deputy marsha clark and criminal defense attorney danny and mark c garagos.s for a lesser charge? >> there is no question the jury will be charged on second degree and -- second degree murpder and manslaughter. i mean, that's a lesser included offense and the way i read the statute, it has to be done and i suspect that the government is going to request it. there is evidence to support manslaughter. so this jury will have a choice of what to convict george zimmerman on. if they convict him at all. >> marsha, that's how it goes. it's up to the jury. they can go for second-degree murder or manslaughter. it's not one or the other? >> exactly. anderson, it's very, very common. i mean, manslaughter is what's called a lesser included offense within second-degree murder and a rare case when the manslaughter instruction is not give when you have a murder charge like this and the jury makes the call. >> marsha, you think that in the summation by the prosecution, that once they are allowed to give their version of vents and kind of tie all the pieces together, you thin

yes, sir. >> marsha, how effective do you think that was? >> pretty effective, jake. you know, i don't think there's going to be any one particular piece of evidence in this case that's going to be the slam dunk smoking gun, that's it. but that is one piece of the puzzle that is extremely important. the jury has to determine whether or not george zimmerman reasonably believed his life was in imminent danger. that's difficult to prove with injuries that are insignificant. when you have the lead investigators as well as the coroner saying these were minor injuries in the grand scheme of things, not only does that undermine the claim that he reason believed he was in danger of imminent death, it also undermines specifically what george zimmerman said, which was that trayvon martin was pounding his head repeatedly into the ground and raining blows on him in a mixed martial arts style, it tends to refute all of that, that's an important piece of evidence for the prosecution. >> the state got a doctor to minimize the extent of his injuries. i'm guessing this will go on thei

not only being here again, having a chance to chat with marsha. we overlapped for 20 years in the supreme court press room. -- marsha. >> you see her book the roberts court for struggle for the constitution. the struggle for the constitution. not sort of whose constitution is it but who understands the real meaning of the constitution, right? you maimed this, just for those who haven't had a chance to look at the book. marcia made an interesting choice to frame her story of the roberts court through the lens of four major roberts court cases. one about guns. one about race. one about money and one about health care. so it doesn't get much more fundamental than that. and you can have lots of struggles for the constitutional implications of those subjects. so, ask you to elaborate a bit on that. >> sure. the struggle is within the court over the meaning and the scope of certain provisions in the constitution. but it's also a struggle outside of the court as i show, as i tell the backstoriries of the four cases that i picked to draw the reader throug

the republicans have a lot of good spokes wim, kelly ayotte is terrific, marsha blackburn is terrific when they're talking about issues. certainly having these three white liberal men that are behaving badly having them front and center and dominate the headlines is not good for the democrats. >> well, unlike yourself, my friend, apparently the party does think there's meat in this. a spokeswoman for the national republican campaign committee told "the washington post" just today quote, the best tools we have as republicans to recruit women candidates this cycle are those three democrats named bob filner, eliot spitzer, and anthony weiner. democrats called this theory ludicrous. a spokesman for the democratic senate campaign told slate today quote, this whole thing shows that republicans have no idea what the war on women is all about. the voter protecting equal pay, the birth control access, the violence against women act. it's about issues, not cable soap operas in new york city and san diego. john feehery says it's not an opportunity for the republicans to win. and yet all these in

"congress wrote this law. we voted for you. we have a problem. you need to fix it. the unintended consequences of the affordable care act are severe." that's pretty blunt for one of the democrats' biggest voting blocs. >> i love the way they speak to the elected representatives of the u.s. people, "we have a problem, you have to fix it." this is why unions have been doing so well in public opinion for the last 30, 40 years. look, obamacare is failing. it's not that some of us are rootin

the good news is that congresswoman marsha fudge is a fighter.e is a scrapper and she is ahead of the congressional black caucus. so even though boehner has his position, there are a whole lot of other people that have positions. >> we have to just focus on the speakary little bit, vanessa. there's been a lot of talk about whether or not he will even introduce the senate bill into the house without a majority of republican support. which it doesn't look like he has. i mean there are still republicans in the party who are debating whether there should even be immigration reform, whether there should and path to citizenship. and if is all as we are to assume, a bid at republicans gaining a greater foothold among people of color, then the conversation has been rewound even at this point to a very basic argument over whether or not 11 million people should have a path towards citizenship would not seem to be furthering the goals of the republican party if they do want to make those inroads with people of color. >> i think it is just unfathomable that

