craig, i want to ask you quickly as well. we know we'll hear from the judge about 20 minutes from now giving instructions to the jurors. then after that, about half-an-hour later, we are being told that we'll hear from the seminole county sheriff as well as the sanford police chief. obviously the safety of that community is so critical at this time given the fact that there's been a lot of grave focus on this around the country. what do we anticipate we will hear from them especially gibb the fact that there have been some public service announcements put out recently urging people to avoid violence and to honor the jury's findings peacefully. >> there has been an active campaign to make sure that's the case, peter. i can tell you, there is an area cordoned off for protesters. the greatest number of froe protesters we've seen on any given day -- three. there have not been a lot of folks who have come out on a daily basis to express they sort of discontent with either side, the defense or the state. we can also tell you that y

craig, what's going on right now? >> reporter: you know, what we just saw there was very interesting because this was perhaps, arguably, the first state witness that really sort of held her own with mark o'mara on cross-examination. we should note this is not the same medical examiner, obviously, that performed the autopsy on trayvon martin's body. we got a few very important morsels, if you will, from valerie rao. the first of which right out of the gate she testified that george zimmerman's injuries were, in her words, insignificant. she used that adjective several times to talk about the injuries that he sustained. she also talked a little bit about the injuries not being a result of great force as well. we saw mark o'mara on cross-examination try and discredit her by basically saying that she was appointed by angela cory and as a result implying that her testimony might be slanted. we just heard on redirect that she insisted that was not the case. again, it was very interesting to watch and hear that back and fort

i agree with what craig said totally. i spent a lot of time in sanford during the big rallies that reverend sharpton talked about. by the way, not all black people, this was a huge variety of people. when you go in the black community. what you find is not a sense of rioting, you find a sense of fatalism. i had had people say to me, the only reason there was a trial, was that boy was from out of town. if he had been from sanford, nothing would have been done. they come into our communities, the police don't care about us. the police station is located at the edge of the beginning of the historical black community. yet people say they can't get a response when somebody is shot dead in their community. they wouldn't call. on the other hand, people are rude to them, and call them porch monkeys. there are deep-seated problems. it is pretty ironic that the police say they're going to stop the violence, they feel they're being neglected from their own police department. that is what they were angry about is the police wouldn't

>> hi there, craig. twitter is full of unbridled relief and pride of what he called a chavez vista taking the lead. this is possibly a fake account. who would expect anything less from snowden. no, no official or verifiable reaction. experts in criminal profiling say that after being holed up now and isolated for some two weeks in a heavily guarded room in a moscow airport hotel, snowden was probably feeling like his reality was about to crash down on him. stateless, powerless, feeling not like the hero he expected to become. going from no options to three options, even if they are venezuela, nicaragua and bolivia must have brought a sigh of relief to the fugitive and no doubt, an equal sigh of frustration from the obama administration. >> lodgistically here, say nicaragua decides to offer him asylum, how is he going to get there? >> reporter: good question. not just nicaragua, let's take venezuela. what he needs to do next is get a valid travel document from the government to fly on. his u.s. passport w

craig, i want to ask you about challenges chris serino will hear over the course of the day. obviously the prosecution tried to throw out the idea what he believed zimmerman had to say. what is the prosecution's challenge after they get the chance after cross-examination to revisit with this witness? >> that's a good point. do let viewers know what's happening inside the courtroom in terms of this hearing. it really basically stems from what officer serino said on the stand yesterday when he was asked essentially whether he believed george zimmerman, he said yes. now the state is trying to get that thrown out. judge debra nelson has just decided that is going to be an issue she takes up later today. they are still looking at some case law. that's something the judge decides on later today whether that's going to be struck from the record. again, that's obviously something the jurors heard yesterday. after that there was another interesting back and forth. they are talking about a guy named gordon pleasants. he's a professor at seminole state college. it appears he taught an o

craig did an excellent job. did you see he that understanding were girl, that young child who was giving an interview by craig? look. the bottom line is when you kill a snake, you go to the head. the president of the united states of america needs to get more engaged. i'm most happy that he spoke out about trayvon. when you've got death like this going on in chicago daily, 40 some people killed in a night, a 6-year-old child hurt, somebody has got to get involved, and it's got to come from the top. it has to come from the president of the united states. >> geraldo: niger, your final thoughts. >> i can't add to what these gentlemen said except say amen. they're dead o on target. if i were to add anything, i would say we also have to examine what i call the entertainment industrial complex and the hip hop industry and its projection of young black men and the images of who young black men are. >> agreed. >> they are creating negative role models for young black men that are often in homes where their mama is out w

