marcia clark? >> i agree. it's really important that he took that class and he even said to the police in the interrogation, they say you studied criminal law and you no what is justifiable and what is not justifiable homicide. he said, yeah, i do. one of the first words outs of his fourth after the shooting was "i shot him in self-defense." the fact that he has the ability to frame the events in accordance of the law. and i want to hear about the trajectory of the bullet, was it angled across and any defense wounds on trayvon's body, i'd like to hear about that. i think that may prove to be key. >> thank you so much for joining us today. we want to turn to another major national story. to the outside world they were a band of elite firefighters but in their hometowns they were fathers and sons, brothers, dear friends. these 19 members of the hot shot team traveled to yarnell, arizona to help contain a wildfire out of control. but it led to a tragedy. today we started to learn about their lives and the communi

marcia, starting off the day, the defense's animation can be used, not as an exhibit. it will not be something going into the jury room with the exhibits but it can be shown to them used as an illustration device during the closing arguments. so it seems like we'll see it during closing arguments, how do you expect it to work? >> well, they will use it as an exhibit as an illustration of their view of the case. showing, of course, that george zimmerman was the victim and that trayvon martin was the aggressor. will it work? i know that many say it can be extremely impressive to the jury. but in my experience you can tip it a little too far to the cartoon side. the fact that this animation looks like avatar can make it look like a cartoon event. what i think, something much more compelling is john guy getting on top of the dummy in the courtroom. that brings it home better to me, than this, that is not very real. >> they were eager to get this animation in through testimony and introduced through testimony. but now it will be a tool through final argument? >> yeah, i don

marcia clark, wow, what do you have to say about these exchanges?know, things take place in a court of law. i can say that i've actually been in more fiery exchanges than those myself, and i've seen other defense attorneys who were more on the hot seat than don west was, though not often. look, here is the thing. number one thing is the judge is right about the fact that once the court rules, you've already made your objection, you've made your record. that's what you have had to do. once you have done it, the court has ruled against you, move on. unless you have a new point to assert that no one has considered, different story. but that's not what has happened here. don west keeps going after the same thing over and other and over again. and she says i ruled, stop repeateding yourself. she has a sequestered jury that is waiting in the wings every time they do this kind of stuff. and they don't have time to waste. and she is very wisely protective of this jury which is excellent. i know john doesn't agree with me about requesting the client about wh

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 was a misfire, if you pardon the expression, on o'mara's p

marcia clark is correct.d off bad because he told the jury, hey, you have to ignore the lead detective in the case who testified that he believes george zimmerman and his self-defense explanation. you can't unring the bell. the jury heard it. but the prosecution came back strong with the medical evidence from the medical examiner that testified, hey, these injuries are minor, a very big inconsistency for george zimmerman. and also undermining george zimmerman's credibility. >> faith jenkins, marcia clark, john burris and ken padowitz, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> still ahead, the prosecution's attempt to prove a depraved mind. what the lead investigator said about george zimmerman's behavior that night. >>> also, how the president is fighting to expand health care across america, despite gop roadblocks. stay with us. the end. lovely read susan. may i read something? yes, please. of course. a rich, never bitter taste cup after cup. 340 grams.

back with me now, faith jenkins, lisa bloom, marcia clark, and john burris. much of this kind of inconsistency undermines zimmerman's version of events? >> oh, boy, this really does, i have to say, it really does there was another one as well where he was talking about how at first he said he saw trayvon martin running. and then suddenly he was walking leisurely. and that kind of thing is very important too. because what he saw of trayvon martin's behavior is very important to explain the motive for him to pursue trayvon martin to make the call to begin with, as a matter of fact. and i want to point out something else there is a huge inconsistency also in his description. he says trayvon martin of the actual attack, trayvon martin straddles him and then repeatedly pounds his head into the ground, and repeatedly throws blows into his face. but the injuries are not consistent with that there is -- there are lacerations, a couple of small ones on the back of zimmerman's head. but those are consistent with someone who gets knocked down, hits their head. it's not

