that's the tough thing to the deal with for his mother and father. >> sybrina fulton, a mother knowshild's voice. you have said from the start that that was trayvon on that 911 tape that we hear crying, screaming for help during this incident. we just presented two audio experts who insist to their 99% certainty, legal certainty that that voice is not robert zimmerman. there's only one other voice that it can be on the scene. how does it feel for you tonight to be vindicated on this point as far as the evidence has so far developed, based on what we know so far that everything indicates that you are absolutely right that the cries for help you were hearing were from your son? >> it just means that what i've said earlier is being supported by experts. it's just good to know that other people are accepting what i said and they are not just taking anything that they hear. i did say that was my son, and i truly believe that is my son. i'm agreeing with the ex experts that is my son. >> benjamin crump, thank you for joining us and tracy martin and saab sybrina fulton, thank you for coming

parents of trayvon martin, tracy martin and sybrina fulton along with their attorney benjamin crump. thank you for joining me tonight. >> thank you, lawrence. >> i want to the take us back to the first thing we ever heard from the other parents in this case, the father of george zimmerman. he wrote a letter to the local paper down there. it was very short. it had some emotion in it. in it he said, out of respect for the ongoing investigation i will not discuss specifics. then he went on to say one specific thing about the evidence. at no time did george follow or confront mr. martin. tracy martin, as the other father in this case, when you read that and then you hear a 911 tape of george zimmerman huffing and puffing as he is obviously chasing your son, what would you like to say back to mr. zimmerman about this first assertion of his that his son didn't even chase your son? >> i would ask him did he actually listen to the audio? and was he listening to the same tape that we were listening to? >> and i want us all to listen to a piece of tape of an interview that mr. zimmerman then d

. >> and, of course, trayvon's mother also sybrina fulton was also on "today" and talking about whatve that it just got out of control and he couldn't turn the clock back. i would ask him, did he know that that was a minor, that that was a teenager and that he did not have a weapon? i would ask him that i understand his family is huring but think about our family that lost our teenage son. i mean, it's just very difficult to live with day in and day out. i'm sure his parents can pick up the phone and call him, but we can't pick up the phone and call trayvon anymore. >> joanne reed, she said it more eloquently than anyone could, what would she say to george zimmerman? and the answer is, she can't talk to her son any longer. >> yeah, absolutely. and, andrea, i think among many x-factors that took this from another case of a young person killed or somebody killed, to being an international issue, was that compelling picture of a mom and dad talking about, as they've called him their baby, and i think sybrina fulton has become a very compelling figure, even to angela corey at the end of

sybrina fulton and tracy martin were in attendance when zimmerman turned himself in. they have been pushing for an arrest, but they're also calling for supporters to remain calm. >> i feel a sense of relief to know that zimmerman is off the street and he can't do this to somebody else's kid right now. >> we're not promoiding violence with violence. >> much more on george zimmerman's arrest coming up on the "today" show, including a live interview with trayvon martin's parents. that's coming up at 7:00. >>> 6:45. new this morning, a stabbing respondent sitting in a d.c. jail cell. police found the victim stabbed in the chest and back in the northeast. we're still working to figure out what the victim's condition is at this hour. there's no word on who the victim is or the suspect is. >>> more details about a meth lab bust in adams more gachblt police arrested one man in an apartment on summit place in northwest washington. officers say they were searched a warrant when they came across a meth lab in the kitchen. right now one man is in custody. >>> a bizarre bank robbe

sybrina fulton and tracy martin watched. they're remaining calm and allowing it to play out in court. >> i'm feeling at peace knowing zimmerman's off the street and can't do this to someone else's kid. >> we're not promoting violence with violence. >>

joining me now is sybrina fulton and tracy martin and their attorney benjamin crump. another difficult day for you. every day is bringing new twists and turns to this. what do you make and let me start with you, sybrina, perhaps. what do you make of the events today? the lawyers now apparently turning their backs on george zimmerman revealing as they did so that they don't really know where he is or what his state of mind is. >> that concerns us a great deal as parents that they don't know where he is. they should be close to him and in close contact with him and able to have communication. so it does bother us to know that they don't know where he is. >> tracy, we're being told angela corey who is the state attorney there is preparing a news conference in the next two or three days. do you get a sense of anxiety that this is all getting out of control? and that someone needs to take control of george zimmerman in particular very quickly? >> yeah. he definitely need to be contained. i think he needs to be in reach for his lawyers not to know where he at, that doesn't s

