>> well, i think bernie de la rionda sit self points home for this jury. there are clear in his opinion, repeated lies by george zimmerman and he played zimmerman's own words throughout police interviews and throughout statements he had given regarding what exactly he was doing, where exactly he was, and then in dramatic fashion, bernie de la rionda brought up the stuffed pillow mannequin that beth -- both attorneys used yesterday that rivetted the jury, the dummy representing zimmerman and trying to contradict his story or support his story as to what he claims happened, and bernie de la rionda straddling the dumby, basically revealing how is george zimmerman going to pull out his gun if trayvon martin truly has his legs and thighs around his torso. wouldn't be able to reach there. and bernly de la rionda making the jury question whether george zimmerman, number one, was truly following trayvon martin longer than he admitted to police, and also whether he actually pulled out his pistol long before he says he ultimately did. bernie dela ron darks the lead

they are on point, they don't miss a thing, for the most part. and bernie de laionda really did come back. i'm not sure if it was re, re, re, which direct it was but he came back and he was able to nail down a few critical, critical points when it came to this investigator. >> i've said for a long time that trials are not linear processes. you have a good day, you have a bad day, you have to wait until it's all over. let me give you an example how astute bernie de la rionda was. he goes to his investigator and he says did you ask those questions before dna? did you ask those questions before an m.e. report? all showing that he gave a questionable inquiry. nobody ever does on the first few days of an investigation. you never have your dna back. you never have your m.e. report back. but he made it sound like that based on that background that the investigator didn't get it all done and hence that's why he came to his conclusions. >> listen to some of this questioning live in court when it came to what this investigator, chris serino, thought about the young man tha

and bernie de la rhonda pointed out that detective serino has not pointed out all the evidence. >> trayvon martin's parents are in the courtroom today. how are they doing thus far? are they confident with the prosecution's case thus far? >> they're confident with the prosecution's case. an emotionally toiling time for them, to have to hear their child scream for help. they're in pain. hearing your child scream for help and not being able to help him. >> i just want to go back to your testimony. there was a lot of talk, perhaps their testimony, because it was, in a lot of people's opinions, clearly not your, so favorable to the defense that this was some sort of payback for the difficulties between the law enforcement and the prosecution? >> you know, i didn't perceive it that way. i think that's all pure speculation. and i think that we are going to see the prosecution bring this tangled web of lies home during the closing. >> you talk about a tangled web of lies, but that's not what the police themselves were saying, the police who were investigating this. i mean, in cross-examination, by

what could prosecutor de la rionda point to before the jury today that showed that kind of malicious nt? >> well, it was really interesting. prosecutor de la rionda really used george zimmerman's own statements as an outline for his closing argument. he used statements from zimmerman to police in this police walk through as well as on the night of the shootinging. and he also used zimmerman's call to police when he spotted trayvon martin. he had the jury listen to george zimmerman say several times -- use the word "a-holes" and "effing punks" and say the people he was talking about, those a-holes after he had shot trayvon martin he said there were people victimizing his neighborhood. this is, of course, after the shooting so the prosecutor really tried to use zimmerman's own words against him and spent a lot of time letting the jury listen to him and letting him almost say the case for himself and almost convict himself in his own words. >> suarez: tomorrow we'll hear the defense's final argument. tell us about the thrust of their case. the same two principals: trayvon martin and geor