i'd like to welcome in sunny hostin and marcia clark. danny savalos and mark geragos. also lawrence covalinski. let me start with you. tracy martin, probably the witness to watch today. how successful was the defense at poking a hole in the assertion that he heard his son on the 911 call. >> i think very successful. at first blush you say, why would you ever call him. i think what they're going to argue is, when he was with the police, he told them one thing, when he got into court, he wanted to tell them something else, the mind makes you do things, understandably, when you're talking about your son. and i think they're going to use that to great effect in closing argument to say, that's exactly why trayvon's mother said the same thing, that her mind wanted her to, but in reality, when you take a look at these other witnesses, they were effective for the defense, and i think when you contrast that with what he told the police first, it's going to be a very effective closing argument. >> marcia, it was interesting to watch mark o'mara the defense attorney without ever

i want to go to our panel, sunny hostin, marcia clark. at the defense table tonight, danny savalos and mark geragos who is author of "mis-trial," a look at how the justice system works and sometimes doesn't. and tracy martin probably the witness to watch today. how successful was the defense in poking a hole in saying it was his son in the 911 call? >> i think they're going to say when he was with the police, he said one thing and in court he said another thing i think they're going to that in closing argument to say that's exactly why trayvon martin's mother said the same thing, that her mind wanted her to. but the witnesses were very, very effective for the defense. i think when you contrast that with what he told the police first, it's going to be a very effective closing argument. >> marcia, it was interesting to watch mark o'mara to slyly make the point that he believed he changed his story about the 911 call, especially after talking to his attorney. is that an effective strategy? >> it can be because in this case it's coming from t

joining me is former prosecutor marcia clark. she is author of "killer ambition."nd back with me are lisa bloom and faith jenkins. marcia, take a listen to what juror b29 said about the not guilty decision. >> how did you go from in nine hours from feeling he was guilty of second-degree murder to not guilty? >> it was hard. a lot of us wanted to find something bad, something that would connect to the law, because all six of us -- well, let's not speak for all six of us. well, for my myself, he is guilty because the evidence shows he is guilty. >> he is guilty of? >> killing trayvon martin. but we couldn't prove that intentionally he killed him. and that's that the law was read to me. >> now marcia, she talked about the way the law was read to her. isn't that a reference to the stand your ground's impact on jury instructions? >> you know what, reverend? i'm not so sure. when she said that the law required proof of an intentional killing, that's not the stand your ground law. that's the law that says -- that is required to show intent to kill for the purpose of eithe

marcia clark and her latest "killer ambition," on the defense side, mark kneejam and mark geragos and an inside look at how the criminal justice system works and sometimes doesn't. dr. kobilinsky, i want to start with you. the firearms expert toughered that the gun was touching trayvon martin's sweatshirt when george zimmerman fired and that's not what the autopsy found. >> i find it mysteriously. she test fired with the same ammunition. she used the same garments to do her test fire, and she concluded that it was a contact shot. remember that there are two garment, the hoodie sweatshirt and an underlying sweatshirt and then the body. she's looking at gunshot residue, burned and unburned particles, and the tearing and singeing of the fibers around the hall. the conclusion makes sense to me that it was a contact shot. what's mysterious is that the autopsy report indicate not that it was a close shot or contact shot, but rather it was an intermediate distance shot which tellses me it was probably between six and 18 inches. >> who is likely to be more accurate? >> i would tend to think t

marcia, thank you for joining us. let me pose the same question to you. juror b-37 says trayvon martin played a huge role in his own death. how do you respond to that? >> i think it's really clear that she bought the defense hook line and sinker. she blames trayvon martin for having fought with george zimmerman and believes george zimmerman had a right to shoot him. and it shows to me that she threw out so much of the prosecution's testimony especially that of rachel jeantel. what happened to that? rachel jeantel testified that she overheard trayvon martin say why you following me for. heard somebody else who had to be zimmerman say whag are you doing here. and later trayvon saying get off me, get off me. what does that mean to her? where did that go? that girl was completely dismissed by her as though it never happened, so it seems to me. of course if you do that, if you dismiss the prosecution's evidence especially key evidence like that, what else are you going to do? you're going to buy the defense. this juror struck me as somebody who came in with a