. >> sybrina fulton, i'm struck in that by him saying, i didn't mention it to the police. i didn't mention it to the state attorney's office. that, to me, is an answer to the question of did he talk to the police and did he talk to the state attorney's office. it seems to me, within that answer, is the obvious implication that this former judge was there at that time and that night and having conversations with the police and the state attorneys office. is that what you think you just heard him say it. >> implies that he did speak to them and it imlies he may have talked about certain things but he mentioned that this is not one of the things he did not mention, his position. but i'm pretty sure they knew who he was because they knew the son. >> sybrina, as the mother of the victim that night, would you have liked to have gotten a chance to talk to the police and the prosecutor that night? >> i would have loved to be given the opportunity to talk to the police department, just to find out what was going on, exactly what happened. and it probably would have eased my mind a

martin's mother, sybrina fulton, says it's her son's voice. >> we have a long journey in order to finish what we set out to do and that's to get justice for trayvon. >> reporter: if convicted he faces 25 years to life in prison. an attorney for the martin family says they want to repeal or amend florida's stand your ground laws as part of trayvon martin's legacy. >> manuel gallegus in sanford, florida. >>> now to politics and the fight for women. four years ago, 53% of the votes were cast by women and 56% of them went for mr. obama. that's why a full-blown campaign war has erupted over comments made by a democratic strategist about mitt romney's wife. nancy cordes has that story. >> reporter: it started when democratic commentator hilary rosen said mitt romney's wife, ann, had no experience in the working world. >> guess what, his wife has never worked a day in her life. she's never dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing. >> reporter: rosen is not connected to the obama campaign but republicans called out the campaign anyway. romne

just moments ago we spoke on the phone with sybrina fulton and tracey martin.we told them weeks ago that we would get answers for their questions no matter where the quest led us. and it is the search for justice for trayvon that has brought us to this moment. the team here with me has worked tirelessly looking for answers in trayvon martin's death. i want to introduce to you one of my top homicide prosecutors, and john guide, my other top homicide investigator. also is jim madden from the florida department of law enforcement, dominic pate, our sheriff john rutherford. we appreciate so much all of their cooperation in this. i especially want6ii to thank m two investigators who have spent countless hours doing what they do best, investigating homicides. allow me to take a moment to acknowledge our governor, rick scott and his office, attorney general pam bondi, andç bobby o'neil for their continuing support of the appointment of this case and the support of the investigation. we spoke with all of them briefly and informed them of the results of our investigati

we'll go to martin's mother, sybrina fulton.d morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> thank you for joining us. how do you feel about this prosecutor's decision not to go to the grand jury? >> i just feel that it's going to give the -- miss corey's office the chance to do a thorough investigation and it will be in her hands. >> do you have confidence in her? >> what we believe is by her not sending it to a grand jury, charlie, that she has enough evidence to make an arrest of george zimmerman, the killer of trayvon martin. we've always believed there have been enough evidence and in the last 43 days we think it's gotten more compelling that he at least needs to be arrested. he'll have his day in court that sybrina and tracy have said, they just want justice. >> when you ask why has he not been arrested, what do they tell you? >> they basically say that they're still having ongoing investigations and that it's still ongoing. they haven't really given us any answers and we feel, you know, in search of what happened, really.

