o.j. simpson case. the complete reverse, where most black people polled said, the guy's innocent. most white people said, he's guilty. so you get these cases, which for whatever reason, hit a nerve. we knew why with o.j., but with trayvon martin -- you're the father of three, one a teenaged boy of 15. not far away from trayvon's age. what do you make of it? as a parent and an american? >> i had that conversation with my son. when this hit the news, i watch you all the time and watch this network all the time, but when the story hit, my son -- before it became a huge awareness in people's minds, but my son was traveling to florida for the first time, he's 15, flying by himself for the first time. i'm here in new york rehearsing for the lay. i sent him this long text just to let him know that not everybody, unfortunately, is going to see the brilliance and the genius and the beauty of your brown skin. that's the sad reality. and you have to understand that there are those who will not see that and if you're ever confronted in a situation like trayvon martin must have been, your job

o.j. simpson, scott peterson. mark geragos. it's going to be a fascinating day tomorrow because the judge has changed. the new judge has a reputation of being pretty tough, pretty used to high-profile cases. what do you think that means for the possibility of george zimmerman being released on bail? >> in some ways, this is the perfect judge, if you're a defense lawyer, to have make this decision. nobody is going to say that he's bending over backwards for the defense. he's not a soft touch for the defense by all accounts. i don't know him and haven't appeared in front of him. by all accounts if he makes a decision under what they call this arthur hearing and he says, well, i think that i'm going to grant bail and put restrictions on it, whether it's electronic monitoring or house arrest or anything else, i don't think he would be second guessed. i think people would say, well, he's following the law or doing what he thinks is right. >> is it likely, do you think, all things considered he'll be released? >> i think all things c

o.j. simpson defense team. and this rhymes me of that, in the sense that mr. zimmerman, trayvon martin were not celebrities and they are not celebrities, but this is obviously the eye of the storm. it's a different situation than someone like lindsay lohan or charlie sheen. and what mr. o'mara, i believe his name is, needs to do right now is try to shift sort of the public perception. we see these sweet, innocent pictures of trayvon martin, and he needs to try to humanize his client. and i think he started to do that today. >> certainly a case to say that the media battles so far, the pr battle, if you'd like, is it's not a phrase you like to use in such a serious case, but it's a fact that the media are being led in certain ways. certainly trayvon martin's family, the way they've conducted themselves, compared to the way that the previous attorneys, i felt, for george zimmerman, really did him no favors, has definitely led to certain perceptions. let's take a break. i want to come back and get into the police investigation right from the start and how flawed

o.j. simpson case. a lot of cases -- >> i remember where i was -- >> erin, she was asked to leave the meeting, by the way. it really got pretty heated because, you know, her agenda was different. you know, i'm a resident there. i have been there for six years. >> right. >> she's been there a little under three years. so she really didn't have the slightest iota as far as the extent of the criminal activity that had been perpetrated in our neighborhood over the prior six years. >> you know, it's one of the things too, it's why i think this has got to be a public trial. i think we have got to see the documents released, see all of the testimony. if it's an open proceeding and you see a judge who's fair and give everybody their say, it will do a lot to help the system. >> it will help with the passions and frustration. thanks so much to you, paul, and thank, thank you for coming on. >>> we're going to take a brief break. we'll be back. a chilling video about the wife of bashar al assad.

o.j. simpson story, you don't get the guilty in the criminal but you could get it in the civil. it's not that common, but there are certain cases that people become so emotional about. i had two attorneys in my law firm today, i thought they were going to get into a fistfight about this very case. passions are so high. on one side people think zimmerman acted properly. on the other people think that it was, you know, a terrible misuse of force and that zimmerman should be arrested. feelings are very, very high on both sides. in that kind of case, you might get an award from a civil jury even if no arrest is made. >> paul callan, thank you. >> nice being with you. >>> now to our outer circle, where we with reach out to our sources around the world. we begin in pakistan, where a judge has sentenced several of osama bin ladin's family members to 45 days under house arrest for living in the country illegalpyp i asked what will happen to osama bin ladin's wives after they serve their time? >> reporter: erin, yemen has made it clear it will take back one of bin laden's yemeni wives bu

