george zimmerman calls 911 at 7:11. we're trying to find out where is it where all those things that trayvon has supposedly said to him, why isn't that recorded anywhere? that's george zimmerman's word and nobody else. and one more important fact. when you think about this self-defense claim, you've heard his father say his head was beat into the concrete repeatedly over a minute, and then his nose was broke. that videotape, i submit to you, was taken about 35 minutes later, and you know, they tried to enhance it, and try to find a cut on his head, but how bad is it, if they didn't even put a bandaid on it, piers? how much force was asserted? why didn't he go to the hospital if he was beat up that bad? it's one of those things, trayvon martin is dead. he is dead. and you are saying to everybody in the world, i had to kill him because he had busted my head and broke my nose. so we're trying to look at that and it doesn't appear to be there. we are not asking that he is convicted. we only want to have him arrested, so we

where is george zimmerman? if his attorneys or his ex-attorneys, who never seem to have had a retainer with him never actually met him face to face, do not know, because they have seen him in whatever place he is, where he is, don't know where he is, and if the special prosecutor has not met with him face to face, and it would be hard to imagine that the special prosecutor would meet with george zimmerman without his attorneys present. and if they haven't seen him, that means that the special prosecutor is very likely to have not have seen george zimmerman face to face. that means that we are -- we do not know, we have no assurances that anyone knows where george zimmerman is. i am hoping that the state's attorney will step to a mic within this 72 hours and say how it is that we as the public can be assured that somebody is keeping track of george zimmerman, because the man is not charged with a crime at this point. so he's free to move as he pleases. they haven't heard from him in two days, and they want to br

police have not arrested george zimmerman, the man who admits to shoogt george zimmerman. one of the host heated conversations about the trayvon martin case took place right on our air cnn piers morgan and a culture commentator. piers invited robert zimmerman jr. on the show, the brother of george zimmerman. he thought piers could have been tougher on him. and piers challenged him to come on the show. this is combative, but one of the most riveting conversations you're going to see about the trayvon martin case. >> are you saying that robert zimmerman invented his story last night? are you saying his father, an hour before the interview, was asked directly is there an estrangement and said there isn't. is everybody apart from you lying and are you abreast of more information than anybody else in america right now? >> one thing i noticed is obviously the zimmerman family is banding together to keep george out of jail for the rest of his life. so that's quite obvious what their motivation are to say what they're saying. and between robert, george and the father, and the atto

george zimmerman calls 911 at 7:11. we're trying to find out where is it where all those things that trayvon has supposedly said to him, why isn't that recorded anywhere? that's george zimmerman's word and nobody else. and one more important fact. when you think about this self-defense claim, you've heard his father say his head was beat into the concrete repeatedly over a minute, and then his nose was broke. that videotape, i submit to you, was taken about 35 minutes later, and you know, they tried to enhance it, and try to find a cut on his head, but how bad is it, if they didn't even put a band aid on it, piers? how much force was asserted? why didn't he go to the hospital if he was beat up that bad? it's one of those things, trayvon martin is dead. he is dead. and you are saying to everybody in the world, i had to kill him because he had busted my head and broke my nose. so we're trying to look at that and it doesn't appear to be there. we are not asking that he is convicted. we only want to have him arrested, so we

you also have this issue of george zimmerman. let me play quickly, kendall, what his attorney said this morning on the today show recording george zimmerman's whereabouts in all of this. >> i don't believe he is a flight risk. he is not in the area. i can't disclose where he is. he is where he won't be found. he is in contact with fdle. if it becomes necessary to turn himself in, i believe he will do it. i don't believe he will flee the country. >> we don't know if he will be required to turn himself in, if he is going to be charged. what do you make of the situation and i hate to use the word strangest because we're talking about the loss of life as we heard the martin family say but what do you make of these developments? >> it is so extraordinary. you kind of run out of words that his attorneys would be saying to the whole nation that their client is basically hiding. obviously if in fact zimmerman is in touch with fdle and prepared to cooperate with whatever the decision of angela corey is, that's a big plus factor and could

