shortly after they received the evidence and informed judge nelson they were done for the day. they'll go home until tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. and will begin deliberating once again. we should note here that judge nelson is leavinging this essentially up to the jury how long they'll deliberate, when they start, when theyal start their day. when they will end their day. so it will be interesting to see me sizely how long they go until tomorrow. you mentioned the courthouse for all practical intents and purposes, it is clear right now. law enforcement has left for the night. so have the handful of demonstrators who were here. they were the largest number we've seen since the trial started. we're only talking about 21, 2. law enforcement held anous conference encouraging people who live nearby and people around the country, as well to remain calm despite the verdict. i've got to be honest with you, having been here on the ground, having been over to see the protesters, it does appear as if that's a legitimate concern right now. there has not been a great deal of activity in fr

judge nelson admonished him for that.ge melson basically said -- judge nelson said, i trust that both you attorneys know what you're doing. let's not play that game here. right now, mr. mantie, he didn't know if the witness is available, but he would like to be able to call the witness if he chooses. judge nelson indicated moment ago that she wants closing statements to begin tomorrow. she would like the jury to get closing statements tomorrow morning. >> right. the value of arthur fleischmann to the prosecution, this is an individual, an atf agent who arrested george zimmerman in 2005, charges were dropped but his value to the prosecution? >> so i drew a picture in my notes today when dennis root was testifying of a door opening. and that's because when dennis root, the expert witness testified that george zimmerman was not the confrontational type he was not the "i'm going to get on you" type, that was opening the door to exactly this testimony. the judge already said these prior acts of george zimmerman allegedly assau

it appears as if judge nelson is about to start court for the day.is point, we do not note which state witness will be called next. lisa, but at some point, we will obviously be hearing from the medical examiner that conducted the autopsy on trayvon martin. what should we be listening for specifically from that will medical examiner when she testifies? >> the injuries or the lack of injuries on trayvon martin's body and i have reviewed the autopsy report. it indicates that there is a small cut on one of trayvon's fingers. that will bullet hole that took his life. other than that, no injuries. he seemed to have been a healthy 17-year-old boy. and that's something that i think both sides are going to use to argue to their advantage. there's no question that george zimmerman took the life of trayvon martin that night that he shot and killed him. he admitted that immediately. this is not a whodunnit. it's a why did he do it kind of case. the defense will take the lack of injuries to show that george zimmerman was not the aggressor. if as rachel jeantel s

the biggest thing that i get from judge nelson is talking about the issue with intent on this.saying, well, of course there was intent to abuse this child because the gun was fired. so no matter what, if it was a fatal shot or a grazing shot, there was intent here to use this gun to harm the child. am i understanding this correctly? >> you're understanding it perfect perfectly. that's their argument that the use of the gun is not in dispute. it's been clear from every version and all of the evidence that's been introduced that the use of that gun was intentional. it's the circumstances around that intentional use of the gun that will be the issue. but this is exactly why there is so much of a fight over these jury instructions because what we're about to see in the next few hours from the attorneys is a reference to all of the instructions as they're making their arguments to guide the jury to make sure they understand their version and they will be referencing all of the decisions being made right now to give the jury to go back to affirm the arguments that they're going on ma

those who expose corruption are silenced labeled as traitors or terrorists and in fact for decades nelson mandela was officially labeled a terrorist in this country he was on the terror watch list all the way up until two thousand and eight and you know it's quite interesting that obama went to prison in robben island where mandela spent eighteen years of his life for pensive reflection where he called the jail a symbol of injustice i wonder if during that time in the empty cell obama consider the inhumane imprisonment of the one hundred sixty six men who are currently in prison at guantanamo bay tortured force fed all held without trial and with no end in sight but obama's hypocritical rhetoric about looking up to a man who represents everything he's not doesn't come without a sense of irony is the perhaps the most offensive part of obama's. and it was south african apartheid which inspired him to become a politician is this obama currently supports apartheid a system that gives racial discrimination legitimacy is alive and well in a little country called israel and every year three bill

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 that up. we just got some information regarding that. earlier today we were told by law enforcement, law enforcement telling nbc news that they were going to request that judge nelson hold the verdict when it was reached until a weekday. again, out of an abundance of caution, if you will. that's what they indicated to us they were going to do. no word on whether judge nelson ever even got that request, but a short time ago, the public information officer here at the court telling nbc news that if a verdict is reached this weekend, that the court is going to have the verdict read that day. they're not going to be holding the verdict here in sanford, florida. we're also told that we should get, we should get about a 60-minute heads-up before that verdict is shared. >> craig, thanks for the report, as always. we appreciate it. >> thanks. >> for more on today's

we're rejoined by our panel, lisa bloom, tad nelson and karen desoto.ing that surprised me today was the lack of argument by either side, differentiating in their closings between second degree murder and manslaughter. i really think that's an important part of the case, and yet both seemed to stay away from it. what what's your read on that? >> i wanted to hear more on those differentiations. obviously the issue with the second degree murder is the intent. but beyond that, i think the bigger issue is the self-defense. and i really wish both parties had spent more time ar particular rating why the self-defense is successful or why it fails. i brief that's the real legal issue. and that's what i brief the jury is in that room now trying to discuss and trying to figure out whether or not there's a real self-defense and where that failure or success fits in between those two charges. >> tad nelson, i think a difficult aspect for the prosecution's case is that evil intention. in meeting the requirement and that's why they spent so much time as you know on t