. >> marsha, how typical is it for the defense team after succeeding to say something like that?> it's not typical. i think -- i disagree with him, of course. it was not disgraceful. this was a case that needed to be tried. there was sufficient evidence. i think that a reasonable jury could have found him guilty, at least of manslaughter and to call it disgraceful is to me over the top. and no, i have not seen that particular attitude in previous cases ever before but this case does seem to have engendered a great deal of polarized feelings on both sides and i -- all i can say is i disagree with him and i think it was a case to be tried in a court of law, regardless of how he feels about the strength of the evidence. that does not mean and he is not the final arbitor to brand it as disgraceful which i think was going a bit too far. >> marcia clark, tom mesereau, thank you so much. george zimmerman stayed out of sight since leaving the courtroom last night and hearing from his brother who spoke with cnn just a little while ago. >>> criminal case against george zimmerman is over wh

. >> marsha, here are the charges that the jury will consider. second-degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, and manslaughter, which if done with a firearm, has a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. so if they convict on either one, it is significant punishment. clearly it doesn't return any kind of life to the family because they've lost their son and brother. but it clearly is punishment. >> that's true. and it's significant. and, you know, the problem is that in every murder case, we cannot bring the victim back. i mean, ultimate justice would be the victim comes back. but we can't do that. so the only thing you can do is punish the defendant with a significant punishment as the conviction warrants. in this case, either conviction is going to wind up a very significant sentence for him. and i think that's appropriate. >> ken, you know the prosecutor talked today about assumptions. he said that george zimmerman made that he shot trayvon martin a lot of assumptions. listen to this. >> this defendant made the wrong

joining me from washington is chair of the congressional black caucus, ohio congresswoman marsha fudge us. i want to say we brought on you because you have the opportunity and talk about meeting with the president this past week. but since we have the verdict now of the george zimmerman trial, what is your reaction to what we all know and what questions we all might have as a country now? >> well, first off, thank you for having me. i am certainly disheartened and troubled by the decision. but i have to say that he was found not guilty, mr. zimmerman was found not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. he was not found innocent. i think all of the facts that i know, that i'm aware of, is that there was a young man walking in his neighborhood, walking to his house, unarmed and someone decided he looked suspicious. now mr. trayvon martin is dead. and what i could see of the trial, they put him on trial. not mr. zimmerman. they put a young, black boy on trial for being in his own neighborhood walking home from the store. >> so, as we look at this, though, to have to accept it judicially as a c

we'll try to get marsha clark or lisa bloom.k he's going to walk. lisa bloom said she thinks the defense had a couple of disastrous days. >> how can you miss it, every cable channel is running it 24/7. >> it's incredible to me is the screaming thing. yes, the guy with the gun is screaming. >> help, i got a gun. >> and then stops immediately after the gunshot. it's hard to figure out who that could have been. then they tried to put trayvon's father on the stand. that's what lisa bloom was talking about to make it--literally he's grief stricken. he's hearing tape for the first time of his son's last moments of course he's like--he didn't say definitively that's his son. they said he put his head down, and i guess the cop took that as a no, that's not my son. but that's ridiculous to have that and to introduce that he had marijuana in his bloodstream. how is that relevant? >> he had a little bit of thc. it's not pcp. it doesn't make you crazy. >> the whole thing to me, it's so counter intuitive. he clearly racially profiled this ki

and i was listening to our buddy marsha clark and there are a lot of inconsistencies.mmeled or whatever his story is. you know, on the tapes several times he refers to trayvon as the suspect. first of all, deputy dog he's not suspected of anything of anyone except for you, mall cop. >> he's mall cop. >> stephanie: barney fife. we got the suspect. >> barney fife had a badge. this guy had nothing. >> stephanie: he was in trouble when his legal team quit last year with a phone call to hannity that had not been authorized. this is his legal representation incredible. and they made it into a racial thing. all right. byron in detroit you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi, byron. >> caller: how are you doing. i'm kind of nervous first-time caller. >> stephanie: don't be nervous. >> caller: i'm calling about paula dean. i'm not mad about how she used the n-word, it was the way she treated people. >> that's what she was on trial for, the way she treated her employees. >> caller: you can call me the n-word but don't treat me like the n-word. >> stephanie: her brother was obv
