marcia and richard thanks for being with us this evening.arcia, the prosecution has to prove that zimmerman was not defending himself bust trayvon is dead. how do we know? can we ever get a complete story here? >> you know, i don't think that you ever well and that's really very common in criminal trials. you have one party to the action is deceased and can't tell his side of the story. but we put together as much as we can and hope that all of the big pieces are in the correct places. in this case we have a lot of back and forth. at this point there's some evidence now that there may have been a valid claim of self-defense. there's evidence however that george zimmerman was the aggressor. we're about halfway through the prosecution's case or maybe a little bit more. we do have to hear from the coroner. the autopsy will be important to show what kind of injuries trayvon martin had. the angle of the bullet. the trajectory of the bullet. we have a lot more to go. >> but, you know, as marcia says, richard there's been a lot of testimony as to w

joining me now is former prosecutor mar marcia clark, color of "killer ambition."mer criminal prosecutor faith jenkins. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> marcia, the hearing over the analysis of the 911 call has stretched over several days. how crucial is this to both sides? >> oh, it's critical. it's critical. if they get this admitted, the prosecution gets this admitted, it's going to be really damning evidence, because it will establish that the aggressor was zimmerman and not trayvon martin. on the other hand, if it doesn't come in, it will be a big loss to the prosecution. there is no question. this is a very big deal. i'd be surprised, though, if the judge keeps it out. >> faith, the fact is we know that they're going to play the tape. >> that's right. >> the question is whether they're going to have the expert witness. and without the expert witness, will the jury be able to come to the conclusion that this expert witness is that this is likely trayvon martin? >> so the jurors are going to hear this tape, and they'll be able to li

so, marcia, what is -- if you step back, is there a big theme for this term?something that really define this is term on the roberts' court? >> i think so, margaret. if i recall in october when the term began i said this would be a term about equality because of the potential for major decisions involving affirmative action, voting rights and same-sex marriage. i think this term will be known for the court's dramatic invalidation of a key section of the voting rights act and for its very significant but incremental step toward same-sex marriage. >> warner: and in both those cases the court either in one case invalidated the defense of marriage act entirely passed by congress and in another pretty much gutted the voting rights act, also passed by congress a couple of times. would you call that an activist court? >> (laughs) "activist" is such a loaded term. i'm very careful about using it. generally a court is considered activist when it strikes down a low that congress enacted and it's considered negatively activist by the people who supported the law. chief j

marcia, so much anticipation for the openings of this trial.ke of the opening statements? >> both sides delivered their strongest punch. the prosecution came out swinging by quoting from george zimmerman's 911 tapes, and the language that he used, i can't use it on the air, but f-ing, a-holes, is that close enough? i don't know if that was safe, indicating a mind-set by george zimmerman showing that he was already inclined to think the worst of trayvon martin from the first time he saw him and called the police. on the other hand, the defense was able to bring out and did bring out in great detail the manner which george zimmerman suffered injuries and the fact that it was possible that the voice we heard on the 911 tape screaming for help could have been george zimmerman's given the nature of the injuries that we eventually saw. so both sides came out swinging with their most strong points. and even though the defense did unfortunately tell a knock knock joke in the beginning that fell rather flat, i think the jury was able to get past that an

with us, as always, is marcia coyle of the "national law journal." tell us a little more about the case of the justice. >> the election clause in the federal constitution it gives states the responsibility to set the time, place and manner of federal elections. but it also gives congress the power to alter those regulations, as you said in 1993, congress enacademy the motor voter law that created a simple unified form to register to vote. in 2004 arizona enacted proposition 200, and that required state voting officials to reject any registration form that did not include concrete evidence of citizenship such as driver's license, birth certificate. the issue before the court was whether that requirement conflicted with the federal form which only requires the applicant to attest, sign that the person is a citizen under penalty of perjury. >> what did the justices do? >> justice scalia wrote for the majority as he was during oral arguments, he was very skeptical of arizona's argument that under the federal law which requires states to accept and use th

back with our panel, sunny hostin, mark geragos, jeffrey toobin, marcia clark. how did this play a part? >> it is interesting to me in the courtroom, didn't seem to play a part in opening statements. race was not mentioned once. we did hear the word profile, which many would say is code for racial profiling, but when john guy, the prosecutor, discussed this case, he did not mention race, he only mentioned profiling in the sense of he profiled trayvon martin as someone who was about to commit a crime in the neighborhood. i thought it was fascinating. i think we can all agree race is sort of the elephant in the room, that it appears no one is going to talk about. >> that was because the judge, marsha, was saying you can't use the term racial profiling, you can use the word profiling, correct? >> exactly, anderson. everybody knows when you say profiling, what comes before it. it is the silent k in know. that's what it is. you can pretend it is not there, don't have to say the word or say the word race, we're all going to know what it is about. when he says profilin

marcia clark, deputy district attorney and author, her latest thriller, killer ambition. sonny, you were in the courtroom, the knock knock joke, how damaging do you think it was. a defense attney normally doesn't apologize to the jury, especially on the first day. >> you know, i looked at the jury because i was so surprised at this joke. they seemed offended to me and it was painful for me to listen to. not only as someone covering the trial but as someone who has tried cases and given opening statements, some of them go better than others, but this was just so very painful. i will tell you, it wasn't just the delivery of the knock knock joke which didn't make sense, it was a rambling presentation. he seemed to break all the rules of opening statement, it wasn't schematic, it was rambling. it didn't make sense to me. >> mark, you think it is much ado about nothing. what do you make of this three hour opening statement by the defense, where the prosecution had 30 minutes opening statement? >> look, i have to tell you having tried quite a few cases that the idea that someho

marcia, you say you can see both sides want a jury made up of both women? >> there is something in it for both sides when women are involved. from the prosecution's side, women, especially mothers and five of the six are pots, are going to, the hope is they will feel somewhat invested in trayvon martin as someone who could have been their son out there that night. by conversely, from the defense point of view, they like the idea of women, especially bill who have had guns in their lives, in their family. they are more likely to identify with the fear in a neighborhood that has been burglarized and feel like george zimmerman is kind of a protector of there's. so appreciate what he was to trying to do. so women actually have something to give for both sides of this lawsuit at the end of the day, i am not surprised to see it was an all demail jury. >> what do you think? i heard people say most of these five out of six are mom, they might be more sympathetic to trayvon martin. >> right. and if they say that, they have absolutely no idea what they're talking abo

>> in front of jane fonda, sam waterston, i knew it was so bad, that oscar winner marcia gay hardingst saw her lips moving, and i kept saying marcia who won an oscar is teaching me how to say lines. and the makeup artist was putting calming moisturizer on my hand to calm me. >> jimmy: that exists. >> i guess, for people in the news room falling apart. it was like being in a marathon and you're on your last leg of the marathon, and your body is falling apart. and you [ bleeped ] yourself? o -- >> jimmy: just like earlier we discussed. >> yeah, i could have looked down at my foot, i was like oh, i. [ bleeped ] myself. and the great thing about jane fonda, i'm screwing up all day, it wasn't one line, two line li not one take, all day long. on my close-up, i'm calling what is the line? and they would give me the line, and i would get like two words of it. i would say what is it again, and they would give me it again. and jane fonda kept looking at me, off camera, saying i love you right now, i love you. she was the only one super excited about it. >> jimmy: oh, she was? >> yeah, and she
