john john to husbahis fallen father, remembering the man behind one of the iconic images of our time. captions paid for by nbc-universal television >>> good evening. all around me as far as the can see, a tattered landscape littered with the remnants of peoples lives. this is henryville, officials say it was an ef-4 tornado that struck here. this is one of the hardest hit places from the parade of punishing tornadoes that went up and down the country from the great lakes down to the gulf yesterday. all told, more than 100 reports of tornados since yesterday. that's more than we would typically see in the entire month of march. all seen in less than 48 hours. as for the death toll, as we feared when the sun came up this morning, there were more discoveries of bodies. officials now say at least 36 people have been killed, including the family of a little girl. whose own survival against the odds stands as a symbol of hope amid a back drop of despair here. we have full coverage up and down the disaster zone for you tonight. we'll begin in the town of marysville, indiana, that's where nbc's tom costello is tonight. good evening. >> reporter: hi, lester, good evening to you. and this is what marysville looks like right now. this is a town of about 1,200. a small country town in indiana. it is as you can see virtually gone. virtually every house in this community is like this. if it is standing, it is certainly not inhabitable. you mentioned the ef-4 category rating. that means winds of 175 miles per hour across this path. it is nothing but destruction. a bone-chilling sun rise here in marysville as day light revealed a devastated landscape. in nearby chelsea, the families were coming to grips with the personal toll the storm has taken. >> i can't even begin to tell you how i feel about that. that poor baby. he was only 4. >> reporter: terry and carol jackson died when their home was torn apart. also dead their 4-year-old great grandson, ripped from the arms of his mother. she is now in the hospital. survivo survivors' personal images capture the moment the storm tore thousand. >> it looked like it was rolling instead of spinning. but it was wide. >> reporter: the tornado tore the family home from the foundation. on the road into henryville, trees and homes have been stripped or destroyed. lives upended. more than a dozen people died in southern indiana. the national weather service's chief meteorologist is here. >> trying to figure out the width. >> reporter: today as the growl of chain saws replaced the roar, indiana's governor described the damage as incomprehensible. >> all the things that mere mortals can do aren't enough sometimes. >> reporter: among the harrowing stories, a 2-year-old girl found in the field. >> we put arm bachbnds on the children. >> reporter: word that the child's parents and brother were all killed. in kentucky, at least 17 people had been killed. 300 injured. >> it chokes you up. you don't flknow your family is >> reporter: four wur killed in west liberty alone. the town reeling from another deadly storm that hit 48 hours earlier. this church was over 100 years oe old. now a jumbled pile of lumber. >> holy cow. >> reporter: across the midsection, more than 100 tornados on friday from the gulf states to the great lakes. in ohio, three people died, there was barely enough time to take cover. >> we went into the bathroom and all closed the door and peeked out the window. we started to see trees coming out of the ground. >> reporter: one person also dead in alabama. the town of harvest flattened. they haven't even finished rebuilding from a tornado that hit less than ten months ago. >> we had just got in in january and moved back into the house. and getting ready to move that mobile home. it picked it up, turned it around and slammed it into the house. >> reporter: heavy damage as well in north carolina where crews are now working to restore power. as a third of the country spent the day trying to recover from a day of devastation. and heart break. we have had even more reports of bad weather today down on the south. a confirmed report of a tornado in north carolina. in georgia, one person now confirmed dead as a result of the storm. lester, it's as if a huge chunk of the country has suffered a deep, deep scar. back to you. >> tom costello, in marysville, thank you. >>> the city of west liberty, kentucky, was one of the hardest hit areas that's where we find weather channel's mike bettes tonight. good evening. >> reporter: good evening to you, lester. half mile wide tornado struck with such force, and as you can see, these buildings were reduced to rubble. this is a devastating day for this community. it's been search and rescue all day long today as this town has been on lockdown. the only people allowed in a k-9 units on horse patrol and foot patrol. going to buildings sometimes three times searching for victims that they may have not seen the first couple of times. also power crews lining the streets. there's not one single building that's gone untouched by this tornado. potentially winds greater than 135 miles per hour which would make this an ef-3 tornado. the governor has declared a state of emergency here in