and an important answer to a good question by sean hannity. saying wow, it kind of gives the person you're talking to a chance to amend what they're saying. he could have said well, i knew a little bit about it. we talked about it in class once but i'm not an expert on it. >> right, i think what you're going to have is the defense team trying to explain that the self defense course, maybe they didn't use the "stand your ground"s. regardless of that, the question becomes what do the facts present themselves -- what is the effect of knowing the "stand your ground law"? does it change the fact or circumstance that it happened? and i think it shows that doesn't change the facts today. >> he didn't have to lie about it, he chose to anyway. if he is going to lie about the small things just because he thinks he can get away with it, he is going to lie about the big things. >> the jury is going to end up deciding what happened that night. you saw a lot of things here, a guy trying to go to school trying to be a quote unquote, cop. that is a rarity. th

anyway, i'm going to read it to you, sean hannity says is there anything you regret? do you regret getting out of the car to follow trayvon martin that night, that is something he should regret. and he is asked, do you regret you had a gun that night? of course there wouldn't be a trial. sean says do you feel you wouldn't be here for this interview if you didn't have that gun? zimmerman says no, sir. gary, there is an awful lot for george zimmerman to regret. and it seems to me any juror is going to know that. >> sure, absolutely, there is a lot for george zimmerman to regret here. i'm not exactly sure. i think the defense's job here is to make sure that the jury doesn't get caught up in the sensationalism part of this. whether or not that had an impact, whether it is to deciding issue in the case is not. i think it will be the defense attorney's job to lay out if he was afraid for his life. will it work? i think if he gets on the stand and proves it is the objective. you have the objective, proving it is reasonable to act, the prosecution did that. trying to show tha

we >> welcome back to "hannity"."e of mient view with george zimmerman and his attorney. >> there's a 4 minute gap in this case. what did you do from that minute forward when dispatch says we don't need you to follow him. what did you do next? >> i walked across the sidewalk on to my street where i thought i would meet a police officer that i called. >> you did not continue to follow him at that point? >> no, sir. >> you continue from there. you sounded at that moment on the tape a little distracted. what were you distractions? were you looking for him? >> i believe they asked me for my address and i wanted to be sure that nobody was lingering and could hear my address and come back. i was making sure that there wasn't anybody that was going to surprise me and just trying to get an accurate location. >> they said can we reach you here at a certain location. you said have them call me. why did you want them at that point to call you? >> i hadn't given them a correct address. i gave them the clubhouse vicinity. i was wa

look at what -- how the prosecution used the hannity tape once again on this issue. let's watch this. >> why do you think he was running then? >> i don't -- he was -- >> you said he was running. >> he was like skipping, going away quickly. but he wasn't running out of fear. he was not running, he was not actually running. >> hannity just asking a very simple question, well, perhaps trayvon martin was scared of you. since you're following him. and he is running away from you. and so he realizes at that time, the defendant realizes oh, that doesn't look good. because that means i'm chasing him. that means trayvon martin is the one that is scared. that doesn't look good for me. so what does he say? oh, he is skipping away. la, la, la. that is what he is claiming. >> faith, the way you get a jury to resent a defendant not testifying is you pile up these questions that are unsatisfactory to a jury. they do really want to know, are you saying he was running or not running? why did you really get out of the car? how did you get that gun from basically behind your back when
