time at their microphones here still defending george zimmerman, attacking the bad things that have been said about him and talking about how the evide

. >> david mattingly was inside the courtroom today for that hearing this morning.en george zimmerman could soon get that fresh breath of air? get out of jail? >> well, the courtroom the judge said it probably won't be today. and zimmerman's own attorneys are guessing it could be multiple days before he gets free. it all has to do with security concerns for zim eman himself. expressed his remorse for the loss of their son. but i looked trektly at trayvon martin's parents as zimmerman was saying this. they seemed absolutely impassive. they seemed like they were not moved whatsoever. immediately after the proceduring we heard from their attorney who expressed their outrage. >> zimmerman makes this self-serving apology in court 50 days later. 50 days later. you all have reviewed it. never once said i'm sorry. when he made all those statements to police, why not show remorse there if he was sincerely apologetic for killing this unarmed child. but nonetheless, zimmerman was given bond. that's something else he's going to have to work out. we heard from his wife, mother a

cnn's david mattingly is in sanford, florida. it was a surprise to folks with zimmerman on the stand. what did he actually say? >> that's right, wolf. we went into the courtroom today fully expecting to learn something new about the evidence that the prosecution has against george zimmerman. instead we heard from george zimmerman himself and an apology. with his freedom on the line george zimmerman surprises the courtroom taking the stand at his own bond hearing and speaking directly to the parents of trayvon martin. >> i wanted to say i am sorry for the loss of your son. i did not know how old he was. i thought he was a little bit younger than i am, and i did not know if he was armed or not. >> reporter: attorneys for martin's parents called the apology self-serving saying zimmerman had many chances to express remorse before now. >> all throughout, tracy martin had tears in his eyes as he watched the killer of his son and it was devastating that he got to give a self-serving apology to help him get a bond. they were very outrage

i'll talk with zimmerman's new lawyer and for now david mattingly joins us from sanford, florida. information. >> reporter: wolf, taking a look at the court documents that prosecutors filed telling the judge why they believe that george zimmerman should be charged with second-degree murder, was there one very telling paragraph and here we'll show it to you right now. it has to do with that 911 call and what was heard from george zimmerman as he was talking to the 911 operator. they talk about how zimmerman made reference to the people in the neighborhood that he felt had committed crimes and gotten away, referring to them as, quoting him saying these blanks, they always get away and then also said these blanking punks. that's significant because they're saying zimmerman used the word punks and did not utter a racial epithet as so many people thought he did during that 911 call. so that in itself is significant, but we're also looking at today at the question about whether george zimmerman is remaining behind bars about why bond was not set in this case so far. his attorney coming

first david mattingly who was at the hearing. >> reporter: everyone expected revelations. both sides walked into court anticipating new evidence from prosecutors arguing to keep george zimmerman in jail. no one expected this. >> my client wants to make a statement to the court, your honor. >> reporter: wearing a suit and shackles, george zimmerman shuffled to the witness stand and spoke directly to the parents of trayvon martin who were seated in the audience just a few feet away. >> i wanted to say i am sorry for the loss of your son. i did not know how old he was. i thought he was a little bit younger than i am. and i did not know if he was armed or not. >> reporter: but immediately the prosecutor attacked zimmerman questioning his timing and motivation. >> that's really addressed to the family where the media happens to be, correct? >> no. to the mother and the father. >> and tell me, after you committed this crime and you spoke to police, did you ever make that statement to the police, sir? that you were sorry for what you'd done? >> no, sir. >> you never stated that,

david mattingly following all of this. david, questions about zimmerman's safety and threats.do we know about the role of police in his protection now? >> well, when you look at the video of him departing the jail, the man with him was the bail bonds man. zimmerman himself was wearing a bullet proof vest at the time. as they sped off into the night they were assisted by sheriff's deputies that provided roadblocks so they could make a quick get away into parts unknown. we spoke to zimmerman's attorney today and he said they have multiple locations set up where zimmerman will be staying and they will shuttle him from location to location, a shell game just in case anyone tries to go looking for him. zimmerman does have the court's permission to go out of state if he wants to, but his attorney will not say if zimmerman is out of the state of florida or inside. he says he will be dealing with his client over the telephone and he already made arrangements so that they have already entered a not guilty plea to the second degree murder charge so zimmerman will not have to come back t

david mattingly is live in sanford, florida, where the hearing took place. david, as we mentioned, this thing was 120 seconds in and out. we did learn some information from it, didn't we? >> reporter: that's right. even though it was very uneventful, we did get an answer to the big question today, is george zimmerman going to get out of jail today? the answer is no. in fact, that didn't even come up as a consideration. that tells us that there was no agreement between the defense and the prosecution about a bond. also, it tells us that there is probably going to be a bond hearing between now and the time of his arraignment which is at the end of may, so it is possible he may not be sitting in jail the entire month and a half to his next court appearance. we do know that his attorney was concerned about his safety, possible they may have put off waiting for a bond hearing later to arrange some sort of safe place for him to go to once he does get out of jail. at the moment his freedom is still up in the air when they do have the bond hearing and it will be up t

. >> cnn's david mattingly is following the developments from sanford, florida. you got new information from zimmerman's attorney on the state of his mind. what do you know? >> that's right, mark o'mara emerged from the jail here without his high profile client to tell us that he's not -- has any solid indication of when george zimmerman will be getting out of jail. he said there's a lot here that needs to be done. not the least of which is security here, not just for zimmerman, but for his family as well. he has to somehow be able to get away from the scrutiny he's under at the county jail and slip back into hiding, possibly going out of state where he was lisking before he turned himself in to authorities here. but right now, his attorney is saying that his state of mind is such where he's focusing on getting out and working on his defense and he's very mindful that he's facing a second degree murder charge which could carry life in prison if he's found guilty. >> you know, yesterday, watching the hearing, david, it looked like a trial to me than an actual hear

david mattingly, good to talk to you again. what can you tell us about the new lawyer?rge zimmerman's new attorney. >> well, jorge he started his career out as a police officer, as an attorney one time he was a general counsel for the orange county office. he worked as an assistant attorney general here, prosecuting rico and organized crime cases. but he's distinguished as a pioneer in cases involving dna evidence. it's not known if that type of expertise will need to be brought to bear here. we know that george zimmerman has not been charged and not been arrested in this case of any wrongdoing. >> what are you hearing about where george zimmerman is right now? >> well, we don't know where he is. and there's a lot of people that's been looking for him. but back when we were still able to get answers from the sanford police department, they assured us that they knew where he was, they knew how to reach him and that they were in contact with him. so his whereabouts are not a mystery apparently to the authorities here. only to the public at large. >> so is there any indica

david mattingly is working the story for us tonight and he is outfront. david, good to see you.ays they have evidence of this meeting. what was the state attorney's response? >> reporter: well, we heard some very strong language, the strongest we've heard from any official coming from the state attorney norm wolfinger. he wrote i am outraged by the outright lies contained in the letter by benjamin crump. i encourage the justice department to investigate and document that no such meeting or communication occurred. he goes on to describe it as irresponsible rhetoric and another falsehood. so again, the strongest language that we've heard from any public official used in this case being directed right now at benjamin crump, the representative for the family of trayvon martin. >> as you're speaking, we're seeing the video which we first saw last week of george zimmerman going into police custody after, apparently, he had received medical attention. now obviously the zoom-in shows that there was a gash on the back of his head. some people say look, he's walking fine, he certainly doe