kentucky. it was earlier today when we spoke with the mayor. he was visibly shaken by what has happened to his town. it was a night knit community of 2,000 field and the debris is everywhere. the one death that they had here is one death too many as the mayor tells us. >> mike bettes for us, thanks. >>> it was assumed if anything in this town could stand up to a tornado it would have been the brick and steel frame henryville school. at first glance, the twisted rubble it appears it would appears it wasn't a match. but it was strong enough to protect the handful of students and adults who found themselves in a no-man's-land when the tornado came calling. when he surveys the damage to his elementary school, principal glenn rigs can't help but get emotional. >> i'm sorry. my 4 and 5-year-olds that would have been in there. >> reporter: would have been there except officials made the decision to send the 1,200 k-12 students home early. as it turned out, an hour before the tornado struck. bus driver chris spencer was about to drop off the last student when the sky darkened. >> i knew she lived in a mobile home. we came to the school. got her in the safety. >> reporter: a handful of other students were forced to come back too including 14-year-old preston perry. moments after he made it back to school, the bus he had been on became a flying projectile. what were people saying, what were they doing? >> they were screaming and saying get down, it's here. and then the ceiling fell in on a couple of us. i thought that we were all going to die. >> reporter: principal rigs meantime and younger students and faculty huddled in an interior office. >> when we were in there when the first vacuum came, it was just -- i mean, literally it felt like your skin was going to pull off the body. >> reporter: that was before it hit? >> that was before it hit. once it hit, then all this crashing was what we were hearing. >> reporter: amazingly no one was hurt. so this is the way you came out? outside unrecognizable jumble. >> i thought this cannot be real. and my god, it is. it is. >> the seats. >> reporter: today, 6-year-old madelyn evans pointed out to her mom what's left of the bus that did manage to get her and several of her classmates home ahead of the tornado. >> truly it's a miracle that those kids came out alive. >> reporter: she's not the only grateful one. you saw your bus, what were your thoughts? >> that i was glad that i wasn't sitting on it because nobody would have survived it. >> reporter: school officials say there are no other places that can easily accommodate all the students displaced by the disaster, but they acknowledge a plan and decision will have to be reached soon. now, let's talk about the storms, weather channel meteorologist jim cantore is joining me here in henryville. why so many, jim? >> well, it's the pattern that we have. we have the same jet stream that was in place last year when we had thesy severe weather. we have an upper low to the northwest of all this action. that allows the cold air to move over the warm, moist air. as warm air comes north there's nothing to modify it. like taking a lid off the boiling pot of water. i want goes in a big hurry here. the 150 mile per hour jet stream creates a large scale area of tornado destruction. as you can see here, we're definitely looking at lot of tornadoes. >> then people wonder if it's analan early start to the season. >> there's no reason to think that april, may and june won't be equally as active and perhaps more. we are in for a long year. >> thank you, jim cantore. >>> i want to turn to other news. late word of an apology from limbaugh to the student caught up in the birth control battle. it landed him in the middle of a firestorm leaving several of the advertisers to pull their ads from his show. part of the statement posted on limbaugh's website tonight reads my choice of words was not the best and in the intent to be humorous, i created a national stir. i sincerely apologize to ms. fluke for the insulting word choices. >>> and strovoters are having t say in the washington caucuses and the candidates are campaigning in 72 hours when 11 states will be up for grabs. for the latest on all this, we want to bring in "meet the press" moderator david gregory. david, let me first get your thoughts on the limbaugh apology. was it beginning to affect the republican race in some way? >> i don't think the republicans are happy to have this fight when it came to rush limbaugh's comments. i think there's a lot of conservatives whether it's rick santorum or gingrich or others, although romney has hedged on this, who are happy to energize this debate by talk of religious freedom being infringed upon by president obama. it's resonating on some voters. but what limbaugh did in going after this georgetown law student was to take it to a much more offensive level which is why i think he apologized if you read the statement. i think there are a lot of republicans who are worried this is a, a fight that the republicans should not be having right now over contraception of all things which is a pretty much a settled matter in terms of access for women. not only is birth control but a matter of