>>> i'm john king. this is cnn special live coverage in the verdict watch of the trial of george zimmerman. was it murder, manslaughter or self-defense? after 14 days of testimony, slide shows, witnesses, theatrics, and even a little courtroom bickering, the case is in the jury's hands with three choices in front of them: second-degree murder, manslaughter or not guilty. their first decision, they decided to sleep on it. they've been back now for several hours today, and every legal expert in the land says you can never predict what a jury will do. when you take a look at these high-profile cases, you can understand. it took the jodi arias jury 15 hours to convict her in the first-degree murder of her boyfriend, travis alexander. in the casey anthony trial, it took 10-plus hours to convict her in the death of her daughter. conrad murray, it took nine hours to convict him in the death of michael jackson. and scott peterson, it took 7 days to convict him of the murder of his wife. there are just six days

. >> john king, back to you. >> great conversation, don, appreciate it. and just to button up on that at the end of the press sectary jay carney said the president has no plan -- no plan -- to issue a statement if there is a verdict. >>> coming up a cnn report that's getting a lot of buzz. a look at the african-american women on the george zimmerman defense team and their thoughts on this case. that's next. [ nurse ] i'm a hospice nurse. britta olsen is my patient. i spend long hours with her checking her heart rate, administering her medication, and just making her comfortable. one night britta told me about a tradition in denmark, "when a person dies," she said, "someone must open the window so the soul can depart." i smiled and squeezed her hand.

you'll be here later speaking with john king.ght be unaccounted for. now we're hearing from the mayor in the press conference all 307 people have been accounted for, and of course two deaths. that's it for me, john king is going to pick up coverage here in washington. >> thank you. i'm john king in washington. top of the hour now. 8:00 p.m. in san francisco. welcome to our viewers in the was around the world. let's update you on breaking news right now. as don noted two people confirmed dead after asiana flight 214 boeing 777 crash landed on the runway at san francisco international airport. you see the dramatic pictures there. that's what's left the huge plane. the tail ripped off. witnesses say the plane was landing then the back of the plane hit the ground, at the very edge of the runway. then the plane spun around. throwing aircraft parts and debris across the tarmac. >> it

let's bring in john king. as you know, there is a new push now, what, ten months or so after what occurred to try to get some answers. >> here's part of that push. we obtained this her overnight. now it's been sent officially to james -- and it says in part, from eight republican lawmakers. he led this effort. chaff either is in the house, lindsey graham, eight republicans in all signed it, and they say this. we appear to be no closer than knowing who was responsible, this is simply unacceptable. wolf, there's a great of frustration. the republicans are taking this public. but on this point, we talked to them privately, there is a great of frustration, you can see the photographs of five men at the scene, survey unions pictures at the u.s. mission in benghazi, the fbi asking for information. if you talk inside the administration, they will acknowledge either incompetent or unwillingness to help on behalf of the libyan authorities. the fbi says it's frustrated the investigation, but if you can't build a case, e

also sean barry and john king. those three young men picked up mr. byrd in jasper, texas, in a june day in 1998. they beat him nearly to death. they tortured him. urinated on him. they used a chain to tie him to the rear bumper of their pickup truck. they put the chain around his ankles and they started driving with him dragging behind the truck on this country road. he was alive when they tied him to the truck then they drove down that road for three miles. and that was how james byrd jr. died in jasper, texas. the forensic evidence, you see it circled there in spray paint and marked there on the side of the road. the forensic evidence of james byrd's death stretched for three miles down that road. now, the men who killed james byrd were covered in white supremacist and neonazi tattoos. including one of the suspects having a tattoo that showed a black man lynched hanging from a tree, as well as nazi tattoos. that defendant, john king, wrote a jailhouse letter to his co-defendant, lawrence brewer, a letter that was intercepted by prison authorities.