craig? >> michael, good evening to you. two to four inches, two to four inches. that's the distance that di maio was from martin. that was one of his highlights from the testimony today. he went on to say that the gun was against the clothing, not pressed against the skin. he ultimately said the medical evidence that he was presented is consistent with george zimmerman's story. injuries from his head, according to dr. di maio, came from some serious blows. perhaps concrete. he also, as you indicated said there are at least six injuries. there were at least six injuries to george zimmerman's head. meanwhile, on cross-examination, bernie de la rionda, in some of his most animated cross examining could not testify as to who started the fight, couldn't testify as to who threw the first punch and also couldn't testify whether trayvon martin at any point was actually grabbed the gun as have been said. they also wonder how the medical examiner has handled the clothes. as you indicated, dr. di maio, the star witness today as you indicated, also as you indicated mark o'ma

craig, starting with you what do we expect to see today from the defense? >> the defense, third witness, and over the weekend we learned from mark o'mara that at some point, perhaps as early as today, the defense plans to call tracy martin. of course the father of 17-year-old trayvon martin. they're going to call tracy martin perhaps for the same reason that the state chose not to call tracy martin. tracy martin shortly after they played that 911 tape, police played the neighbor's 911 call for tracy martin said to the police officer, according to the police detective's report, i asked mr. martin if the voice calling for help was that of his son. mr. martin emotionally impacted by the recording, quietly responded no. the defense of course will pounce on that. we should note tracy martin later said it was, in fact, his son's voice on that 911 call. the defense is going to be calling a number of witnesses. don't know if we're going to hear from them later today. mark o'mara said other the weekend that he was having a good time with the trial, but he expected t

looking for craig on craig crawford's "trail mix." we are putting the spotlight on migrant farm works but not the way you would expect. that's next in "the war room." alright, in 15 minutes we're going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. [ speaking in spanish ] >> michael: farm laborers have some of the harshest working conditions in the country and often earning low, low wages. they're undocumented with few opportunities to earn a living in this country, and many of them are women. a long kept secret is just how widespread sexual harassment and sexual assaults are in the field. four out of ten say they have experienced se

we found one such battle on craig's list. what we couldn't believe was who got caught in the crossfire. this adorable 2-year-old boy. according to the post, you're looking into the eyes of a mena menace. we thought it was worth the risk of meeting him. his name is ryan and he's 2 years old. maggie is ryan's mom. >> how did you react when you first saw this? >> i was sick as any parent would be if they saw their child on the internet. >> it all started with something close to the hearts of parents, child care. the woman who posted the picture of this 2-year-old for all the world to see runs the day care center where ryan spends eight hours a day. initially his mother thought tiny tots day care was just right for her kid. >> it looked spectacular. it was extremely clean when i walked into the home. >> she also liked the owners. a mother and daughter team. she was so happy with them, she also enrolled ryan's 5-year-old brother. >> your 5-year-old complained of not getting enough food. did that worry you? >> it did. >> maggie com

so they are motivated in trying to move forward, craig. and not have a defeatist mentality. they want to have a conquer mentality. and they won't let somebody profile their child to define their legacy. >> we have not heard from any of the six jurors. we may not hear from any of the six jurors. if you could ask them collectively one question, what would that question be? >> well, you know, as officers of the court, we try to respect the jury's verdict, even if we don't agree with it. we try to respect their verdict and try to encourage people to accept the rule of law. i told tracy and sabrina, i tell all my clients, there's no guarantee at justice. there's a chance at justice. and that's all we have in america. and that's what makes us the greatest country in the world. at least we have a chance at justice. you know, the obvious question is, if this was your child. >> that's a good spot to leave it. thank you, sir. i appreciate your time as always. i want to note here, msnbc has invited members of the zimmerman family and the defense team to join us on a number of occasions

craig melvin talked about the part that was forcibly absorbed into sanford. they brought the cities in sort of against their will and there has been this tension between goldsborrow which maintained its own name and sanford proper. the police force has the long negative ugly history with the black community in sanford. all of that was sort of bunched into the trayvon martin case. this case dragged in issues that had nothing to do with george zimmerman and thog to do with trayvon martin. all of the history burst into the open when this happened. the city has done through a lot. you talk to people and they just want it to be over and they want their city back and they want their reputation back. >> you can't put a price on justice. this is costing them a lot o of money. even going late at night. this is overtime. >> overtime for a lot of people. the court personnel and staff and people behind the scenes that we don't necessarily see on camera but that have to be there to keep the court up and functioning to maintain security. a lot of those folks work monday 9-

craig, what are you hearing? >> reporter: you know, richard, i suppose the defense is getting ready to start its case. the state has filed a motion of limine. this means the state is trying to restrict the scope of expert testimony that's going to be offered by the defense when the defense starts its case. i'm going to read to you quickly from the motion here. the motion is specific to a defense witness named dennis rude. according to the motion, he was deposed on june 29th, and he, quote, now offers himself as an expert in various law enforcement related topics, including the use of force. the motion goes on to say that during the deposition rude says the defendant george zimmerman was reasonable in his use of deadly force against trayvon martin. goes on to say the defendant did not violate any florida statutes as well. again, this is a motion filed by the state in an attempt to limit some expert testimony we expect to hear when the defense launches its case. >> craig melvin, thank you so much, outside the court