perhaps the one thing that i think that was most striking is that he was very sensitive to what sybrina fulton said on the "today" show when she used the word accident concerning the shooting. that statement from him goes to show i guess a little of the personality of who this attorney is representing george zimmerman. >> okay. thank you very much. the first court appearance, it is only of course the beginning of what could be a long legal process. the next step is an arraignment where zimmerman is expected to plead not guilty. he will then be entitled to a hearing where a judge will decide whether there is enough evidence to support his claim of self-defense. if there is, he will be granted munlt. if not, both sides will start preparing for a trial. joining me now, nationally syndicated talk show host, msnbc contributor michael customsmerc. we heard he will try to have bond set for mr. zimmerman at a later date. he said in a few weeks. as you pointed out to kerry, in his own words, not wanting this case to be piecemealed. he doesn't want the information being leaked out or made accessible to

. >> moments ago sybrina fulton stepped forward before the cameras here in washington. her reaction. >> first of all, i want to say thank god. we simply wanted an arrest. we wanted nothing more, nothing less, we just wanted an arrest and we got it. and i say thank you. thank you, lord. thank you, jesus. >> sybrina fulton, trayvon martin's mother moments ago quite emotional. jeffrey toobin, sunny hostin, congressman sheila jackson lee. jeffrey, a legal action. the justice department has a civil rights investigation on going to determine if this is a state crime. if the state files charges, does the justice department continue at full speed or wait until the stoout state prosecution is done before it proceeds. >> in practical terms, they wait. they see how the original case plays out. that doesn't mean they stop investigating, but almost certainly there will be no federal charges filed while this homicide case is being worked through. the florida courts, and there won't be any resolution of the federal investigation until after we see how the florida case is resolved. >>

joining me this morning are trayvon's parents, tracy martin and sybrina fulton along with their attorneyin crump. and we're going to talk specifically about special prosecutor angela corey and her investigation in a moment. but first, about this website, zimmerman calls the night of february 26th a life-altering event. he talks about losing his job, losing money, among other things. sybrina, what is your reaction to george zimmerman starting this website, and how do you feel that he is overtly asking people for money? >> this is america, so people can do as they please. we don't particularly agree with it. and our life has changed on february 26th forever. this is not just life changing for us. life ended for trayvon martin. so this has affected us very deeply. >> tracy, there is a section of the site titled "the facts." and on it zimmerman has but a quote from james w. lohan say people have a right to their own opinions, but not facts. evidence cannot be given much weight. zimmerman there seems to be saying that the evidence is not going to be on his side. what is your response to that?

it also says sybrina fulton, martin's mother, identified screams heard in the background on a 911 call as her son's. the defense will rely on florida's so-called "stand your ground" law, which gives people wide latitude to use deadly force rather than retreat if they feel reasonably threatened for their lives. >> this is just the first stage. we have a long journey in order to finish what we set out to do, and that's to get justice for trayvon. >> reporter: are you concerned you can get a fair trial anywhere? >> i... i'm concerned about it. i'm going to trust the process like i'm asking everybody else to. if, along the way, i find that there has been so much negative publicity or so much vitriol about the situation that we can't, we'll have to deal with it. >> pelley: mark strassmann is joining us now in sanford, florida. mark, what sort of conditions is he being held in tonight? >> reporter: scott, the sheriff here won't discuss jail security very much, but we do know for his protection, zimmerman is living alone in a cell built for two, and, without bail, he'll be behind bars for the

tracy martin and sybrina fulton had been vocal in calling for an arrest. angela corey, the special prosecutor, called the parents just before the news conference to let them know about her decision. today prosecutor corey called them "those sweet parents." this is one of those case casest has captured the attention of the entire country and reached all the way to the white house. president obama said this when he was asked about the case last month. >> my main message is to the parents of trayvon martin. if i had a son, he'd look like trayvon. >> pelley: with us now are cbs news senior correspondent john miller, a former assistant director of the f.b.i., and former prosecutor jack ford, a cbs news legal analyst. jack, why second degree murder? >> here's the thing, scott. first degree murder is all about premeditation. that means you intend to kill somebody. even if you develop that intention just a split second before you did it and you follow through it. second degree murder doesn't have the premeditation. so you're not intending to kill someone, you may