it was something that robert zimmerman, george zimmerman's father said in that same interview and i'm going to quote him now. in what happened after the fact of this incident, he said, quoting, i neverç foresaw so mh hate coming from the president. have you seen any hate coming from the president in regards to this case towards anyone? >> i watched it like most people. i saw some of the comments that were made by a lot of people, including president obama. you know, my opinion doesn't matter but i didn't feel hatred at all. i think what's happened is whenever you have a wound like this and i'm sure mr. zimmerman senior, his swund that he has a son going through what george is going through, that anything can be misinterpreted from a parent's perspective, just like trayvon's family when they are dealing with everything that they are dealing with, any little piece or failure piece of information has got to have an enormous stinging effect on them. but they are the parents involved. they are allowed their emotions. >> mark, when do you expect to have your first meeting with your client

the developments over the last 24 hours is george zimmerman is m.i.a. i am sure you had problem clients yourself. how much damage is zimmerman doing to his case by calling someone like sean honnitie and the special prosecutor and setting up his own website as well. >> i think we don't know and won't know until he is in custody and they have a chance to question him and get a sense of his mental state. one of the tlingz that struck me, martin, is this case continued to unfold and clearly we have a situation here where martin doesn't trust the lawyers. et cetera not trusting their advice. >> zimmerman. >> zimmerman, sorry. a apologize. zimmerman, he clearly doesn't trust the lawyers, not even contacting them and obviously that brings into question what is his mental state and out there and missing in action and whatever the police thought they might be doing at the beginning of all of this and thinking they could just make this all go away, they really made it worse for the martin family and trayvon martin and zimmerman. this is an unusual situation to ha

i said then that trayvon's hoody killed him as surely as george zimmerman did. what i was trying to do was caution parents allowing kids to wear hoodies and in certain circumstances, particularly if they were minority young men was dangerous. but he never intended to hurt feelings and i never intended to hurt your feelings. i want to personally convey my deepest apologies to both of you. i am sorry, tracy, if anything i said added to your misery. >> thank you for the apology. your apology is accepted. let me just add one thing with the wearing of the hoody. i don't think america knows that in fact at the time of the incident when he initially made the call, it was raining. so trayvon had every right to have on his hood. he was protecting himself from the rain. so being a suspicious walking in the rain with your hoody on is a crime, then i guess the world is doing something wrong. >> i hear that. thank you for accepting my apology. on monday attorney ben krump, who is with tracy and sabrina right now, let's take a look at ben there, he will be asking the justice

george zimmerman is behind bars. we also know by her past that she grows very attached to the victim's families and they in turn grow very attached to her. many that continue to stay in touch from previous cases she's handled. >> and so in the meantime as we just heard, zimmerman's attorney talking about how he will formally request this bond hearing, in the meantime he is in presumably this jail in protective custody, one of the reporters throwing out questions about being threatened and i don't know if he was referencing within this jail, certainly probably from the outside. >> right. there are a couple of things we're worried about. this evaluation is handled by the jail and not so much by the attorney. the attorney may of course like to see that his client is being held in protective custody, but it is eventually up to the jail management here as to how he will be housed. what they will do is assessing him medically, assessing him mentally, i am talking george zimmerman, and they will make a determination whether

a friend and neighbor of george zimmerman is speaking out. i talked to frank taaffe, a sport time ago. frank, what's your reaction to george zimmerman being charged? >> anderson, i was stunned, but i wasn't shaken. i had prepared myself. and when i talked to george on monday, i ensured him that no matter what the outcome was, that, you know, i was there for him from the beginning, now and that we'll walk through this together. >> it doesn't shake your belief that he did the right thing? >> not at all. he did the right thing. i still stand by the fact that it's a self defense claim. i'll take that all the way to the courtroom steps. when we're leaving the courtroom and he's pronounced innocent. >> what is it that makes you so sure? >> based on the police narrative, the on the scene police officer, i read the police report over and over again. and when i talked to george on monday, i asked him about that night. and he couldn't go into specifics. so what i did was i read from the narrative the lines which included where the officer on the scene,

