george zimmerman faces second-degree murder charges.day, the prosecution e-mailed the evidence to members of the media, along with the gruesome picture, it includes george zimmerman's private academic records showing george zimmerman performed poorly in his college courses even going on academic probation. the prosecution tried to recall the e-mail but by then it was too late. i george zimmerman's grades, now, public, and the picture of trayvon martin's body is posted on several blogs online. the question now, will this mistake him or hurt the state's case? we will take it to the legal panel for you. julia, do you think it is plausible that the world now, knowing that george zimmerman was a lousy criminal justice student, the prosecution's idea is to payment this guy as a dummy so you think it is, well, just a mistake? >>guest: well, first of all, i was a criminal justice major, but, no, i'm just kidding. i was, though. first of all, he is not a rocket scientist. is anyone surprised by that? no matter what either side is saying in this

zimmerman claimed he shot martin in self-defense. the chief of police stated that zimmerman had not been charged and was no evidence to dispute his account of the events surrounding the shooting. the file was turned over to the state attorney's office two days later. zimmerman was finally charged with shooting. he is thrown out of jail on bond awaiting trial. on april 9, a reverent filed a lawsuit challenging certain sections of sb 396. the named defendants in the lawsuit are the governor and the state attorney general. there was a motion to dismiss that lawsuit due to lack of standing. that motion is currently pending. that brings us to tonight's discussion. we'll hear about the origins of the stand your ground law. he was born in atlanta and earned his bachelor of science in physics and was commissioned as a u.s. army officer. serving in europe and the persian gulf, he finished nine years of active service in coastal georgia before moving to metro atlanta. first elected to the georgia house of represents in 2004, he serves on the t

the system let george zimmerman go. it is only one we did what we had to do so many times over the last 100 years, when we cry out loud and said no justice, no peace, and marched in the streets did the system work. it only works because we made it work. the idea that those of us in the african-american community should remain idle and passively let the system work is just not a reality for us because we know historically, and even to this day, it works when we make it work. >> on that point you made earlier and that is that we are drawn to a close, we wanted to make sure there was an opportunity for audience participation and any questions you might have. before we run out of time, we would like to offer the audience the opportunity to ask our panelists questions. yes, please? >> professor, if reverend hutchins it did get what he was asking for, it would not change anything since the law existed before hand. am i misunderstanding? if that 2006 law got repealed, it would not have any bearing on anything? >> i think that

turns out zimmerman's attorneys do not want him on the bench.they, quote, lost faith in the objectivity, end quote, of the court and they don't believe zimmerman can get a fair trial with the judge. the judge says i don't think so, refusing to recuse himself and he says zimmerman's request is legally insufficient, end quote, short story. now the defense says not so short a story. they're taking it up a notch to a higher court. they want the higher court to step in and they want to appeal this thing and remove judge lester from the case. so it begs the question, what's the problem with the judge? what difference does it make to this case? the guy with the answer is our senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin. the first thing i thought when they put forth this motion to get rid of judge lester is they mighting going for a stand your ground hearing because it is the judge and the judge alone that decides if this goes to trial or you walk out a free guy. that may not not case here. >> that's right. the defense in this case is weighing whether to have a

he wasn't breaking the law, george zimmerman.e feared that he was being attacked reasonably, i think given the evidence, he was screaming, here you see him recreating the incident. and he responded with deadly force. i think this is a classic case of self-defense. however, he has to prove it in the stand your ground hearing. he's his own best and only witness. he's the only eyewitness to what happened. george zimmerman's credibility is everything in this case. by condoning the lies about his financial worth during the making this judge so angry at him, he has diminished his own credibility. that's why the judge will not grant the stand your ground motion. that's why this is going to trial, but i still believe he has an excellent chance of beating the case despite his own stupidity. despite he failed at strong hee. >> laura: you and -- astronomy. thanks so much. in a moment, a scathing "new york times" piece says olympic track star lolo jones cares more about her own image than her own performance. wow. why the cheap shot? right b
