state of florida versus george zimmerman. we the jury find george zimmerman not guilty. so say we all foreperson. >> welcome everybody to this special edition of new day. that was the moment we have all been waiting for. the reading of the verdict in the george zimmerman murder trial. jury's decision, you heard it, not guilty. some people expected it. many did not. thanks for joining us. i'm chris cuomo. >> i'm kate baldwin. it's 8:00 in the east on this sunday july 14th. thank you for joining us for "new day." it was inevitable after the verdict came down that one side would be happy and one side would express relief, declare justice -- they would also declare that justice had been done and they would want to move on. listen here. >> your bond will be released. your gps monitor will be cutoff when you exit the courtroom over here and you have no further business with the court. >> thank you, your honor. >> but we knew from the beginning if trayvon martin was allowed to be killed and the man that did it to not go to jail there would be outrage and there is. civil rights

that george zimmerman was lucky. i understand why angela cory would say what comes to her mind, murderer. i can understand that. >> i don't understand that. she's a prosecutor. she's got a certain -- supposed to have some ethics, which obviously she doesn't. supposed to be competent. you heard the juror say they played over and over the reenactment by george zimmerman. jeff, i think she will back me up but for these incompetent prosecutors putting it in there. >> big mistake by the prosecutors to put all those tapes in. they thought, oh, they'll show all these inconsistencies. >> they rewatched that. >> i agreed with her on that. >> that does it for this special edition of "360." join us tomorrow night. we'll have more of my interview with job b-37. also 10:00 p.m. eastern tomorrow, a special edition "race and justice in america," it an "ac360" town hall. you don't want to miss it, tomorrow night 10:00 eastern right here on cnn.

george zimmerman is not guilty. if you have just a reasonable doubt that he acted in self-defense. >> the defense also played a controversial animated video based on zimmerman's deposition. one that the judge had prevented the defense from entering as evidence during the trial. yesterday prosecutor bernie de la rionda -- >> a teenager is dead. he is dead through no fault of his own. he is dead because another man-made

it's made by george zimmerman himself. now, he consults with his attorneys, they give him advice but george zimmerman is ultimately the one who makes that decision and we have seen, especially in the early days of this investigation, that he is independent minded and has a tendency to sometimes make decisions that perhaps those around him were not counselling him to do, specifically when he set up web pages to collect some money and there was some issues about money going back and forth within the family. so the attorney, mark o'mara, has said that from the beginning no decision has been made about whether george zimmerman will take the stand in his own defense. perhaps when he comes to the podium and talks to us and answers some questions, perhaps one of those questions will be just that and we'll hear what the answer is. it may be that still no decision has been made. >> kerry, what is your sense of folks down there in florida? do you think george zimmerman would take the stand? because, of course, he is saying it was al

and family of george zimmerman who say that's george zimmerman's voice screaming for help on the 911 call before the shot rings out. we heard from three family and friends, witnesses who said it was trayvon martin's voice. i have been thinking about this and recalling that there were neighbors who were not associated with either side, james sudaka who said it soundsed like a boy it's voice screaming for help. ultimately those witnesses may be considered more in identi identifying the voice. >> now we have got two to one on the defense side saying that's george zimmerman's voice. but some say why would a grown man who's got a gun be screaming like that. >> the jurors are going to be listening to that tape carefully and listen to when the screaming stops, when the gunshot goes off the screaming stops abruptly. these are fact witnesses but it's almost as if they're giving character witness as well. one testified about george zimmerman tutoring kids. another testified about the training he received with his gun. they're trying to present not only factual testimony but also testimony abou

of george zimmerman? >> i think george zimmerman is a man whose heart was in the right place but just got displaced by the vandalism in the neighborhoods and wanting to catch these people so badly that he went above and beyond what he really should have done. but i think he was a little negligible in doing what he did. >> negligent? >> negligent. sorry. but i think his heart was in the right place. it just went terribly wrong. >> do you think he's guilty of something? >> i thing he's guilty of not using good judgment. when he was in the car and he called 911, he shouldn't have gotten out of that car. >> he shouldn't have gotten out -- >> he shouldn't have gotten out of that car. >> do you feel george zimmerman should have been carrying a gun? >> i think he has every right to carry a gun. i think it's everybody's right to carry a gun. as long as they use it the way it's supposed to be used and be responsible in using it. >> george zimmerman obviously did not testify, but his testimony essentially was broug

punched george zimmerman in the face. zimmerman thinking that he was dealing with a criminal, then acted in self defense to defend himself from what he thought was a deadly threat. there was, you know, there was fault on both sides but unfortunately, a 17-year-old is dead, and why? because there was a gun in the picture. what i take away from last night. every african-american that i have spoken to, sees their own children in trayvon martin. and says is, in america today, do we have to worry when our kid goes out that he will be shot? because someone thinks he is a burglar? and i know, if this case, i tried cases like this in new york, as a prosecutor. and we used to call it, if you bring a gun to a fight and you kill somebody, you will get convictimed of manslaughter, and there will not ab prosecutor holding a press conference as they did earlier this evening saying we support the right to bare arms. this is not about the right to bare arms. you never hear that in new york then talking about that. they do not believe in