women's health, but he escalated it to the degree and there are women voters on the democratic side who are energized by this. >> let me get your thoughts on super tuesday. ohio is considered the big prize, but how important is it for santorum and romney to create some distance with ohio being key to that? >> it's a general election battle ground and if you're mitt romney you want to create some momentum after winning in michigan and arizona. if he can turn around and say to the party, i won both ohio and florida, he might get a long way toward getting the party to coalescing around him. on the other side, if it's santorum, he has an opportunity. air is getting out of the balloon, but if he can win ohio he's back in the hunt. >> david gregory, thanks. a program note, facing a pivotal day on super tuesday, newt gingrich will be among david's gues guests sunday morning on "meet the press." >>> in ohio today, hundreds of people lined the street to honor one of the teenagers killed in a shooting at the local high school earlier this week. 16-year-old daniel parmenter was laid to rest, the first of three planned funerals. >>> still ahead, as "nbc nightly news" continues from henryville, indiana, b.p.'s millions. word of major deal for victims of the gulf oil spill. >>> and also, are american troops serving overseas being ripped off while making the rare call to loved ones back home? our nbc news investigation is still ahead. 50s. my dad and grandfather spent their whole careers here.

john and tony. you both agree that the criminal justice system doesn't work, particularly for poor people in the criminal justice system. what would you do to improve it? we'll start with you first, john. what would you improve? this is an imperfect society that we have. we know that. what can we do to improve it? >> gee. you know, i don't know anything about the criminal justice system. but i think you need to start out in, you know -- we need to have income redistribution in the country. i mean, it's crazy. and if you do that, you know, in an important way, then a lot of these problems are just going to get fixed by themselves. they're fundamentally economic problems. we used to have 90% taxation of, you know, very high income individuals. we don't do that anymore. i meek, god, dividends and capital gains are taxed at 15%. that's just incredible. it's an incredibl incredible st. -- steal. so that's what i would say. >> well, it's a subject matter that's ripe for hours of discussion. but very quickly, we litigate in the criminal form too many times of actions and behaviors. so the first thing is, take out all the so-called victimless crimes, all the so-called drug or drug-related cases. can you place them in medical forums or other social forums. secondly, mandatory sentences have to go out. thirdly, grand jury has to go out. fourthly, the informant system has to be eliminated. the police powers, which are ever increasing, have to be at least dropped or minimized. fourth amendment, fifth amendment, first amendment rights have to be given more strength than they have, more resources for the defense because, yes, public defenders and good lawyers who are on the panels, they are defending most of the people who are accused. and they lack the resources because ultimately prosecution with unlimited resources and defense with very, very limited resources. the deeper issues are where the jurors come from and how they're selected, whether or not judges are curtailing due process in court. reform, reform, reform. and it can only come from the inside, from us, the lawyers. from the judicial process. and from those activists who are interested in reforming the system. but we are in grave crises now because the judiciary has been swallowed by the executive and the balance of powers is sad lay miss. [applause] >> we're going to have to bring the panel to a close in a few minutes. we were just asked if there are any closing thoughts that you have for the audience, before we close it. >> i keep following tony. it's not fair. you know, the system is only as good as the people who are operating within it. and it's only as good as how the resources available to it can be used. and that's not an easy fix. that's a long-time issue. and i don't have a good answer for that attorney i am hopeful we can try in some manner to level the playing field a little more, at least so that the attorneys in my fictional world have it a little easier. but more important, you know, i have it easy. i write stories. we met the gentleman who is on death row for a long time. you hope at the very least you can avoid serious, serious mistakes. and allocating the resources to make sure those mistakes don't happy think is a very important thing. >> my view, be more activistic, have more courage, where there's manifest, protest it. everyone should choose an issue. everyone then should be behind that issue and strive for change. the first thing is identify. and then to demonstrate. and then to do actions. and maybe, you know, i'm old and i'm thinking how the 1960's sought to reform things like war and racism, and they took it to the streets, and they cried out loud, and they demonstrated, chanted, boycotted