we have ben and marcia, and the newly engaged couple joining us.st of all, ben, how did you pull this thing off involving the officers and everything, how did you do it? >> well, my brother-in-law is a police officer and he got a few of the friends on the police force to help out. >> tell us about the voting. have you won? >> well, we have not won yet. we are in the top two. it goes down today. >> and what about the parking tickets, is that true? >> i have a couple, but i knew i didn't have $2,000 worth. >> i have literally paid off thousands and thousands of dollars of parking tickets. >> if you do win this wedding, what do you get? >> well, it is worth over $20,000 and it doesn't include the dress, but like the cake and the flowers and the vendor and the food and the invitations. >> a wedding planner and decorator and a limo. >> wow. >> that is a huge prize. >> yeah. >> and by the way, if i don't win the competition, i have won because she said yes. >> that is right answer. great by this guy. >>> got a little how-to video, steven. this guy tom al

and if you look at the evidence, i think marcia is correct, marcia clark, she has assessed and analyzed. but from the defense standpoint, all he has is to attack their case. and i think the defense has done a very good job of attacking their case. they have the two lawyers. and you have the good guy and the bad guy. and i think they've aggressively attacked that case. but mr. zimmerman's told a lot of contradictory -- made statements that are contradictory. and i think the prosecution may take advantage of that. but that's all they can do. >> marcia clark and billy martin, i'm going to have to leave there it. thanks for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>> coming up, move over, bob mcdonnell. there is a new governor ultrasound on the block. scott walker's latest anti-woman bill is offensive, but the way he signed it into law might be even worse. asional constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating? yes! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap each day helps defend against these digestive issues... with three strains of good bacteria.

sunny hostin, marcia clark, mark nejaime and mark geragos.his is what we were talking about yesterday when you guys were arguing over the extend of his injuries. as long as george zimmerman walls scared by the extent of his injuries, whether or not those injuries really were something that were as serious as maybe he thought they were doesn't matter, what matters is what he felt about them, zplekt >> that's why i don't understand this witness. if you're the prosecution, why do you put this witness on? he, in that little exchange, gave precisely what we discussed last night is going to be the defense's argument. my guess, you're going to see the jury talk about this precisely this when they go back there first thing in their deliberations. this is one of the key issues for them to understand that. and the prosecution, their own witness kind of cuts them off at the knees. >> marcia clark, do you agree with that? >> a little bit. but i understand why they put him on. they wanted to show the jury that george zimmerman knew the kind of story he ha

marcia, it's a difficult position to be interviewing the attorney for the family. only so much i guess he would say. i'm not sure how much he really wants to be forthcoming. he did seem to indicate that there maybe -- or he perceives perhaps dissatisfaction on the part of the lead investigator as to the way the case was handled. >> he did hint at that. he didn't want to come right out and say it and i'm not sure what the truth of that is. the jury is not going to know, i'm sure. i think he made important points. number one that he felt, even at the time, that george zimmerman exaggerated trayvon martin's aggression conduct and his injuries and he also made it clear he would not have stopped and stopped trayvon martin or thought anything suspicious in his behavior as described by zimmerman. he made strong points for the prosecution. he made other points that the defense has been able to parlay. one more thing that he said that i thought was extremely important to remember. he said, you know, we can't see the jury's reaction to what is going on in court. and that is

