what was george zimmerman's life? who was he before the trial? and before the incident with trayvon martin? >> i've been talking to his brother and father. george can't talk to anyone by the way because the federal cloud of debt still hangs over his head. he is not the same person now he was two years ago. if he didn't suffer so here case of ptsd than i did the shooting he would be inhuman let alone he turned into a national pariah with a 10,000-dollar bounty put on your head. before the trial his friends called and tug boat. he was the one they always called on when they need help. he would come to the rescue. the fbi and part of the reason they turned to him for the neighborhood watch was because he was so helpful. probably the most critical eyewitness at least permitted in the trial was the woman, young nice woman with her little baby whose home was invaded and she testified. it was very powerful. the jurors all talked about it. it affected them and after the home invasion, george came over and helped them hard in the house against potential br

if george zimmerman had been jorge zimmerman illegal immigrant you would never have heard of the case. they put the package quickly. it's how -- it took 40 minute for cbs to approve the green light doing the show and bringing the parents on. trayvon martin's parents on. say they had to undo the real tragedy of his life. which was his history. when trayvon martin was three, his father left his mother. for the next 12 years he was raised largely by his stepmother. alicia stanley who was cut totally out of the narrative until he was 15. his father is a truck driver and probably on the road a lot. his mother is a college graduate making good money. they are presentable people. i sat behind them at the trial. they are formable. you pay attention when you're there. they had to reunite them for the case. the stepmother got cut out. she got cut out two years earlier. the father left her for brandy green, the woman at sanford. trayvon martin was 15 at the time. as the stepmother said i was his rock. the rock was pulled out from underneath him. he had no foundation. his life started spiraling d

i think it seems pretty clear to most of us watching that george zimmerman's worst enemy is george zimmermanin case after case, he's been the teflon defendant. no charges stick. i suspect this is the first step of some legal maneuvering on his attorney's part that's going to end up with the case being dismissed against him for domestic violence. we all know this is not the end of the story for george zimmerman. there's just too many people accusing him of too much irresponsibility especially with guns. >> lisa bloom and faith jenkins, thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, al. >>> still ahead, news tonight about the officer who fired at a minivan full of kids. >>> also, president obama's powerful and personal speech today at nelson mandela's memorial. stay with us. people join angie's list for all kinds of reasons. i go to angie's list to gauge whether or not the projects will be done in a timely fashion and within budget. angie's list members can tell you which provider is the best in town. you'll find reviews on everything from home repair to healthcare. now that we're expecting, i li

we've seen it with george zimmerman.rd time we've seen a recanting after accusations were made. >> right. and i always say where there's smoke, there's fire. there's something going on with george zimmerman. it started before trayvon martin but look at the pattern of behavior we witnessed under the eyes of the law, is it illegal to have the guns? no. is it problematic? yes. there have been too many instances where george zimmerman has been accused of pulling his gun on people when he gets upset. we all know what happened with the trayvon martin case. so i see this as very problematic. i don't think it's the last time we'll be hearing about george zimmerman. >> all right. go ahead. >> i was just going to say, you know, if you ever want to try and guess and figure out what people are going to do in the future, you can just look at their past behavior. and the fact that this is how zimmerman resolves his conflicts is with a loaded weapon, even amongst the people he supposedly cares about, this is a real problem and we have

a state attorney announced today he will not file charges against george zimmerman who was arrested anda domestic incident last month. after his girlfriend left a frantic 911 call claiming zimmerman had pointed a gun at her, which zimmerman denied. but yesterday we reported she changed her story. in her sworn affidavit saying zimmerman, quote, never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner, also saying, quote, i want to be with george, and quote, i do not want george zimmerman charged. and tonight, after reviewing the affidavit, the state attorney said conflicting statements and lack of evidence or witnesses were the reasons for dropping the case. zimmerman's attorney just spoke to nbc legal analyst lisa bloom. she asked why george barricade himself inside the house. >> well, he did it before they arrived. he did it because he wanted to separate himself from samantha, as he said on the 911 tape. and he locked himself in the house so that he would be separated and there would be no misunderstanding as to where everybody was. >> no charges, the big news. we'll be right b

you look at george zimmerman's antics now.he was found not guilty. people, even the jurors were looking back going hey, what did we do? do we make the right decision? mel? >> some of them are saying publicly after the verdict they tried every way that they could under the through find him guilty on something, and the evidence just wasn't there. i'm sure it's heart breaking to now see the way this puz, putting it nicely on cnn is going about life. it's like the casey anthony trial. we all felt this chick is guilty, and we can't nail her for it. >> i think we thought he would be found guilty of something and that didn't happen. dean, you seemed really upset by this, why? >> do. i lost again -- >> i thought you were upset about something serious about the case. >> with the verdict, definitely. i'm upset you're bias because you haven't went to the obamacare website because you have insurance through your employer so you don't need to. i know i lost but i'm just throwing a last pitch in there. >> i'm impressed we were able to work

and there's george zimmerman holding it.ge holding the artwork appeared on the ebay site apparently to dispel any concerns that this was a hoax. it has been confirmed that this is a piece of artwork done by george zimmerman. it appeared yesterday. the first bid initially, 99 cents. it's right now at $99,966. again, that is the bidding. that is not necessarily where it's going to end. but i think many people were surprised by this. our critics who have looked at it said yes, there is some talent there, but more than likely, what's really driving the value is that it's coming from zimmerman supporters. george put a note on there and it says my artwork allows me to reflect and allow please to remain indoors, smiley face. of course that's a reference to the death threats he's been under. if this works, you can bet there's going to be a lot more art from george zimmerman to come. >> thank you. >>> this is cnn breaking news. >>> all right. there is some breaking news coming into the situation room right now. we've just learned the

when the george zimmerman trial came out, they made it about race. why can't they just assess themself as part of the problem. >> there is no self inflection. they came down to earth without the chip. you can try to keep pressing um on the remote control and it won't work. it is safer and easier and more mentally convenient for them to cast it out and not say they have a role in it and now i think the prediction will be that we'll see more of this in 2014, because -- guess what -- it worked. they got play off of it and they will keep riding it until it won't work for them and they'll go to something else. >> now i want to play a similar clip that will cause quite a bit of discussion. melissa harris had quite a things to say about mitt romney. >> a lot of people had emotions about this baby picture this year, this is the romney family. and of course they are on governor -- on his knee is his adopted grandson who is an adopted african-american child, kieran romney and any captions for this one? >> i think this picture is great. it sums up the diversity

if george zimmerman had been arrested for the alleged assault of his girlfriend before the trial was up i think we also would have seen a different verdict or hung jury or mistrial. so many aspects of the zimmerman case were played out in the court of public opinion differently than in the court of law. some jurors admitted they regret their own decision in the ruling which i think is tragic for whatever reason whether they felt pressured or they just wanted to go home you have to speak your mind on a jury. the reality is that teenaged boys, black boys in america hit a point some of them 11 years old, some 14 years old where they go from being cute boys to being threatening almost men in the minds of a lot of americans. that is the fundamental problem here is that that young black men were given the benefit of just being seen as young black men and not as thugs i think that that would have changed the verdict to start with so until we deal with the root issues of racism there will continue to be incidents like the zimmerman incident and outcomes like the outcome in the trial. >> liz,