tracy martin and sybrina fulton had been vocal in calling for an arrest. angela corey, the special prosecutor, called the parents just before the news conference to let them know about her decision. today prosecutor corey called them "those sweet parents." we wanted nothing more, nothing less, we just wanted an arrest and wexd got i. and i say thank you. thank you, lord, thank you, jesus. >> with us now are cbs news senior correspondent, miller, assistant director of the fbi, former, and former prosecutor jack ford, cbs news analyst, why second-degree murder. >> it is all about premeditation, what that means is you intend to kill somebody, even if you develop that intention a split second before you do it and follow through with it, second-degree murder doesn't have the premeditation, so if you don't intend to kill somebody you intend to hurt them badly and they die as a result but it is the absents of the premeditation that drops it down down a notch. >> pelley: this case has been under review for weeks but there seemed to be a rush to get to this news co

just moments ago we spoke by phone with sybrina fulton and tracy martin. it was less than three weeks ago that we told those sweet parents that we will get answers to all of their questions no matter where our quest for the truth led us and it is our search for justice for trayvon that has brought to us this moment. the team here with me has worked tirelessly looking for answers in trayvon martin's death. i want to introduce to you bernie delarianda, one of my top homicide prosecutors, and john guy, my other top homicide prosecutor who will lead this investigation. with us also is jim madden from the florida department of law enforcement, dominic tate, also one of our special agents in charge, our sheriff john rutherford and our undersheriff duane centerfit. we appreciate so much all of their cooperation in this and i especially want to thank my two state attorney investigators, t.c.el elsteen and gail gill breath. let me acknowledge our governor rick scott and our u.s. attorney bobby o'neil for their continuing support of our appointment to this case and

normally sybrina fulton is the person who is the more emotional one. and today it was really hard to sit by tracy martin as he hears information about the killing of his son. and see him so full of emotion. sybrina was comforting him. >> natalie jackson, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> with me now are two former florida judges carrie mills francis and silas. you're both very aware of florida law. it seems this will all come down to the stand your ground law and its application. first let me ask you judge larry what you thought of what happened in court. george zimmerman being set on bail of $150,000. would you have expected that knowing florida law as you do? >> well, it was a discretionary call by the judge. the judge has to -- has to be proved in front of the court -- other than beyond a reasonable doubt like we have in a judge trial. here it has to be a great presumption that he's guilty of the crime. and then if there's substantial discrepancies in the evidence, the defendant has a right to bail. and here there was substantial discrepancies.

sybrina fulton. she walked in the courtroom minutes ago. she didn't say a word. the family and her attorney were asked about this concept actually meeting with the man who admits killing their son but independence chra it was self-defense. and they say, about that proposal, they are very skeptical. >> we believe zimmerman's request at this time is very self-serving some 50 days later, the day before his bond hearing. sybrina is a christian lady. tracy, there are good people. there may be a time and a place for that. >> reporter: that's a live shot inside the courtroom right now. we are about to commence, just about every seat is full in that courtroom and we can just imagine everybody in there right now looking for the moment when george zimmerman walks in there and how tracy martin there on your left and his ex-wife, sybrina fulton, the mother of trayvon martin will react when they see george zimmerman. there is george zimmerman shackled by the hands, wearing a suit, sitting down for his bond hearing. that is the man focus for past six weeks. marchers nationwide

and said that to trayvon martin's mother sybrina fulton.harpton saul -- saw that and referenced it. >> i even saw with bill o'reilly should sabrina apologize for me. i don't know what i'm supposed to ask for. all i asked for was arrest and all ski for peace. bill and i go to dinner all the time. we have a relationship. >> bill: here now to analyze juliet huddy. >> bill: not going to dinner all the time once in a while and i like to talk to sharpton. he is an interesting guy. but, he doesn't know what he has to apologize for? he just said on tv we just showed it almost like the barney frank thing. the murder of. he convicted the man, absolutely convicted him and that's my beef and you say? >> i agree with you. the problem is as a leader and respected leader in the african-american community he has the ability to be able to reach people and impact people when he says things, he says, you know, the murder weapon never basis for self-defense. it's a hate crime. he is convicted as you said. george zimmerman without any trial. it's irresponsible.