cnn's chief national correspondent john king is here with more.uncement potentially a big announcement we're seriously considering is the way that we're hearing about it. this matters to so many families here in the u.s. as well as everywhere, but it also sounds like a bit of a negotiating tactic in a strange way, john. what do you think is happening here? >> well, kate and chris, good morning. this is a negotiating tactic in two ways. first and foremost with president karzai, the president's relationship with him is deteriorating. he's unpredictable and changes his mind. the president is trying to negotiate, there have been recent negotiations whether to negotiate with the taliban. there's a debate within the pentagon, the generals are debating how many troops to leave behind and the combination. the president is serving notice to the pentagon i'm going to keep the zero option. think about the past decade, inconceivable to think there wouldn't be some u.s. residual force in afghanistan to look across the border to pakistan. for anyone who thinks

john king from a senior white house official, this is from cnn's john king, the president has been made aware of the situation, and his team will update him as new information becomes available. we'll continue to stay in constant contact with our federal, state, and local partners as they respond to this event. i want to get back now to robert francis who is a former ntsb vice chairman and an investigator. so, as they are preparing for this press conference right now, take us behind closed doors. what are they preparing for now? what are they doing before they come out and speak to the public about what they know? >> well, they're getting their team ready to -- redady to leav, and there are certain people on call, on duty, as it were and when there's an accident. those people will check in with the board and they'll get their team composed. and then i would assume usually it means the team going to hangar six at national airport. and flying out to the accident site in either an faa or perhaps a coast guard aircraft. >> and so at this point it's supposed to be at the bottom of the hour,

. >> let's bring in john king. what do you make of this feud going on?mean as a prelude to 2016 in. >> it's a lot of fun. you have two of the most colorful and combative figures in the republican party going at it. some democrats are celebrating saying here go the 2016 republicans already into the mud pit. just five years ago senators name obama, clinton, biden were going at it pretty good too. sometimes this can impact a party negnegatively. the republicans are out of party. that are not only having debates about who should lead the party but what the party is about. they have been fighting about the nsa surveillance program. rand paul doesn't like that program. he thinks it's too much government, too much big brother. part of it is personal. part of it is philosophy. you get a big debate like this when a party is out of power. look at this, paul ryan does a lot better than rand paul or chris chris christ chris christie. >> paul ryan was the vice president shl nominee even though they lost. he's been at the fore front of the big budget battles. he is be

bush with our chief nar correspondent john king to break it down. interview robyn curnow was able to get with george w. bush and the first lady. let's listen to a little bit of that. >> reporter: don't want to criticize the obama administration, is that something that you've really made a decision not to do? >> i think it's a hard job. he's got plenty on his agenda and it's difficult, and a former president doesn't need to make it harder. >> reporter: in the polls you -- >> could care less. >> reporter: you don't care? >> no. >> reporter: whether people think you're favorable or unfavorable? >> the only time i really care was on election day. >> it's pretty candid. bush has the luxury now of not needing to care about where the polls are in terms of his favorability but what do you think of that and why do you think he has avoided the spotlight so much to this point since leaving office? >> good morning, the comment about the polls is true and then not so true. why has he avoided the spotlight because he genuinely believes the president of the united

john king will be joining us to break all that >>> plus have to see this video the mother of two caughtwhat's she doing? trying to hire a hitman to kill her husband and giggling about it. guess what? not laughing anymore. the would be hitman a cop, and she's now in jail. >>> check out this video a car plows into the gas station, the guy dives out of the way just in time but he catches fire, he stop, drop and rolled and survived. much more ahead on his flight ning story of sur vile. >>> first up that's some story, what we are seeing and hearing from the cleveland three. kidnapped separately, held together for over a decade until they were rescued just months ago from a house of horrors. overnigh

who knows a lot about boeing jets, a former boeing aviation safety engineer and spoke with cnn's john king. >> let's start with the plane. the boeing 777. you look at the pictures and see it hit close to the edge of the water on the runway, what does that tell you? >> it tells me, if nothing else, the approach was more shallow than it should have been. they landed or the touchdown point was far short of where they landed. it should never have come close to hitting the seawall at the edge of the runway like that. >> at that point, how fast is a plane typically traveling and number two, we all get used to technology on airplanes, is the computer flying the plane or the pilot? >> typically the pilot is hand flying the plane right at the approach there. this was a day, a relatively good weather day. they didn't have to have a full auto on system. even when you have auto-on systems right before touchdown you will have the pilots under positive control of the aircraft. as far as why it hit the way it did or rather how fast it was, it depends on the weight of the aircraft and other factors. again