tax. we have to wake up! we're in a slumber because life is fat in the united states. and we're willing to surrender constitutional rights for our own, you know, image of self-protection. and terrorism abounds. and isn't the police force, you know, wonderful to protect us? that's all era. and what we have to do is point at what is wrong and seek in every fashion or address it within the circle of your own ability to communicate. [applause] >> my book is called "lust for justice" and the word lust imply a certain passion. i think that what is missing over the decades as i have lived is exactly what tony is saying. the dissident voice has become either silent or is yawning itself to sleep. and we can all do something about that. i wrote this book because i wanted tony's dissident voice to be heard. i wanted the art that i did of him showing his passion and his aliveness to be seen. i thought the two of them together gave a bigger picture than just one alone. and we're all capable of in some way voicing our passion, voicing our lust for the injustices that we are all subject to. and we are all subject to the law. and, therefore, it's important to get this terrible imbalance at least started pointing in the right direction. [applause] >> john? last word. >> ok. i'm not going to say anything about social justice. i have a thought for you. go out and rent the movie "to kill a mockingbird." it is a really, really good movie. and it's a really sophisticated movie. you know, the script, you know, you can't get any better. the producer, the performances are wonderful. every bit of that movie -- when you look at it, try to look, you know, into the actual scenes what they're doing. it's fascinating. it's all shot on a sound stage. this movie is made at the same time that they're making -- what was that huge thing in the sand? oh, "lawrence of arabia." right? [laughing] the same time they're shooting "to kill a mockingbird." they're doing it all on the sound stage. there's a reason for that. they're doing it in black and white. you know how they had to push to get that through the studio, to make a black and white film when everybody wants color? they finally invented technicolor and all of this crap and these guys say they want to

john -- john is actually a descendant of the first chief justice of the u.s. supreme court. paulette frankl, "lust for justice," tony serra, and sheldon siegal. so before we take a break, i do have a surprise. a few years ago, i guess six or seven years ago, i met an amazing artist. i was visiting his home. and he had created this wonderful sculpture. i immediately recognized it as being clarence. it turned out that he had created a number of just amazing sculptures of trial lawyers. and he went on to do one of clara fults, the first woman attorney in california and became the leader of the public defender movement. and just by happenstance, he called me and had this idea of encapsulating one of the greatest trial attorneys of our times. so, bill? is he here? this is not a magistrate. [laughing] -- not a magic trick. >> i've never met tony serra, so i have to make use of the internet to get a sense of who he was and the imagery. what clearly came over was his passion for justice. and in some cases almost a rage for justice. and initially when i started the imagery with the clay, i tried to show this passion for justice, this rage. but then i had a conversation with jeff about tony serra. and another element came out, his great heart, his deep generosity, and his respect for those he defended. so i've tried to incorporate both of these things in this piece. and i depicted him as i would see him making his plea to the jury on behalf of his client. i hope tony likes it. [laughing] [applause] >> we knew this would be tremendously embarrassing to tony, because tony, you know, doesn't like to be recognized in any way. but the reason we did this, tony -- and i want to thank the trial lawyers association or the northern california criminal trial lawyers association as well as stuart hanlon. we're going to also have an image of you -- a sculpture of you, in our trial room to help inspire the next generation of attorneys. but this one is yours. [applause] so thank you very much to all of our panelists. we're going to take a five-minute break and then come back with our next p >> the second panel. this panel is going to be incredible. it really is. we have a superstar panel and, of course, a superstar moderator that i'm very honored to introduce, and that's judge lee baxter. and judge lee baxter is retired now from the bench, although you would never know it. and she's enjoying a new career as a photographer, is a great photographer. but during the time that she was on the bench in san francisco, we had the opportunity to try cases in her court. and she was somebody who represented fairness to everyone. and i think some of the ideals that we talked about in the last panel really were embodied by the way that she ran her court. and at the end of the day it was always about making sure that whoever appeared in her court and before the court walked out of there feeling that they had their case heard and their concerns heard. so, again, judge