>> reporter: de la rionda using power points. this foam mannequin and zimmerman's own words to try to convince the jury that zimmerman murdered trayvon martin for the way he looked. >> he automatically assumed that trayvon martin was a criminal. >> reporter: and again today jurors shown pictures of martin's body. >> this is one of the last photos that will ever be taken of trayvon martin. and that is true because of the actions of one individual, the man before you, the defendant, george zimmerman. >> reporter: one juror turned away. another seemed to nod in agreement as de la rionda ripped into zimmerman's credibility. >> do you believe that there is an innocent man sitting over there right now? >> throughout zimmerman stared blankly, his lawyer's chair swivelled towards the prosecutor. his pointed straight ahead. barely moving until this moment. >> the man before you, george zimmerman, the man who was guilty of second degree murder. >> reporter: diane, you saw zimmerman looking almost detached. his attorney tells me that he is

de la rionda pointing out that addresses on townhouses were quite visible, yet zimmerman with police claimed he didn't see any. the prosecutor also pointed out that when police first asked zimmerman what led up to the shooting, h reply was about a lot of previous crimes and why zimmerman started neighborhood watch. >> you recall hearing that in terms of investigator singleton asking him, the defendant, about what was going on and he's stating, as he stated there, that they always get away? >> yes, sir. >> do you recall that? >> yes. >> didn't he say that to the nonemergency operator also, but he used more colorful language, pardon my language he used the. [bleep] always get away, correct? >> correct. >> and those words were uttered within minutes of the actual shooting, weren't they? >> yes, they were. >> reporter: zimmerman claims he was being pummeled 25 to 30 times by trayvon martin leading up to the gunshot, but bernie de la rionda did ask serino was there any evidence of any blood -- zimmerman's blood on trayvon martin's hands? the answer was no who. jenna: that's what we saw at

at one point mocking bernie de la rionda. marcia, how would you characterize mark o'mara's approach? >> i understand his approach and he's wisely trying to bleed as much of the drama, as much of the emotional drama out of the case as he possibly can because the emotional drama does not work for his side. it works for trayvon's side. and so he's going to adopt this very intellectual air, this very relaxed, calm, rational demeanor in order to appeal to a very calm sense and try to steer them away from the memory of the fact that a young boy was killed here. and, you know, i give him some credit for doing that. on the other hand, there were some things i thought he tid that really went over the top. for example, the whole bit with concrete, didn't impress me. and saying that it was disgusting to say that that was not a deadly weapon i thought was a over the top. you know, the concrete is there and trayvon wasn't carrying it and he didn't put a loaded piece of concrete in his pocket and chase down george zimmerman. i thought that

de la rionda's presentation. at one point there was only one or two jurors taking notes. the rest of them were sitting, listening attentively. also, we can tell you that george zimmerman during the course of all that, for the most part in the course of this trial, he has been fairly stoic, unemotional, at times expressionless even. there was one point during that two hour, 15-minute presentation where he was looking down. he hung his head as well. but for the most part he was again today fairly stoic. but, again, the jury, of course, the six women, five of whom have children, at the end of the day, after all of the analysis, after all of the pontificating, these will be the folks who actually decide george zimmerman's fate. they seem to be, seem to be very engaged. the courtroom itself today as full as it has been at any point during this trial. in fact, it was so full in 5-d that judge nelson actually had to create some more space. >> there is confusion about how the verdict will be delivered once there is a verdict. can you shed light on that. >> you know, let me clear

la rionda screamed. george zimmerman didn't scream on that call. then, to cover up his nonscream at one point mr. de la rionda suggested to you, no cell phone. under his breath. what he wants you to assume within that context, he said it under his breath because he wanted to say it, but he didn't want nonemergency call to hear it. and then he wants you to assume that what that means is guilt. serious seriously. here's the way you do that. but it's just the fact that he was willing to say it on a recorded call to law enforcement. is evidence of nonguilt. it is oefevidence that he wasn' saying it in a way laced with ill will, spite, hatred or anything else like that. so, call continues. now we have the call. we have our first very large graphic. this is what happens when i get carried away with graphics. they get ten feet long. what this is is the graphic representation of the significance o the phone call that started at 7:09:34 that night. you will have this back with you, so you can sort of go through it. it doesn't include every word that was said back and forth because it would have been 20 fee