joining me now are trayvon martin's mother, sybrina fulton, his brother jahvaris, and family attorney benjamin crump. i appreciate all you being here. sybrina, i wonder, did you watch the hearing today? did you actually see george zimmerman in court? >> we watched certain parts of it, but we didn't actually sit down and see the whole thing. >> what is that like to see it? this is something you've been wanting for so long, ever since your son was killed. >> it actually helps a little to see that the person that shot and killed trayvon will be held accountable for what he has done. >> jahvaris, as a brother, what is it like to see that? >> relief that it's happened, you know. we finally are starting to get some justice for my brother. so i'm happy about that. >> yeah. benjamin, for you, this is really just the first step. >> yes, sir. anderson, this is the first base, really, in the true sense of the word in this case, because we have this stand your ground law, and that's going to be second base. and we've got to get through that before we can get to actually prosecution and the jury.

. >> here's trayvon's mother, sybrina fulton. >> we are happy that he was arrested. one of the things that i still believe is a person should apologize when they are actually remorseful for what they have done. i believe it was an accident. i believe that it just got out of control and he couldn't turn the clock back. i would ask, did he know that that was a minor, that that was a teenager and that he did not have a weapon? >> she later said she didn't really mean it was an accident. explain this. >> well, clearly -- let me put it in the context. i was there in the studio in d.c. when she made the statement on the "today" show. first of all, she was rather clear that tracy had made some comments about mr. zimmerman getting out of the vehicle early in that conversation. she was piggybacking on that. so when she made that, he should not have gotten out of the car, the truck, excuse me, and he did. so that part was the encounter itself was an accident. not the shooting. it's rather clear and uncontroverted that he meant to shoot trayvon. he has not denied that. >> defen

tracy martin and sybrina fulton, thank you so much, especially for joining us, benjamin crump as well, thank you so much for this. and obviously, this is the beginning of a long road ahead. we really appreciate your time this morning and perspective. it is now 7:13. once again here's carl. >>> savannah guthrie is "today's" legal correspondent. good morning to you. >> morning. >> just heard sybrina refer to it as an accident. that certainly isn't what the charge would reflect from the point of view of the special prosecutor. >> the charge is much more serious. it alleges an intentional act, one with a depraved state of mind, ill will, spite. the prosecutor certainly believes that she has proof beyond a reasonable doubt to establish the elements of second-degree murder, but sometimes there are strategic reasons, too, that a prosecutor pushes the toughest charge. if later at trial a jury wants to compromise, they have somewhere to go perhaps down to manslaughter. and also sometimes you see it as a negotiating tactic if there's a plea bargain at issue. there's somewhere to go, some middle

sybrina fulton and tracy martin were at the national network conference when there was a formal charge. they're calling on supporters to remain calm and allow the case to play out in peace. >> i'm feeling a sense of relief right now to know that zimmerman is off the street and he can't possibly do this to somebody else's kid right now. >> we're not promoting violence with violence. we're certainly promoting peaceful resolutions. >> martin's parents also thanked their supporters and those who protested in their favor. stay with "news 4" for continuing coverage on the trayvon martin case and the latest for this afternoon's hearing. you can join in on the conversation on our facebook page. >>> a man accused of abducting two women and sassaulting them was arrested. investigators say click lured two women into a vacant building tuesday night. they thought they were there to see an available apartment. those women were able to escape without life-threatening injuries. >>> d.c. police have one man in custody in connection to a murder in northeast washington. investigators say a man was shot a
