that is something she will be asked about today. >> let's bring in vinnie politan.hey talking about at the bar? any guess? >> yeah, it's something that they don't want us to hear and they don't want the jury to hear, as well. i'm not sure what they're talking about. what i'm thinking about right now as i look at that picture. sybrina fulton sitting there in that witness chair and waiting for this moment. my goodness, what this whole thing has done to her life and now she's in a courtroom, she wants justice for the killing of her son and it's going to be her moment and now she just has to sit there and wait while the judge and the lawyers discuss whatever they're discussing. the most dramatic moment of this trial to date. >> let me ask you this real quick. this coming from me, i'm, obviously, not a lawyer, have not been in a courtroom like this. how do you balance when you are -- when you are speaking to a jury. how do you balance clearly the emotion that you're going to feel when you're watching this mother who has lost her son testify with the facts. that is not to

let's bring in vinnie politan, vin vinny, thanks for bringing us this interview. case and she certainly seemed very powerful in the interview with you. what's your take on why she didn't try it? >> she doesn't try all the cases. she's the boss, right? there's people that she trusts, like bernie, who's been doing this for 30 years. so she generally doesn't try cases, although there is one she's going to try in september, which is a similar case, which is jordan davis as the victim, dunn as the defendant. so she does get in the courtroom once in awhile, but generally that's not her role in the office. but, yeah, you're correct. she's passionate and she is very, very well spoken and persuasive. >> vinnie, what about using the word murderer, is there ethical considering about that when the prosecutor uses that word? >> i was thinking about it, then i took a step back and thought more about it. if she didn't say that, you know, if she said, innocent man, if she said, not guilty, then people would be all over for saying, well, you accused him of murder, how dare you, yo

bernie de la rionda, the lead prosecutor in the case and his boss angela corey sat down with hln's vinnie politanvinnie asked them a crucial question about the defendant and the victim. you have to hear what their answers were. >> one word to describe george zimmerman. >> murderer. >> george zimmerman. >> lucky. >> trayvon benjamin martin. >> i don't know there's one word that can describe -- a victim. >> trayvon benjamin martin. >> prey, p-r-e-y. >> you can see more on our sister network hln. the show 10:00 p.m. eastern, "hln after dark." >>> we're also hearing from the defense in this trial. george zimmerman's lead attorney mark o'meara sat down with our chris cuomo. chris zeroed in on something a lot of people want to know. is george zimmerman sorry about what happened? listen to this. >> does he regret, though, picking out trayvon martin? he was wrong, right? this kid was not doing anything wrong. he belonged there. he had a right to the place and space where he was also. does he regret even singling him out that night. >> well, let's look at the circumstances as he was viewing them. he saw s

we have smart people, danny cevallos, defense attorney and vinnie politan host of hln's "after dark" nie, the decision to use the videotaped interview by the prosecution, what was the upset, what'd they get out of it? >> there's a huge doneside. >> i said upside, vinnie. give me the upside. >> i'm saying there's a huge downside. the upside you talk about the bushes, he said in this first interview that trayvon martin jumped out of the bushes, then we they go back during the re-enactment i think he knows why he said that, there aren't any bushes in that area to jump out of so that's a big point for prosecutors, and it's going to be tough, though, because now you don't get to cross-examine him, chris. >> exactly right but you take in danny's point, that's why i cut you off, you can't get both points. >> so danny can give me his time. >> vinnie, you got your own show. danny, let me ask you the downside on this. vinnie is making the point, now they don't get to cross-examine george zimmerman. he may not have to testify. what do you think? >> well, actually i think vinnie makes probably th

we'll break it down with our team of analysts, we have sunny hostin, vinnie politan, danny dr evallosf course nancy grace. >> a powerful moment, two american presidents half a world away meeting in africa to remember the u.s. citizens who lost their lives in an attack 15 years ago. we'll go there live and much more from cnn's exclusive interview with former president george w. bush. >>> a teen has been in jail for five months after he made a joke about a school shooting online. he was explicit that it was a joke so why is he still in jail? his father is live and will discuss that. >> interesting conversation kate will have, something's wrong, when does it become a

vinnie politan. you guys have switched sides but did you not fool me.ou both here. the drugs, why should they have come in here, how are they helpful instead of just prejudicial to the victim? >> well, the problem is the way the judge read the case law down in florida that she was compelled to have to allow this in. this allows the defense to trash trayvon martin, to portray him as someone who was fueled by marijuana in this vicious attack on george zimmerman. that's what they're going to argue and that's what the jury is going to end up hearing and the bottom line is you put marijuana into trayvon martin's system in front of this jury, it's a bad day for prosecutors. >> danny, can you prove to me that he had smoked immediately before this? can you prove to me that marijuana made him in a rage? >> you know, that is a really good point because marijuana is unique from other drugs in that you can test positive for marijuana but not be intoxicated. you don't have that with most other drugs. if you have alcohol in your blood you are on some level intoxicate

earlier this morning prosecutors sat down with vinnie politan from our sister station hln. i want you to take a listen. >> you know, we're stuck with the evidence we have. we would -- >> are you being nice right now? >> well, no. this is the truth. you know, we don't get to pick our witnesses. we've got to deal with what we've got and we've got to do the best we can. >> there was a wealth of hard, cold physical evidence, dna and everything else, that showed that george zimmerman lied in his statements to the police. >> there was no sort of narrative that this jury could follow, that america could follow. >> well, the problem you've got in the trial is you can't say jury don't speculate and then ask them to speculate. and so we're left with the defendant's story, and what we attempted to do as best we could is to prove that his story was false. therefore, why would he be lying about something? something minor like trying to get an address. i mean, i thought that was blatantly obviously a lie. and when i was talking to the jury, when i was arguing to the jury, i saw them nodd