the "n" word, it's not that it's not offensive or racist, it's certainliy la racially offensive word. and here's the big point for me, there's no word that equals the "n" word, that's like the trump card. there's nothing that matches it because black and white aren't the same. they're not opposite sides of the same coin. >> levar, listen, who is talking? >> i was going to say, the other difference is let's say for the sake of our argument that both of these men viewed each other through a lens. through the lens of a dangerous black man in a hoodie and trayvon viewed him as a white cracker. here's the point, he tried to avoid zimmerman. to the extent he viewed trayvon racially, he pursued trayvon. if he doesn't do that, we p don't know either of these guys' names. so that's the difference in the words they have power behind them. one has power and one doesn't. >> so, does history matter here? >> history matters. i mean, history is not what we need to look at and, i mean, we heard just a moment ago about the use of the word "cracker," that is not a racial term when you look at the history of it. the cracker was

. >> reporter: prosecutor bernie de la rionda went into great detail pointing out inconsistencies in zimmerman's story from the national television interview he did to the video re-enactment conducted with police. the prosecution picked apart zimmerman's account of what happened. >> why is he able to yell if the defendant claims the victim was -- how he's going to talk or is he lying about that? look at the gun. look at the size of this gun. how did the victim see that in the darkness? >> reporter: in closing, de la rionda even elicited a reaction from george zimmerman. >> unfortunately the only photographs left of trayvon martin are those photographs, they have other football from the younger days but they can't take any more photos and that's true because of the actions of one person, the man before you. the man who is guilty of second-degree murder. >> reporter: before closing arguments even began -- >> just when i thought this case couldn't get any more bizarre, the state is seeking third-degree murder based on child abuse? >> reporter: defense attorney don west didn't mince word

we have been listening to the closing arguments of the prosecutor, bernie de la rionda, making the final points he would like the jury to hear and understand about the defend, george zimmerman in a nutshell what the prosecutor was saying is that if zimmerman had followed followed trayvon martin that night, trayvon martin would still be alive, and said that george zimmerman falsely profiled trayvon martin. i want to bring back in our legal panel. doug burns, former federal prosecutor, and the judge alex. what do you become the prosecutor? >> they came out dramatizing the death and pausing, this young man died, and they had to do that. but on the core issue, the only thing they have to work with is he somehow followed him and the reality is, and i've been saying this all along, just because he may have followed him does not preclude him from using self-defense if he was met with serious force. >> i agree with you in that it's still fairly weak but a the have a theme. a frustrated cop, a wannabe cop. hatred. he talked about, didn't just happen that one instance, this horrible thing. it had been pl

white student, i presume, who goes to an entirely black or an entirely la continueo school who becomes class president would get some pointsbecause he has or she has proven that they foster, can deal in a diverse environment. that's how i understood their plan. it's not just giving you a plus because of race. it's combining that with other factors. >> there is a plus because of race. there are many other factors in the decision and might i say at the white student president of the class in an ethically different school is a measure of leadership. leadership is an independent factor in the p.a.i. he is not getting that point because of his race. he is getting that point because of his leadership. that's a race neutral criteria that could work for anybody. so race is an independent add-on. is it something they can use to boost the p.s.a. element in any way they like. we say it's not necessary. it's not narrowed tailored. it ignores the available alternatives. it's disparate treatment to asian americans because they're minorities as well and to the extent it depends on the classroom factor, there is simply no way to relate or

the prosecutor, bernie de la rionda zeroed in on specific points, showing zimmerman the video of thent zimmerman did for police and disputing his claim that he got out of his truck to check the street sign. >> did you catch him in one lie right there? he originally told the police over and over before and after the interview he didn't know the name of the street. and when they kind of let him talk, he gives the name right there. it common sen it's common sense. there's only three streets and he's lived there four years. why does he have to lie about that? he does not want to have to admit he's following that oun sent young boy. >> let's bring back our panel. martin, this notion that he was repeatedly lying, what did you make of that? >> well, these would be called inconsistencies by the defense. one of the aspects that is really unique to this particular case is that george zimmerman has made so many recorded statements. a number of them of course were police interviews, others were the reenactment that he did but then he also went on television. so they, meaning the prosecution, hav