lee baxter, retired from the san francisco superior court bench. [applause] >> thank you for your kind words. i have been away for a while, but i certainly enjoyed my time on the bench, particularly at the hall of justice. i love the community of attorneys there and the community of judges. i'm glad to be back today. i'm also very delighted and honored to be participating in our fabulous panel which i will introduce you to in just a few minutes. before we begin, though, i wanted to say a quick few words about a tony serra story. i don't know if tony is still here or not. he probably is not. but i did want to tell you about this because i think it's important because it embodies something about tony that maybe you don't know. and maybe he'll watch the video of this and hear what i have to say. i was appointed to the bench in 1987, and i was assigned to a misdemeanor trial court, civil, actually. the very first trial, jury trial, that they sent to me was a simple assault misdemeanor case. and when the attorneys -- when i found out who the attorneys were, i was absolutely blown away because i had a district attorney -- it was not a civil case, by the way. i had a district attorney who was very, very inexperienced. i think he had had two jury trials at that point. i had had none. and lo and behold tony serra walks into my court representing the defendant. i couldn't imagine why he was there for a simple misdemeanor assault case, but he was. and i thought, boy, this is just my luck. here i've got this famous tony serra, he's renown, he's in the press all the time, he has had a movie made about him, and i bet he's an arrogant jerk, and i get him. first trial he's going to make me look really bad. and this poor d.a., we're just going to look terrible. well, lo and behold tony serra comes in. he's a wonderful gentleman. he's gracious. he knows i've never tried a case to a jury. he knows that the d.a. has tried two cases to a jury. he guided us through this trial. he put on a fabulous show, as is his want, which was instructional and very, very interesting. he never took advantage of my inexperience or the d.a.'s experience. and by the end of the day when that trial was over -- of course, he won. but nobody on that jury would have ever suspected that i had never tried a case to a jury or that the d.a. had not had any experience, virtually, either. so i have always wanted to thank tony serra for making me look really good my first jury trial. i had thanked him all my life. and i will never forget that trial. [applause] but let's get back to the issues at hand. well, it happened again this morning. when i read "the chronicle." it seems like it's an epidemic, but maybe it just appear that way. of course i'm talking about the many allegations of police officer abuse and misconduct that we have been reading in the papers recently, along with, of course, misconduct by former governors and monetary fund honchos. but i divert. first, i think the first real scandal that broke several months ago was the theft of drugs from the police department drug lab. then we had the raiding of residential hotel rooms without search warrants. these, of course, are all allegations. we had lying on police reports. surveillance camera videos showing officers removing items from hotel rooms other than evidence that they were going to put into their report. we had drug theft by officers. we had the so-called dirty d.u.i.'s, the drunk driving setups. we've had officers selling stolen drugs. and the one that just beats all is the one of setting up a brothel. now, if i saw a movie that included all of these things in a movie, i would think, well, this is not realistic. it just doesn't happen this way. but apparently it does. so today we're going to talk about the ethics of law enforcement, prevent ago boose of power -- preventing abuse of power. i wanted to read to you a letter to the editor that i happened to run across in the chronicle the other day when i was thinking about this panel. i just want to read it to you. it's entitled "betrayal of trust in the san francisco police department." my thoughts were just those of unbelief after reading your story "new video slap for san francisco cops." it is undeniable that our rights under search and seizure laws must be protected. but cops that blow cases by violating these rights should lose their jobs and be prosecuted themselves. i hope new chief greg suhr follows through on his promises to clean up the san francisco police department that betrays the trust put in it when it pulls stunts like this. so, what happens when those we think are protecting us from criminal activity become the criminals themselves? what is the mentality that causes this to happen? how much can a police department overcome such a betrayal of trust, public trust? so we're going to explore some of these issues today with our most imminent panel, all of them experts in their field. and we are very fortunate to have them all here. let me introduce you first to stuart hanlon, at my immediate left. stuart is a defense attorney of great renown. he has over 30 years of experience, including some of the country's most high-profile cases. including cases