leading off tonight, george zimmerman on the stand. it's a well-known principle. defense lawyers don't let their clients testify but today in his bail hearing covered by all three cable networks, george zimmerman took the stand and told the parents of trayvon martin that he was sorry for their loss, that he did not know how old trayvon was and that he thought he was slightly younger than himself. the judge set bail at $150,000. also on trial is florida's stand your ground law. florida led the nation in implementing the law. now that governor rick scott has designated a task force to stand your ground, could it set the stand for repeal or revision? plus, republicans are discouraged about mitt romney's prospects and democrats plan to make them more discouraged. give up the romney is a flip-flopper argument and hold him to all of those right-wring positions he took in the primaries. and there's more fallout. three more agents are out. finally, let me finish with the number that will determine whether obama or romney gets elected this year. we begin with george zimmer

george zimmerman is a human being, as well. his family is probably going through some issues, as well. is there anything in any way do you empathize with george zimmerman or his family or his plight or his situation? >> well, of course george zimmerman has to be given all of the rights that any human being in this country should be able to enjoy. and when we -- when we look at the case, however, it's very clear to us that had the situation been slightly different, had it been trayvon martin who had pulled the trigger of a gun and killed george zimmerman, we know exactly where trayvon would be today. we know that -- we certainly know that he would be arrested. >> ms. davis, i'm sorry, i have to run. we have a lot of show to get to. but thank you for joining us. it's always good to look back on your history and get perspective about the future, as well. thank you, angela davis. >> certainly. thank you very much for having me on your program. >>> let's move on now and talk about politics and comedy. comedian lewis black sat down w

i said then that trayvon's hoody killed him as surely as george zimmerman did. what i was trying to do was caution parents allowing kids to wear hoodies and in certain circumstances, particularly if they were minority young men was dangerous. but he never intended to hurt feelings and i never intended to hurt your feelings. i want to personally convey my deepest apologies to both of you. i am sorry, tracy, if anything i said added to your misery. >> thank you for the apology. your apology is accepted. let me just add one thing with the wearing of the hoody. i don't think america knows that in fact at the time of the incident when he initially made the call, it was raining. so trayvon had every right to have on his hood. he was protecting himself from the rain. so being a suspicious walking in the rain with your hoody on is a crime, then i guess the world is doing something wrong. >> i hear that. thank you for accepting my apology. on monday attorney ben krump, who is with tracy and sabrina right now, let's take a look at ben there, he will be asking the justice

there is a question about where george zimmerman is right now. >> i will not tell you where george zimmerman is because i don't know. but for those engaged in the easter egg hunt look for them, you can stop looking in florida. which is also a reason why we didn't meet with him. because it wasn't reasonable. megyn: the media relations department for the sanford police are saying they have not heard anything about charges being brought or about a press conference. if they do they will put out a press release. megyn: george zimmerman has no lawyer right now. his former lawyer is talking about his mental state and where he is, an has -- al sharpton who held a news conference demanding he be arrested. >> the new lawyers will have to deal with those comments. they will have to deal with the comments from the former lawyers. >> he might be in a position where he's securing counsel. i think they were trying to save face because they knew they were probably going to be off the case because mr. zimmerman distanced himself. i would not be surprised if he is charged that those lawyers will come forward.

we put on the father of george zimmerman, robert zimmerman. i was criticized for even daring to talk to george zimmerman, confidential at this point, and all i tried to get to is the truth. these are congressmen and women making statements without zero evidence to back it up in the most volatile situation that's going on. >> the point for them is not search for truth. the point for them is to hijack the situation for political gain. it may be mr. zimmerman's account of that night is 1200% correct and the facts will bear it out or it may be that he is guilty of everything his detractors accused him of. the .nobody knows. for members of congress and others in the media like you are going to cover in a little bit, to go out there and hijack this case for their agenda purposes, and i think erica is correct, the left only operates on argument. they need the divisions in order to push through their agenda. we are in an aelection year. they are exploiting their case for their agenda and for their political purposes to maximize the situation. >> we ha
