i am joined by alan grayson, former florida congressman, who is from the orlando area. congressman, good to have you with us tonight. you have -- you have been at these rallies for trayvon all week and have been paying close attention to the case. what are your impressions of this police house videotape that was obtained tonight? >> well, i think it blows apart the zimmerman argument that he was acting out of fear rather than out of hatred. but i'll tell you, i sometimes wonder why people think that's some kind of good defense. i don't believe it in his case. i think if you call someone "f'ing coon" then you're animated by nothing but hatred. but somehow he thinks if he says he feared, that excuses the death of a young boy. it doesn't. if you did the crime, you have to do the time. >> do you believe that this tape is inconsistent with the police report? >> yes, i've read the police report, i saw the tape, and i think there is an inconsistent. >> and what would you be thinking right now if you were representing the martin family in this case? >> i think that it proves th