involving police and official misconduct. next to him is our san francisco police chief, greg suhr, newly appointed to that office last month. congratulations, chief. >> thank you, your honor. [applause] >> chief suhr has surfed in the department for 30 years. and as chief he will be overseeing a department of 1,800 police officers. next we have peter herley who is now acting as police consultant. he is the former chief of police of tiburon and the former president of the california police officers association. next to mr. herley is sharon wu, the chief assistant of operations in the district attorney's office. she oversees the criminal division, including the victim witness program and the alternative dispute courts. anne irwin is an attorney in the public defender's office. ms. irwin was recently involved in several of the cases involving the videotaped evidence which resulted in the dismissal of over 90 cases. you've read about those in the newspaper. and finally, we have civil rights attorney john burress. he specializes in civil actions brought against police officers for abuse of power, brutality, and wrongful death. let me remind the audience that we will have a brief q&a at the end. if you want to ask a question, just raise your hand. you'll get a card from the usher. and you can ask your question. and if you would like to address it to a particular panel member, you can do that as. i believe we are going to have a video now. it is movie time. >> this was recorded on a cellular phone by a witness who did not want to be identified. he was pulled on to the ground, face down. there was a struggle. the officers were neck and neck. those of few feet away watched it all happened. >> this is putting cases in jeopardy. >> she is a longtime employee now suspended. she was supposed to be watching over evidence. tonight, and narcotics cop is being accused of selling drugs. the workbooks in it -- they were booked in martinez this morning. >> norman wells was a very high- ranking narcot

[ applause ] >> good evening everyone. can you hear me? make sure the sound is up all right. i guess for all intents and purposes, i'm your captain this evening. so exits are in the back and on the side here. if we loose pressure, masks will fall from the ceiling. my name is john gar trel. i'm the archivist at the afro american newspaper. i have been asked this evening to be the moderator for this illustrious panel. hopefully, not only will i learn more about the topic of study that will be discussed this evening, but you will as well. we hope that, if nothing else, you can take one thing away from this discussion tonight. what that is entirely up to you. but we don't want the words do fall on deaf ears and to not have an impact on someone this evening. and so to start, i was asked to sort of discuss the role of "the afro" and carl murphy who was the long-time publisher of "the afro" until he died, from 1922 to 1967 till he died. as an archivist, i'm going to lean on the documents. it just so happens that some researchers were in our archives and taking a look through some things, and they came across this letter. and i think it's appropriate as far as what the role "the afro" served and the role that carl murphy served in particular in the civil rights moveme

john, and john is the one that said that he actually saw the scuffle between the two other people that we interviewed said they heard the screams. they knew there was some kind of confrontation, but this guy told us that he actually saw what he said was trayvon martin on top of george zimmerman beating him, and that's when he called 9-1-1. they said zimmerman was actually saying to him please help me, please help me. he said he went upstairs and while he was calling 91 911-. by then he was too late. >> sean: he was saying if, in fact, it was george zimmerman on the bottom and zimmerman was being beaten up, does that not koco rob rate besides all the media coverage and all who speak out about it, doesn't that contradict the story? >> the sanford police made it clear that what george zimmerman told them was that he was actually get back into his suv when he said trayvon martin came around the left-hand side of him and he says that trayvon martin said do you have a problem? he said no, and then trayvon said something like well, you do now. then george zimmerman told the cops that he got punched in the nose. he hit the ground, and that's when trayvon martin jumped on top of him and slammed his head into the sidewalk and that's when he began to yell for help. i mean, that's what sanford police tell us that george zimmerman told them. >> sean: and again, just to be clear about this, because this is a really important point, as far as we know at this point, this would be the only eyewitness that we know in this case? >> that we know of that has actually come forward on this case, not the only eyewitness. the only eyewitness that says he saw trayvon martin on top of george zimmerman. we've interviewed other witnesses who have said that screaming on the tape was not george zimmerman, it was trayvon martin. that's what all the other witnesses have said. >> sean: joe, i know you're a friend and you've been on