marcia shade shows us the teen's parents took part and had a strong message for the crowd. >> today it was my son. tomorrow it might be yours. >> reporter: those words from trayvon martin's mother at a rally in new york are one reason this father of three showed up for a demonstration in washington, d.c.. >> there seems to be adolescent latino males and the same thing could happen to them that happened to trayvon martin. >> reporter: miami, los angeles, new york, washington, d.c., hundreds in downtown atlanta stood in the pouring rain. demonstrators gathering in cities across the u.s. for what has been dubbed national justice for trayvon day. one week after a jury decided george zimmerman acted in self- defense when he shot and killed the 17-year-old, protestors are still demanding justice. >> no peace, no justice. >> we are saying that last saturday's verdict should not be the end. but the beginning of a very important national conversation about race and justice in america. >> reporter: professor carol swain calls the protests misguided saying the politics around the issue takes amer

also joining us, jeffrey toobin, marcia clark, prosecutor in the o.j. simpson trial and author of a new novel. doctor, let me start with you and play a little bit more of what we heard from the medical examiner. and then we'll discuss. >> it's your position that interest are at least three impacts between that head and cement? >> yes. concrete. >> concrete. >> however, and you said it sort of consistent so i'm going to walk through it. i'm not going to use pictures now, let's just chat about it. i think you used the suggestion that if you hit yourself in the nose, it could be all one shot, correct? >> one blow, correct. >> you're not suggests that it was only one blow, correct if. >> no, but consistent with. >> you say consistent with to minimize the number of shots it could possibly be, correct? >> not minimize but if you gave me another scenario, i could look at that scenario and see if it's consistent. >> let me give that you scenario. he gets hit in the nose like this, just like that but it does not go up here. so here is the first shot and here's t

sunny hostin, marcia clark, danny savalos and mark geragos.e chances are that the jury will be instructed in an opt for lesser charges? >> i think there's no question the jury will be charged on second murder and manslaughter. that's a lesser included offense. the way i read the statute, it has to be done. and i suspect that the government is going to request it. there's evidence to support manslaughter. this jury will have a choice of what to convict george zimmerman on, if they're going to convict him at all. >> and that's how it goes, it's up to the jury, they can go for second degree murder or manslaughter. >> exactly. it's very, very common. manslaughter is what is called a lesser included offense within second degree murder and it's a very rare case when the manslaughter instruction is not given when you have a murder charge like this and the jury makes the call. >> but you think that in the summation by the prosecution that once they're allowed to give their version of events and tie all the pieces together, you think they may still be

it's not just automatic, as marcia said.t's required if you're ever going to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence. if you lose the case and want to appeal it and say there was insufficient evidence, if you had failed to make a motion for judgment of acquittal, then you waive that ability to appeal it. so it is, indeed, as she said in every case. >> all right. let's listen in. >> that is not correct, jake. that is not correct. that is not correct. you never waive your right to attack the sufficiency of the evidence. the defense is always allowed on appeal to attack the sufficiency of the evidence regardless of what happens at trial. >> we'll hash that out in a minute. right now i want to listen in as the first witness for the defense has just been sworn in and she is about to testify. let's listen in. while we're waiting for the attorneys to begin, what at this stage in this case has struck you as significant? >> well, i think everything that happened today struck me as really significant. and both on the emotional side

or i introduce our moderator, i also want to acknowledge rich who worked with me tirelessly as marcia said in polling these panelists together, discussing and coming up with the idea of what are the conversations that we're in

when they question, objection, motion to strike. >> marcia, let me ask you about that.is another prosecution witness the defense is able to score some points with. >> they did. they did it because of course by having him explain the law. what's unfortunate is he didn't make it clear enough, anderson. he should have said what someone's injuries are doesn't resolve the question as to whether the shooter reasonably believed he was in imminent danger of death or great bodily injury. someone can point a gun at your head, inflict no injuries and put you in reasonable fear of death. so the fact that george zimmerman, what kind of injuries he has is not what resolved the question of whether he reasonably believed it and he was imminently in danger. what the point of those injuries is, versus what he says, is that it shows him to be lying. that's the point of it. the point of showing that his injuries were rather as described by another witness insignificant goes to impeach his statement that trayvon martin was beating him the way he was. that's the point of all that. what the t

