this special prosecutor is from jacksonville, in fact.inly can bring in jurors from other places. i don't think that there is going to be any person in florida that hasn't heard about this case. this is an international story at this point, brooke, but when i was a prosecutor i sort of thought about the flipside. when you handle a high-profile case or a celebrity case you don't necessarily want a juror that hasn't heard of the celebrity, hasn't heard of the case because that's a juror that's sort of out of touch, and a juror that's been under a rock somewhere. >> that's interesting. >> so i think the goal is not necessarily to find someone that's never heard about this case, but rather a person that has heard about the case and yet can still be fair and impartial. i can tell you from my years of experience trying cases that is a real possibility. we find jurors all of the time in their communities, even jurors who have heard about particular crimes. >> that is so interesting. finding a juror with just the right sort of balance in these ca

where zimmerman is tonight, behind bars in jacksonville. the attorney that has been signed on as of this afternoon, marco mara in orlando was scheduled to have a 7:00 news conference or short statement about his now involvement in the case. we are not sure exactly what was being said here but the city of sanford, the city manager, the mayor, just wrapping up moments ago a news conference a short way from here downtown sanford. pleading for everybody to let the healing begin. move past this ugly chapter and now it's in the hands of the justice department here in seminole county. he is under arrest, george zimmerman, and, again, charged second degree murder in this case, clearly, most importantly for the special prosecutor, florida's very controversial stand your ground law is not supported by the evidence in this case. >> shepard: phil, obviously an emotionally charged case and set of circumstances for people there. sadly, it's become co-opted by people of political stripes on both sides. there were concerns there about what would happen if

today we spoke with special prosecutor's office out of jacksonville. we had been working over the weekend and diligently trying to set up a meeting between mr. zimmerman and the special prosecutor's office. we heard today that george had contacted the prosecutor's oofs directly. one of the things every defense attorney tells his client is, won't talk to the prosecutor, don't talk to the cops, don't talk to anybody until we get control of the situation, and do it through counsel. we were a bit astonished. they told us what we thought, we are not talking to a potential criminal, potential suspect, without counsel. we're just not going to do it. and they told him that. he then called back after some conversation with us and said that's not a problem. i don't really have any attorneys any more. those guys were just my legal advisors. >> his former defense team also said they had no idea, no idea, zimmerman was going to start his own defense website yesterday. >> mr. sonner was accompanied to the bank by mr. zimmerman's father, for the purpose of setting up