other tv shows. the implication and the allegation by many that this was case of racial profiling, that some have suggested this is racially motivated, this is somebody you know, somebody that's your friend. a, have you phone with him, and what has he told you? >> yes, i have spoken to him. i spoke with george earlier today, and i actually got the details of what happened after that confrontation that was reported in the paper today. that's what he told me is the reason why he's not in jail right now. i wish i could tell you what he told me and what the investigation has turned up. that's information that's not coming out until the grand jury convenes if there is a grand jury. the frustration for george and for everyone who's involved with this is that there hasn't been enough information out there to get a clear picture of what happened, and the biggest missing picture is what happened from the time george said okay after being told that he didn't have to follow trayvon martin to the time that someone saw trayvon on top of george and heard the gun go off. >> is there an answer to that, joe? because the one thing that struck me as i listened to that tape and they said no, no, no, we don't need you to do that. i'm just trying to put myself in that position. assuming what he's saying, that this area had been hit particularly hard with crime recently. for whatever reason he saw somebody he didn't recognize in the neighborhood, he called 9-1-1. he told them to do that. is there an answer to that question, why he followed when they said don't? >> no, there's not an answer to that question because we don't know for sure that he actually followed him. >> hang on, hang on. you hear him running, and then you hear the -- the dispatcher telling him after asking if he was following him that he said you don't have to do that. george responded okay. so we don't know if george was following trayvon after that, and the information that has come out since today says he was returning to his vehicle when he was confronted by vai von. >> you've heard about the new black panther party, i'm sure you probably know that apparently spike lee has sent out the address of your friend. you know other comments that have been made by reverend jackson and reverend al sharpton and some others in the case. you've known him for how long a period of time? >> about six years now. i've known him ever since he started dating his wife. >> sean: we've also gotten reports that not only himself, was he a minority, had minority family members, but that he also due torred and he and his wife would tutored african-american kids, minority kids for free on the weekend. is that true? >> that is true. george would help anybody regardless of race, creed or color. >> sean: what do you make of the allegations that this is a racial incident? >> because of the history of the sanford police department in particular and the early characterizations that george is white. that's going to inflame anyone as we continue to see those pictures of trayvon as a young child, and i for one will tell you that if i didn't know george because of the history of the sanford police department that i am familiar with, i would have been screaming for an arrest along with everyone else, but i do know george zimmerman and i know he he's not a racist, and i know what he's told me, and i know what the evidence is. until the evidence comes out, we're not going to be able to start turning the corner. what we're seeing now which expected to happen because it's taken so long to get information out is that whatever information is put out there is being discredited because it does not put trayvon in a good light. >> sean: i said from day one there's a rush to judgment and i can see it in the media. we'll discuss this in the next segment and i think maybe now that more information has come out, people might be a little more responsible, especially in the media. shannon, one last question for you. did the police, shannon, know that this eyewitness existed, that someone corroborated the story? did they -- they knew this from the beginning because that would answer a question maybe why an arrest was not made. >> yes, they did. according to john, john told us he talked to the police because he said he actually saw a picture that the police showed him of george zimmerman and said was this the guy, so according to john, yes, he had spoken to the police which would speak to kind of somebody backing up what george zimmerman had told them originally. >> sean: all right, shannon. great reporting. thank you for being with us. joe, thank you so much for your time. appreciate it. coming up next, we're going to continue to follow the developments out of florida. up next, we examine how the media has been reporting on the death of trayvon martin and then later, it is our next installment of the real obama tonight as we continue to vet the president. we examine the implications that president obama would bring to the nation if, in fact, he was elected for a second term. that and newt gingrich coming up tonight on hannity. >> sean: welcome back tonight to hannity as we continue covering the developing story out of florida and the death of