i grew up watching marcia brady, but i did not really see myself.think about growing up in onceronx and watching tv, a year "west side story" would come on. this movie inspired me so much to do everything i have done. when i thought about nuvo and the network, i thought this was a great way to communicate with the community. if i could be inspired by one movie once a year at then if you had a cable network that ran 20 for hours a day with programming imagine howatable, many people can be inspired and how many things can be done. it is an opportunity to empower. >> how is your role going to work? will you be there day in and day out? >> i can be there day in and day out, but i'm the creative chief officer. the whole look and feel of the network, i'm involved in it creatively. marketing and how it looks and how the network looks itself. the programming and the development of the programming. being and distribution meetings and that kind of stuff. it is a big job. it is really important. it represents something bigger than just television. it represent

marcia clark, your take on this?ah, i really do hope that there is not an overreaction and over-response, if you will in anticipation of something that i think is never going to happen. i think clearly, it is important to note as has been noted by the reverend and others said, the initial demonstrations were very peaceful. there was no problem. i don't think that there was any reason to believe there will be one after the fact. maybe there will be an outcry, or protests in terms of vocalizing a disagreement with the verdict if there is an acquittal. but that is fair. that is what our country is about. we're allowed to do that. >> that is right, a healthy thing to do in a democracy, i encourage people to speak out, go on social media. obviously, peacefully, legally. let your voice be heard. the last time there was a riot, i lived in los angeles at that time. couldn't be more different, frankly. because i think that was a sudden, shocking verdict. this was a situation caught on videotape. and in this case, frankly, a l

they found a republican woman to take the reins of the bill, congressman marcia blackburn instead ofnks. >> (singing) oh, man. martha blackburn is a role model. ladies i'm taking control of my body and also yours. having women is good for the whole country. >> john: how? think of how much money you'll save by paying us less. >> john: that's actually a very good point. >> it's happening so fast. i'm sorry. i just have to filibuster more. you guy don't have any diapers around here, do you. >> john: we don't have time for this. >> i don't need them. and we have all the time. i have a dream. >> john: i don't think this is a good idea. >> i have a dream that a woman will not be judged on the color of her bra but on the content of her womb. i have a dream. that one day a woman will continue to make 70% of what a man makes but only because her female boss treat cheated her out of it. one day we shall have a woman president with an all male cabinet. and one day a nation of women will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. >> john: start to commercial.

[laughter] >> marcia was already taken by the way. >> i was. but i did show it to my husband. by the way it was such a beautifully written proposal who proposed to me in a parking lot in downtown baltimore. [laughter] but there was no future in that proposal. so i did respond to the one from the editor at simon & schuster and. she really convinced me that, it was a good time to look at the supreme court because even though it was young, and this was five years into john roberts's tenure as chief, it had shown a willing necessary to really take on some very controversial issues. and, part of the reason i picked the four cases i did because i wanted issues i thought based on those five years would have some shelf life. that we would see them coming back and we have. this term in particular there are two cases involving race. next term there's another big campaign finance case, brought by the way, by the same lawyer who brought citizens united to the supreme court. i'm sure we're going to see another health care challenge, not the kind we saw last term as you probably read, there

simpson's prosecutor marcia clark and tom mesirow.rosecutor bernie de la rionda said he respected the jury's decision but disappointed with a verdict. for a prosecution team that worked with the family. a lot of people had a lot of hopes resting on what the jury would decide. can you talk about the frustrations that the prosecution team is feeling. give us a feeling for what they put into this case more than just a year. >> you live, breathe, eat and sleep a case of this magnitude, and i'm sure they did. they worked very hard for a very long time and they believed in their case. you could see that. as they should. you don't bring a case if you don't believe in it. it's very painful to lose the case, not because it's a win, loss kind of olympic event but because you believe justice has not been served. that's a very difficult situation to live with. i have to say this case in particular, though, was a difficult case. i've been pretty up front about that from the very start. they had an uphill battle. having to disprove justifiable self
