appreciate it. >> let me get your reaction from the jury foreman.ot able to reach a verdict earlier this week. he insisting that race did not play a part in this. what say you to that? >> i think it's interesting. obviously, he was in these deliberations in ways neither one of us were, so i thought it was insightful to listen to him talk through some of the process. now, whether race played a factor into how they considered the law and the application of the law, i'm willing to believe him broadly but that's probably true. what we know is that we all bring with us our own kind of racial preconceived notions and that kind of shapes the way we interpret facts sometimes but what we all know is this is a case for many across a nation was emotional, something that many people across the political spectrum no matter their typical stan stanc stances, many thought amounted to a crime and even those skeptical of the role of race in law enforcement were able to concede that this looked pretty bad. an unarmed black man running away and watch him shot in the ba

today my colleague craig melvin spoke to the jury foreman about what went on inside that jury room. >en i first got inside the courtroom, you know, i came in with a very open mind, you know, so oftentimes i think due to my color and i was going to go and do x, y and z. that's not what i was going in there to do. i went and looked at all the evidence presented to me from the defense and from the prosecutor. when we got inside i made a judgment based on factual information. want my opinion, not my emotions, not anything i could inject into it but everything i made my decision on was on factual information. some people didn't do the same. >> how much of a role do you think race may have played inside the jury room? >> i don't believe it played a role inside the jury room. >> not at all? >> not that i could have seen. >> what was the chief argument being made against manslaughter and against murder as well? >> self-defense. >> nbc's gabe gutierrez has been following this story from the very beginning. he's joining us now from charleston, south carolina. gabe, good to visit with you. what