o.j. simpson case, there was all sorts of arguments about how the blood was accurately collected. there may be similar types of arguments underlying the defense here. i think it's one reason why ms. whitfield is quite correct that the 911 tapes are probably going to play a critical role here because it's the one piece of evidence which isn't going to be altered. but it is going to be... it could play a role in the case in terms of the defense saying that they did not do... lay the proper ground work so how can we accept much of the evidence later brought in, especially interviews with witnesses where they may have made inconsistent statements on what the police said they said and they're saying. >> woodruff: finally, lynn whitfield, this case has received so much public attention. how do you see that affecting trayvon martin's... the case against george zimmerman and his killing and zimmerman's ability to get a fair trial? >> well, i think the fact that it's received so much public attention will play a part as it relates to jury selection because you're going to have to try to fi

o.j. simpson case where we see the racial divide, two americas at work, where black america is experiencingndous pain because of the situation not simply because, you know, a boy was dehumanized and his body destroyed, and the local justice system shrugged. but then weto scream so loud and so long just to get the powers that be just to take a serious look at whether or not we should have the justice system involved in this. and then we had to have trayvon martin and his family prove to be almost perfect americans, with almost blemishless past, and the parents had to be strong and show that they had character and seem that they were together that it's not another broken black family. if and we didn't have all that, we we would not be integritying for justice. >> schieffer: let me just be the devil's advocate here and say is it possible that this is-- as tragic as it was-- that this was just a case of mistaken identity. oftentimes when people have guns they make mistakes. >> surely it's the case of mitaken identity in that an isn't black boy walking home is viewed as a criminal as if being a

o.j. simpson story, you don't get the guilty in the criminal but you could get it in the civil.n is that? >> it's not that common, but there are certain cases that people become so emotional about. i had two attorneys in my law firm today, i thought they were going to get into a fistfight about this very case. passions are so high. on one side people think zimmerman acted properly. on the other people think that it was, you know, a terrible misuse of force and that zimmerman should be arrested. feelings are very, very high on both sides. in that kind of case, you might get an award from a civil jury even if no arrest is made. >> paul callan, thank you. >> nice being with you. >>> now let's check in with wolf blitzer because he's in for anderson cooper for "ac 360" tonight. >> erin, thanks very much. we'll have more ahead on the breaking news. a deadly shooting at a college in california. a suspect is in custody, but a stunned community is searching for answers as to why anyone would target the small christian school. we'll have a live report. >>> also tonight, anderson is debuti

o.j. simpson we have seen one thing.have shown, no matter what the polls are, african-americans think one thing on a particular issue involving race or whether where race plays a part in it and whites say another thing, so now we come to this pew poll. i am not surprised. reading a lot of the coverage and reading what comments are saying and what readers are saying and viewers are saying, i began to note early on, many whites and i don't want to over generalize, essentially saying we have doubts about zimmerman. maybe it didn't happen. maybe trayvon martin wasn't the choir boy and angel we thought. right away a bell and whistle went off to say, you know what, we have another racial divide in the making. >> you know, this question of do you think there is too much coverage, it is intriguing for many reasons, earl, because you have an opportunity for responsible reporting, getting evidence out, facts because if it were not for the exposure quite honestly that we have seen, the trayvon martin's parents, coming to the media

o.j. simpson double murder trial. but on saipan was a very beautiful sunday morning. and a small plane, a vintage plane took off from the airport there were two very important people on board. one was the speaker of the house of the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands, and the other was larry hillblom, who is better known as the h. in dhl. the plane was going to when the northernmost islands but nobody was quite sure why they thought he was interested in building an eco-resort there where they would like us and cori. but regardless, the plane every turn. this wasn't a particularly big surprise because he was known to buy really crappy airplanes. and to not maintain a. in fact, one of the islands they float over on the way had a crash, an airplane that hillblom had crashed about a year and a half before and nearly killed himself and. so number of his friends had declined to make the trip with him that morning, and no one was terribly shocked that this plane had also gone down. however, it was a real shock that larry hillblom was suddenly gone. he had arrived i