barack obama john kerry john king as well. it's ridiculous. president obama's plans to send arms to the rebels has sparked criticism from lawmakers that home senator rand paul claims the y. tax is playing a dangerous game of double standards over syria and you can hear what he has to say that our take dot com. the birthplace of the arab spring is once again engulfed by private testers thousands clashed with police interviews here security forces used a gas to try and disperse the crowd angered by the assassination of a popular opposition leader mohamed brahmi was gunned down in front of his home by two unknown gunmen local reporter forty santi has more from china this. and there were hundreds and hundreds of solutions to our side of the main how you can now down to miss the police used tear gas spears crowds multiple times as small when jesu's were gathered in front of the ministry of interior as well and police used tear gas right up to disperse the crowd but then there were different crowds in different places and we were desperate to get ou

. >> our chief national correspondent john king is joining us right now. , so what's in the deal? >> wolf, what's immediately in the deal are votes. as you talked about seven of the president's nominees for federal agencies. these are not judges, these are not lifetime appointments, a couple cabinet picks and people to head the government agencies like the new consumer protection bureau. some republicans held them up some because they disagreed wtd person, some because of other things. this means the president will get votes as soon as today on five of the seven in dispute. two others are part of the administration has agreed to pull back and send up for new nominations. immediately the president's going to get most of his picks. the bigger question is, is this deal going to start a, i'll call it a period of cumbaya, that's the big question -- >> so what were the republicans threatening to do had there been no deal? >> the republicans had been saying if senator reid went forward with the so-called nuclear option, which is essentially would minimize almost d

here is what john king wrote.se identified, a person of high interest from the hours after the september 11, 2012 attack by both u.s. and libyan officials, ahmed abu khattalah. in a recent conversation with arwa damon, he acknowledged being at the diplomatic mission after the attack but denied involvement. in that conversation, he told cnn he has not been questioned by either libyan authorities or the fbi. we are told arwa damon talked to him for two hours, and he is one of the people put on the pictures put out by the fbi. let's bring in the panel. pepper carlton, a.b. stoddard a and charles krauthammer. >> this is remarkable. this basically confirms what many on the right have said from the beginning, the administration isn't making effort to get to the bottom of the crimes, which is a remarkable allegation, but there's no other way to read it. this guy has not been interviewed by the fbi or the syrian -- >> libyan. >> libyan authorities of any kind? and the white house press secretary's answer to the question,

our chief national correspondent, john king, is here to explain. >> wolf, the sense of urgency with a when it comes to immigration depends largely on how you map it. what do i mean by that? take a look. here's the presidential race in 2012, and in some ways, nationally, this is a no-brainer. look at the states where the latino vote matters, the swing states of presidential politics, latino population growing -- nevada, colorado and new mexico, florida, just to name four. i could name more. all blue, all carried by president obama, because he won re-election, all part of this national dynamic that is so troubling to republicans in presidential politics. 71% of latinos for the president, only 27% for mitt romney. that an improvement even over the president's big win among latinos in 2008. so, from a national perspective, a big problem for republicans, which is why many say let's get this over with, let's get a bill to the president's desk, even if we have to give up and give him a path to citizenship. but you ever hear a politician say all politics are national? no, they say all politic

king saying, "good job, john, good job." >> and then he went on to follow you shortly with that famous "i have a dream" speech. how did it strike you hearing it that day? >> when martin luther king, jr. stood up and started speaking, and later as he continued to speak, and he got to that point where he said, "i have a dream today, a dream deeply rooted in the american dream," i looked at him. i've heard him speak so many times, and i knew then that he knew that he was getting over to the american people, and that he was preaching a great sermon. and that's what he did. he-in a good sense he took advantage of the situation. he had the largest audience he ever had. he had been to washington before, like in 1957, on may 17th, 1957, and spoke on the steps. but this audience was different. it was larger. and i think he was inspired. i think he was inspired by god almighty. i think he had been tracked down by what i call the spirit of history. and he responded. >> i have a dream that one day, even the state of mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the he