point. it's already bad enough. let's go to la tonya in mississippi. ing an article here where the black staff members had to use a separate entrance to enter and leave the restaurant. >> stephanie: we stumbled into the middle of the help. >> caller: exactly. it's not even about the n-word. it's about how she completed her black employees from our she treated her other employees. and the person who brought the suit was not a black person. she was a manager who was upset with the way her employees were being treated. >> stephanie: and the despite the help her sponsor made her eat. [ bleep ] pie. that will help. >> yes. >> stephanie: good morning rick. >> caller: hi, how are you doing. i was noting that a lot of people don't remember that the democrat party has been around since the beginning and the democrat party, of course, was the one who had the slavery going. >> stephanie: those democrats it's not the democratic party. >> caller: they wanted to keep the tax going because it brought in revenue and the republican party freed the slaves and gave them a

otherwise in your airport boards throughout la guardia we are looking at major delays and they are increasing at this pointif you are going to new york city it looks like a tough next couple hours. otherwise on the thursday forecast, cloud cover at the coastline but we'll see the clouds filter inland again. not hot by 11:00 a.m. mid- to upper-70s in the bay area. let's get you outside to that live hd sky camera network. a beautiful scene. and off to the north in emeriville a fog storm here from the east bay right over to san francisco reducing visibilities in san francisco at this point. likely areas of drizzle and also mist as we head into the overnight hours. be prepared for that on the bay or golden gate bridge. the fog factor from san francisco and palo at toe but it's the afternoon the fog will stay at the coast. characteristic of this time of the year. but look at the sunshine you get back here in the east bay. the temperatures are cooler with the stronger onshore flow but it is still pool weather if you have up with here in the south way. 84 degrees. 87 in morgan hill. no triple digits across the ea

here is bernie de la rionda's worst misstep in the closing as chosen by jeff toobin. >> my point is that there was a fight there. there was a struggle and at some points it appears based on the evidence that the defendant was on top and at some points the victim was on top. it's wrestling, struggling, whatever you want to call it. but why'd it occur? >> because it's important who's on top. and it's important -- >> it sounds like he's trying to fudge it. >> this is a critical issue in the case. it's over. the evidence is all in. and he can't say who was on top when, who started things? that i thought was indicative of a real weakness in the prosecution's case. >> sunny, it does kind of remind us of what we were talking about yesterday, the idea that the prosecution sort of changed their story about who was on top. they started off the trial saying one thing, that george zimmerman was on top and then just yesterday they said, well, maybe it was trayvon martin was on top but he was pulling away. >> well, the prosecution wasn't saying that, the witnesses were saying that, anderson. you have

> this morning, they are also accepting teams to all las disa to investigate a small plane crash there. the pilots were killed at the -- at that pointt burned before rescuers could arrive and it is the worst aviation accident in 25 years. >>> they are working to get past ports for people who crashed at fso. they talked also about the two young girls killed in the crash. both were 16 years old and they were from a school in eastern china and organized a two week summer camp. they identified the girls and posted photos of them. >> they were very young girls and here for summer camp and we are very, very sorry for their tragedy. >> flight 214 originated in shanghai. yesterday the chinese council member with them to address concerns. >>> a caravan of hearses traveled to where they were based. large crowds gathered along the procession routes to pay their respects. they were part of a team of highly skilled firefighters and they were killed while trying to build a fire line around the yarnell fire. >>> the america's cup challenge series finally got underway and it was new zealand that took the first win. the cata moran hit speeds of 50 m

la rionda. we're not the only ones who noticed it. even o'mara pointedlosing. >> does it really help you decide this case when somebody who is not george zimmerman's voice screams at you or yells at you and curses at you? no, i would contend. >> interesting point. john guy's close a little different. second, there were also the props. so we know the value of a good show. the defense had life-size cut-outs of zimmerman and martin and a concrete block they called a weapon because they say martin slammed zimmerman's head against it. the prosecution had a powerpoint slide show circa 1990. no bells, no whistles. lisa bloom, that was not the best thing. but they also had to deal with an extraordinarily -- the prosecution had to deal with an extraordinarily high burden, right, to prove. in stand your ground states, it's an even higher burden. mark o'mara had an interesting comment post-trial. he said he didn't want to go through the stand your ground pretrial hearing because that would have shown his defense. that would have previewed his strategy to the state.

