played, sean hannity interviewed zimmerman shortly after he was arrested and charged with second degree murder and they played clips of the interview today in which san hannity asked george zimmerman, were you aware of florida's stand your ground law at all? and in that interview, which the jury heard this afternoon, george zimmerman says, no, i never was aware of this at all, which leads to us this big battle that is going on in the courtroom over the past 20 minutes between the attorneys, because the prosecutors want to bring in all of this evidence from zimmerman's collegiate past. going to community college, studying law enforcement and criminal law and want to submit his textbooks and e-mails, because the state contends not only did zimmerman want to be a police officer and had great enthusiasm for a pursuing that but also had great knowledge as far as criminal law and criminal litigation, and prosecutors would contend if they get into this testimony, that perhaps george zimmerman knew exactly how to phrase what he needed to say to police officers in order for the police officers to find the stand your ground law in florida, the state's self-defense law, which allow

a clear and bold lie. >> and it is obviously something that george zimmerman understood since he got an "a" in the class. gary, sean hannitywow, after george zimmerman says no, because it is a surprising answer. and an important answer to a good question by sean hannity. and also in saying wow, it kind of gives the person you're talking to a chance to amend what they're saying. >> sure. >> he could have said, well, i mean i knew a little bit about it or 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 terminology. it is part of the self-defense law, an affirmative defense. maybe what they will try to do is the way it's being described it wasn't taught to him that way. regardless of that, though, the question becomes, what do the facts present themselves? the effect of knowing the stand your ground law, does it change the circumstance or facts that happened? i don't think it will. the defense will say that didn't change the facts of what happened today. >> n

sean hannity interviewed george zimmerman a long time ago, and the prosecution played that video. now, sean got the interview, we all hustled, he beat us out, he got an interview with george zimmerman early on. the prosecution played that video for the jury as a statement of the defendant. what they were attempting to do is show a couple things, one of the things he said to sean was that he didn't know about the stand your ground defense in florida, so the prosecution put that out. then what they tried to do later in the day was to say george zimmerman knows all about this law, stand your ground defense, and that the reason he told the exculpatory stories to the police officers, video taped and audio taped is because he knew the law. the prosecution wants to prove that by rolling out course work he had taken in criminal justice work. that stood out. sean hannity was the star of the show today and got the interview nobody else did. some other interesting points. last night, end of the day the defense asked the detective on the stand, this is a state's witness, the detective or chie

george zimmerman. we were just watching an interview george zimmerman did with sean hannity of fox news. i have lisa bloom standing by as well as john burress. lisa, let me start off with you. it's interesting. you hear george zimmerman in that interview discuss the media's role. yet, he was giving a very high-profile interview with his attorney seated next to him in an attempt at that time to describe what he says happened that night. >> that's right. well, he chose an interview with a relatively friendly interviewer with his attorney by his side. he gave that one interview answering all of the questions that were posed to him. what the prosecution is doing by putting this on as well as all of the other witnesses is to try to establish inconsistencies in george zimmerman's story. every time he tells the story, there are some inconsistencies. the prosecution would say major inconsistencies which proves he's a liar. the defense would say minor changes in his story, which would be natural from anybody telling a story over and over. >> which brings me to the question, john. the interview giv

it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. >> sean: welcome back to hannity going over the george zimmermanody ready? i'm going to give you my theory of what happened. i think that this was a tragedy. a lot of crimes in this neighborhood and george zimmerman part of a community watch. he sees someone he doesn't recognize walking near a home. thinks he's suspicious and i think he has a reasonable thought process going into that. then you've got trayvon martin going to buy exitels and iced tea he is walking close to the house because he wants to get out of the rain. there, the two shall meet and there are questions we'll never know. why did trayvon punch george zimmerman and break his nose with that first shot? it became a tragedy. but i don't think a crime because of the position eye witness puts trayvon on top of george zimmerman. how many of you think that is false? how many don't? >> bloody nose. >> banged up. >> bloody nose. >> did you ever get punched in the noses a kid? >> testified could have been broken someone could have put it back into the place. >> could have? >> only way you can

hannity." two new developments regarding the george zimmerman trial.oday that the jury can hear evidence about trayvon martin having marijuana in his system when he was killed. and the trial could come to an end where the week is over, according to reports, defense attorney mark o'mara wants to rest by wednesday or thursday, meanwhile, the major focus of the defense today was the 911 tape from the night of the shooting. close friends and former coworkers of zimmerman testimonied it was zimmerman's voice on that tape. watch. >> you know whose voice that is in the background screaming? >> yes, definitely. it's georgie. >> have you an opinion on whose voice that is? >> i thought it was george. >> why do you think that? >> just the tone, just the volume and the tone of what i was hearing, it was something that -- because i talked to him as much on the phone or had, before this incident, as i did in person. so hearing his voice over a recording is something that your tone is a little different and sounds a little different over the phone, it sounded like ge