i'm craig melvin live in sanford, florida, with fresh reaction to the not guilty verdict for george zimmerman in the death of trayvon martin. >> state of florida versus george zimmerman. the verdict, we, the jury, find george zimmerman, not guilty. >> this case has never been about race nor has it ever been about the right to bear arms. not in the sense of proving this as a criminal case. but trayvon martin was profiled. >> things would have been different if george zimmerman was black for this reason, he never would have been charged with a crime. >> i think all america has to dig deep in their heart to try to find out how we as a society can learn from this tragedy and make sure it's not repeated. >> what's next for the families? for this community? and our country? we are live covering every angle of this story as the verdict re verb rates from coast to coast. >> sad and disappointed. this is a very sad, sad time. >> it's truly a tragedy. a 17-year-old boy is dead. both sides presented their case and the jury decided. that's justice. >> it's been more than 17 hours now since the jury deliv

craig, what is the status right now in that courtroom? >> right now, a familiar sight about this time of morning. there is another side bar going on. the attorneys for the state, the attorneys for the defense are gathered there. you can see zimmerman actually doing something we haven't seen a lot of, doing some smiling, doing some laughing with another member of the defense team at the table there. as you indicated, arguably, the most exciting part of court yesterday happened after the jury left the room. 13 1/2 hours. that's how long court went yesterday. it was hands down the longest day of court so far. last night, at one point, judge nelson had to actually extend george zimmerman's curfew. he is supposed to be in the house by 10:00. she ended up extending his curfew by 30 minutes. we expect, we use the word here expect, because over the past few days, we've been thrown a number of curveballs as well. we expect she is going to decide on a number of things. first being that animation. they spent a great deal of time last night talking a

back down to craig melvin with the latest. what's happening in the trial, craig? >> reporter: chris, you know, this is actually the fourth or fifth sidebar we've seen today, which is fairly unusual. judge nelson has really been keeping the proceedings moving along at quite the clip. right now we are told that before lunch, there was -- the attorneys for the defense, the attorneys for the prosecution, they were going back forth over the doctor's notes related to the autopsy and the defense asked to see those notes. they asked first to make a copy of the notes. the judge said they would look at notes, make their own notes off those notes. they had an hour to do that over lunch, but apparently this is related to doctor shipley's notes. those autopsy notes. again, this has been about 20, 25-minute sidebar so far, which is the longest of the day. >> okay. thanks so much. >>> we're going to be back from the essence festival down here in new orleans after this. this is "hardball," of course, the place for politics. >>> welcome back to "hardball," in time for the sideshow

craig? >> michael, good evening to you. two to four inches, two to four inches. that's the dast distance that di maio was from martin. that was one of his highlights from the testimony today. he went on to say that the gun was against the clothing, not pressed against the skin. he ultimately said the medical evidence that he was presented is consistent with george zimmerman's story. injuries from his head, according to dr. di maio, came from some serious blows. perhaps concrete. he also, as you indicated said there are at least six injuries. there were at least six injuries to george zimmerman's head. meanwhile, on cross-examination, bernie de la riondo, in some of his most animated cross examining could not testify as to who started the fight, couldn't testify as to who threw the first punch and also couldn't testify whether trayvon martin at any point was actually grabbed the gun as have been said. they also wonder how the medical examiner has handled the clothes. as you indicated, dr. di maio, the star witness today as you indicated, also as you indicated mark

craig, have you seen more activity on the ground over the last 24 hours? i know you were saying that you've seen a maximum of three people, at least, up until yesterday. >> reporter: yesterday we saw some demonstrators and today we have seen more demonstrators. i would say about 75% of the demonstrators are with a group, especially with justice for trayvon, trayvon martin. and there are actually a handful of folks who are demonstrating in front of the courthouse right now, who are holding signs, holding posters, holding posters in support of george zimmerman as well. so we have seen an uptick in the number of demonstrators, when i say uptick, richard, i'd put the count at this point, at about 30, maybe more cameras more reporters than actual protesters. you indicated that the jury right now just started their lunch break, 3 1/2 hours yesterday, three hours this morning. they'll take a lunch break until 1:00, and at that point, we're told they'll begin deliberating again. so far this morning, no questions. the jury has not indicated that they have an additi

search and on the last day, of our last tour of duty, traveling around we were in oslow and we met with craig and his partner and at the end of that day, we knew and there was... we knew in no uncertain terms that this was the firm that we wanted to work with and i can only say that as i welcome craig up to the podium the last three thought and it actually does, this is followed by a creative phase, and the creative phase is really the fun part, and then there is the pass that will move along. somehow this is a case of construction. and we will deliver this child. happily, at the end of this, there is the miracle of birth, when the doors open and there is hopefully plenty of hugs and smiles when our guests enter the new sf moment and as of this great day, the building will mature slowly at first and will experience many challenges in its life alongside the days of joy and celebration >> while this metaphor was pretty good there is a difference that i would like to point out. unlike many marriages and births, the making of the building is not a monogomous relationship, it is a poly amorous rel