the question at this point, jeffrey, how do you think bernie de la rionda is doing? >> i think he's doing a good job. it's an aggressive job. there have been problems in this prosecution's case. i think everyone recognized that. but he is not backing off from the murder charge. that is, the top charge in this case. he is making the case that george zimmerman's conduct that is relevant here is not just the night of the murder. it's his building anger about finding people in the neighborhood who don't belong there. these punks. these people he doesn't like. and the murder of trayvon martin, he's claiming, is the culmination of weeks of frustration. i don't know if the evidence is there for that. but i think it's -- it's very significant that this prosecutor is going for the murder charge, not just urging the jury to settle on manslaughter. >> all right. let's fw let's get comments from our legal analysts in studio with me. tanya miller, holly hughes. let me start first with you, tanya. one of the things we saw bernie de la rionda doing was try to kind of revive what wa

la rionda's closing argument. >> when you give a closing arguments, you have to give the points a jury can take in and argue and i didn't feel that, i didn't think it had one, two, three, four, five and i feel like it meandered about. but some of the points were there, like the draw string. i think the facts were compelling but the presentation left a lot to be desired. >> sunny, what do you think? do you think it was an effective presentation? >> i think it was a very effective presentation. i watched that jury very, very carefully. they were with him, they were watching. even the ones that normally take these copious notes just listened. toward the middle and end of his presentation, then they started taking notes and they were teakitea taking notes when he was pointing out the inconsistencies of george zimmerman's statements. what was effective was the way they changed the narrative of the defense, they wanted the case to be about self-defense. the prosecution took control and said this is about who started it. this is about george zimmerman making assumptions that were wrong, chasing, tracking an innocent y

review a collection of his correspondence and until that point i knew about oppenheimer whether everyone knows about oppenheimer, he directed the las alamos laboratory in a security clearance taken away, he was head of the institution of princeton, that is how i didn't know that he wrote poetry, i didn't know that he wrote short stories, that he was an expert in french literature. that he taught himself sanskrit, that he was deeply interested in hinduism and that he taught himself sanskrit in order to read into classics in the original way wedge. needed to i know about his political activities in any detail in the 1930s or his relations with friends and students and family members, all of which i found fascinating and i said in the review there is a really interesting biography to be written of oppenheimer and after this was published publishers got in touch with me saying why don't you do it and so i did and took me 11 years. it is an incredibly rich and and sorting and fascinating life. there wasn't a single day in those 11 years when i lost interest in my subject. he continues, i continue to find out new things about him. the mo

at one point during the jury selection process, judge nelson and bernie de la rionda, they were talking of them asked her do you belong to any organizations? and the woman's response was, when you have eight kids, your house itself is an organization. that elicited a great deal of laughter from the courtroom. so we know a little bit about the make-up. we also know that juror e-6 is probably the juror that we have paid the most attention to because she has sort of made a name for herself as being a prolific note taker so to speak. she's probably taken more notes than any of the other five jurors. and here's the make-up of what they do. two of them are unemployed, one is a nurse assistant, one managing arenrental property, of them is a call center supervisor and one is in an unknown history, who is married to someone in the space industry and has been in the same job for 16 years. judge nelson over the course of the past few weeks has asked them do you have want to stop for a dinner break, do you want to stop for a lunch break, a bathroom break? more often than not and there was one excep