zimmerman through his interview with sean hannity. >> i want to ask you about that, the fact the prosecution played the interview. >> they're working behind and don't have anything to lose. to hear georgemerman say he has no regret getting out of his car and following trayvon martin and shooting and killing him and it was god's will, that is stunning. >> nothing to lose? >> they put his statements in already. they have all his statements. they heard his story numerous times. this is another time he's giving a statement and they will point out the inconsistencies. out the inconsistencies. already taken the stand. >> what about, it was god's plan and the mother of the victim is sitting in the courtroom, that's god's plan? >> it's important that the prosecution, if they want to get something on this, have got to include lesser includeds. manslaughter, negligence, assault, because if the jury says it wasn't second degree but we have a dead boy here. we want to punish zimmerman for something. what can we do? >> i see your point. they couldn't just pull up one sound bite from hannity. >> the rule of completeness. >> they were in a bind. the sound bite gives them something to argue about stat

george zimmerman. we were just watching an interview george zimmerman did with sean hannity of fox news. i have lisa bloom standing by as well as john burress. lisa, let me start off with you. it's interesting. you hear george zimmerman in that interview discuss the media's role. yet, he was giving a very high-profile interview with his attorney seated next to him in an attempt at that time to describe what he says happened that night. >> that's right. well, he chose an interview with a relatively friendly interviewer with his attorney by his side. he gave that one interview answering all of the questions that were posed to him. what the prosecution is doing by in

hannity. ever since george zimmerman was arrested there has been a racial divide going on in our country. just yesterday, jimmy carter was asked a controversial question on that topic. >> do you think that we have a form of two states and/or apartheid in the united states? >> no, we don't have two states in the united states. we do have separation between red and blue states and a polarization of the constituents brought about by the massive infusion of money. much of which is spent on negative advertisement. the thing about which i'm most concerned, though, is the growing separation in america between the richest americans and the poorest americans. and also, basic negative attitude toward people who are different from us. >> here with reaction, fox news political analyst juan williams and colonel west is with us. colonel, demographically, we always break down demographics in elections. you have the black america votes 96% democratic. you see high profile cases, o.j. simpson, more recently the zimmerman case. very different reactions along racial lines. why do you think that is, sir? >>

but, i've got to tell you, when george zimmerman said on that hannity interview, as i said, that it was god's plan, you know, that really is a sour note. when you look at the evidence, like the fact that the gun was holstered inside his waistband, behind him, the gun is black. the holster is black. it's a dark night. and supposedly, trayvon martin saw it and reached for it. which seems almost a physical impossibility to me. >> but they really haven't -- you know, you've noted that, and i think it's a great observation. they really haven't made note of that in the trial, at least thus far. >> i hope the operative word is "yet." >> three great analyses, thank you so much for being here. lisa bloom, alex ferrer and myrna white. >>> coming up, what happened in the final moments of that asiana flight that happened in san francisco's airport. it's rare to hear experts talking about this so early, but the words on everyone's lips seem to be "pilot error." >>> also, you can just imagine what eliot spitzer was thinking, hey, if anthony weiner can be a front-runner by running for mayor of new yor

with all of the evidence that they have, arguing that george zimmerman acted with a depraved mind, that he set out to get trayvon martin. using the hannitynterview in particular where george zimmerman said this killing was god's plan and he had no regret. ultimately he denied the motion for directed verdict and there is both direct and circumstantial evidence for this case to go to the jury. a jury will be deciding this case, ed. >> ladies and gentlemen, i know you've been sitting back there for a long time. >> well, the prosecution focused on the ill will of george zimmerman and the intent, which i thought was a very compelling case. but what's also interesting was the judge, you showed, had absolutely no emotion in any of this. i mean, this was some real tight courtroom operation that was taking place right here, almost surgically put together by both teams and the way they presented it. lisa, who was impressive? >> listen, i think both sides are impressive. there's some really outstanding lawyering going on in this courtroom, instructive for anybody interested in the law or law students. this is something that happens at the end of ev

george zimmerman's mind. >> i've always been confused why there's two pieces of videotape that the prosecution has used, essentially two sort of faux prosecutors interrogating zimmerman. one is sean hannity. they used him essentially to question george zimmerman and point out things he said that seems absurd. sort of use that to paint him as generally a liar, but the piece of video i thought he used a bit, was the interview with chris is a runno and doris singleton. in that interview it was asked the most obvious question, number one you were scared of a person. you had a gun, did you reach for your gun? do you go around a dark corner knowing you're armed with your gun in your holster? i've never understood wood the prosecution didn't try to explore that more, where was the gun? how did the fight take place? did he see it at all? i was surprised they never explored that or created a theory. >>> hold it there for the moment. we're going to take a belief break, but we'll be back with much more on today's closing arguments in the trial of george zimmerman, stay with us. all this produce from walmart and secretly served it up in the heart of peach country. it's a fresh-over. we want you to e
