me now, former prosecutor faith jenkins, msnbc legal analyst lisa bloom, and defense attorney ken padowitz. faith, john good's testimony, what does it mean for george zimmerman's claim of self-defense and therefore justifiable homicide? >> well, this was a prosecution witness, first of all, remember. they called him first. they already knew what he was going to say. he has already been deposed. so they knew he was going to come in and be the only witness to say that he saw what he believed now to be trayvon martin on top of george zimmerman and making downward motions towards him. now, for the defense, this is huge because they are alleging self-defense. that zimmerman had to shoot trayvon. he had no other choice but to shoot him to save his life. so this supports their theory of the case. this was a very good witness for them today. >> let me go to you, ken. when you heard good's testimony, do you feel as faith said that he established that george zimmerman had no choice but to kill trayvon martin? >> this was a tremendous day for the defense. i mean, remember, they don't have to prove th

former prosecutor faith jenkins, msnbc legal analyst lisa bloom, and florida defense attorney ken padowitz. thank you all for being here. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> ken, you've made many opening arguments. what is your reaction to today's openings? >> well, i have to say, after 35 first degree murder trials i've handled here in the state of florida, i would describe the prosecutor's opening as simply brilliant. i thought it was a fantastic use of bringing the jury, the six women sitting there listening to this prosecutor, out of that courtroom and to the scene of the crime. he used, this prosecutor, the words of george zimmerman to do this. and it was shocking, yes, but i think it was very effective in bringing them to that crime scene, bringing them to the time period when this 17-year-old was shot and killed. and i think he did it very, very effectively. he described in great detail, using sights and sounds and smells, to bring that jury out of that courtroom, that cold, sterile environment, and to that scene of that horrific murder. and i think he did a great job in paint

back with me are faith jenkins, lisa bloom and ken padowitz.y does the prosecution want to hear these past police calls? >> they're arguing this goes directly to george zimmerman's state of mind the night he shot and killed trayvon martin. here is why. trayvon martin was walking alone on that night. george zimmerman calls the police and refers to him as these a-holes, more than one person. an expletive punks, more than one person. he has this attitude towards trayvon as if he is walking with a group of people when it is just him by himself. so he has grouped trayvon and has an attitude toward him based on his past experiences of seeing people who he thinks does not belong in his neighborhood and who he thinks are suspicious. that's why the prosecutor is saying this is directly relevant to show his state of mind that he had increased frustration. and it's part of the reason why he decided to follow trayvon, because he did not want yet another one to get away. >> now, he said, we've heard on tapes, "they always getaway", they being others i guess