many did not expect to be celebrating nelson mandela's 95th. outside of the hospital, a special guard of honor. on life-la has been support, dangerously dangerously frail for six weeks now. after seeingrful him today, his relatives told me that he was improving. >> he is improving. he is improving significantly. he could be able to watch tv. >> he can sit up and he is aware? how soon before he might go home. hopefully it should get better. >> the family was keen to present a united image. they have been feuding about where he should be buried. the brand could be damaged. >> i don't think so. the legacy still exists. i think that that would never be changed. greeted withay is enormous relief. it has also created something close to a frenzy of goodwill. the puppets shows by the police, desmondr the elderly, tutu lending a hand. a grateful nation honors nelson mandela once more. >> a challenge of service. speaking of birthdays, any day now, the next royal air will be born here in britain. sometimes it seems that the whole world is waiting. themsel

even before that, you know, judge nelson extended george zimmerman's curfew. what ended up happening yesterday late into the night, these hearings that were supposed to take 30 minutes, an hour, they ended up spanning two, three, and four hours. don west at one point right before judge nelson left the courtroom, don west was complaining that the pace of the trial was essentially getting to be too much for him. the hearings and the late nights and it was getting to be too much and was pleading for a later start among other things. judge nelson cuts him off midway through his plea and leaves and said they would be back at 8:00 in the morning. she did end up pushing the start time back to 9:00 a.m. but yeah, i mean, to say that nerves are frayed here, tensions are running high, would probably be a bit of an understatement. i do want to talk to you quickly before i send it back. in terms of how the jury is responding to a lot of this -- you know, we spent a lot of time analyzing and parsing what the witnesses say. we're trying to keep a really close eye on what th

he was basically walking in the footsteps of nelson mandela, where nelson mandela spent 18 years of imprisonment. took the first lady and the daughters down to the limestone quarry where he spent many hours doing back breaking work in the hot sun during imprisonment, the president saying nelson mandela going onto become the first black president of the nation was inspiration not just for him but for millions around the world. in a big final speech on the week long journey, tried to use the mandela legacy to talk about how the u.s. wants to help bring the continent up. take a listen. >> if the dignity of the individual is upheld across africa, then i believe americans will be more free as well because i believe that none of us are fully free when others in the human family remain shackled by poverty or disease or oppression. >> now, as part of this commitment the president laid out about $7 million from the u.s. government to help vastly expand the amount of electricity going into sub saharan africa, a big idea the president hopes he can realize in the years ahead. >> and ed, i am reading the pre

judge nelson tends to agree more with the state, which is not uncommon for a judge. something that was on display again today, as she clashed with defense attorney don west over jury instructions. >> i am not giving that instruction. and you can -- >> by not instructing the law of this jury properly on the law -- >> you continually disagree with this court every time i make a ruling. if i have made a mistake in this case, you will appeal. this is my ruling on this issue. >> reporter: but it was this moment after a hearing late into the night that will forever be cemented in trial watcher's minds. >> i am not physically able to keep up this pace. it's 10:00 at night. we started this morning. weekends, depositions at night. >> reporter: she simply decided it was time to go. she may not be warm and fultzy, but judge debra nelson is always on her game. >> when there's a difficult argument, she says i'm going to study it. that night she did and came to court prepared. >> reporter: prepared and ready to rule as she thought the law dictated. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> jo

it was so full that judge nelson had to create some more space. can you shed like on how the verdict will be. >> reporter: gentlemen, just to clear that up, earlier today we were told by law enforcement that they were going to request that judge nelson hold a verdict when it was reached until a weekday. again, out of an abundance of caution, if you will. that's what they indicated to us, they were going to do. no word on whether judge nelson ever even got that request, but a short time ago, the public information officer here at the court telling nbc news that if a verdict is reached this weekend, that the court is going to have the verdict read that day we're also told that we should get about a 60-minute heads-up before that verdict is shared. >> thank you, craig. >>> for more i'm joined by legal analyst lisa bloom, former judge alex ferrer, and -- in his closing arguments the prosecutor drove home one message to the jury -- that zimmerman profiled martin as a criminal. and this is part of his argument to the jury. >> this innocent 17-year-old k

wasoday, nelson mandela sounding upbeat. he isetimes, uncomfortable. but, he is fine. the best gift which he has given to this nation again is the gift of unity. >> that unity may not extend to nelson mandela's relatives but there is say strong desire to focus on his achievement and on his legacy, not on the squabbles of his relatives. tonight, i'm another candlelight vigil for the man in everyone's thoughts. >> you are watching "bbc world news america", still to come -- point and click. the computer mouse has changed our lives. we remember the man who made it all so easy. british police say they have a new evidence in the madeleine mccann case. they have opened a formal investigation into her disappearance. she disappeared and portugal in 2007. sarah campbell reports. >> is now six years since his little girl became the focus of the world's media. shewas nearly four when disappeared from the families ground-floor apartment in the days -- since she disappeared from the families ground-floor apartment. , thee days that followed parents remain suspects. by 2011, there wa