. >> what made you think it was george zimmerman's voice? >> because of the evidence that he was the one that had gotten beaten? >> so you think because he was the one who had had cuts, had acontributi abrasio abrasions, he was the one getting hit, calling for help? >> the witness john good saw trayvon on top of george, not necessarily hitting him because it was so dark he couldn't see and he saw blows down toward george. he knew what they were wear ing. >> the one who thought it was trayvon martin's voice on that call, do you know why? >> she didn't think it was trayvon. she just said it could have been trayvon's. >> she couldn't be sure? >> no. she wanted to give everybody absolute out of being guilty. >> but you were sure it was george zimmerman's voice? >> i was sure it was george zimmerman -- >> and everyone else was, except for are the one person? >> i think they were. i don't think there was a doubt that everyone thought it was george's voice. >> i want to ask you about different witnesses. rachel jeantel, the woman who was on the pho

same with benson, and that was george zimmerman. i'm not sure that if i had thought about trying to figure out who in the world talks to people they know, and then hears them scream for their life. i just -- there's no profession that does that. maybe a cornerman in a boxing ring, but they don't scream for help there. a medic in vietnam, a person who hangs out during the day with his buddies of 6200 people, figures out who they are, what they are, who they left behind at home, when they want to go back, when they might go back, and you know what? that they might never go back. he has a medic bag, and heads out towards the screams, and that even before he gets there sometimes, he knows who it is that's screaming. wow. didn't want to testify, i don't think, a guy who's been in vietnam wants to come before people and break down a bit, but i think his testimony was quite credible when he believed that it was mr. zimmerman, singleton, and by the way chris sarino say the same thing. unfortunately when mr. martin did first hear the tame, h

you must convict george zimmerman if george zimmerman were black in this situation. >> it's interesting. the second film reference in this show. our point of reference. the core is what we see in the movies. anyway, we'll take a quick break. first, a programming note. craig melvin and lisa are hosting special coverage of the george zimmerman trial tonight. make sure to check that out. >>> dave and neil launched warby parker in 2010 to shake up the world of prescription eyewear, starting with the price. what began as a purely online business was an instant success. so why are they focusing their energies on opening retail stores? for more, watch "your business" sunday mornings on msnbc. is like hammering. riding against the wind. uphill. every day. we make money on saddles and tubes. but not on bikes. my margins are thinner than these tires. anything that gives me some breathing room makes a difference. membership helps make the most of your cashflow. i'm nelson gutierrez of strictly bicycles and my money works as hard as i do. this is what membership is. this is what membership does. hu

>> george zimmerman's friend, mark osterman testified that george zimmerman told him that trayvon martin straddled zimmerman by his arm pits. de la rionda used a mannequin, once again, using the mannequin to show the jury once again what it would look like. >> he is showing the arm pits, how did he get the gun out? arm pits, how does he get the gun out? >> a few months after the incident, george zimmerman told sean hannity that he had no regrets about what happened that night. but today, he must have had regrets about talking to sean hannity. >> i feel like it was all god's plan, and for me to second guess it or judge it. >> is there anything you might do differently in retrospect, after time has passed? >> no, sir. >> i don't know whether i need to comment about that. it speaks for itself. >> joining me now, msnbc legal analyst, lisa bloom, former criminal prosecutor, faith jenkins and former prosecutor marcia clark, who is also the author of the new novel, "killer ambition." they want to lodge at least one central question at least in the jury's mind that leads to the answer of guilty.

george zimmerman. george zimmerman who? all right. good. you're on the jury. nothing? that's funny. >> a lot of people didn't find it funny, and defense attorney don west ended up apologizing later. other key moments, testimony from neighbors who witnessed part of the fight and called 911. we heard screaming in the background and the gunshot that ended trayvon martin's life. >> i can't see him. i don't want to go out there. i don't know what's going on. >> so you think he's yelling help? >> yes. >> all right. what is your -- [ gunshot ] >> there's gunshots. >> there's two guys in backyard with flashlights. >> okay. >> and there's a black guy down. it looks like he's been shot and he's dead. >> okay. >> he's laying and there's multiple people calling right now i'm thinking. >> and, of course, the star witness for the prosecution, rachel jeantel, trayvon martin's friend, who was defiant and later criticized for her attitude in court. we want to warn you, some of the language you're about to hear may be offensive. >> describe iing the person is t made you think it was rac

geraldo rivera reporting on the verdict of george zimmerman. the tragic florida youngster, that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. it was one of those awful tragedies in life, but not all tragedies are crimes. that is what happened here. they over charged george zimmerman, i believe, largely because of outside political pressure. political pressure from civil rights icons. political pressure, indeed from the white house itself. you recall the president of the united states suggesting that if he had a son, his son would look like trayvon martin. it is one of those awful confluences of politics and justice, and they do not mix. this is a case that the original officers remember, ladies and gentlemen, the original officers and the local prosecutor, decided not to bring against george zimmerman, remember the circumstances. here is george zimmerman the neighborhood watch captain in a beleigerred community, his retreat there, that had been burglarized and you know, robbed before by youngsters, who looked a lot like trayvon martin di

that it was george zimmerman? >> yes. >> so you would have voted not guilty? >> correct. >> what did you think of b-37, the juror who spoke out? did you see that interview? >> i did, yeah. i was surprised that anybody could come out that quickly and talk about this. i know that when i got done, and was asked about what i thought, i didn't know where to start, i didn't even know what to say. so i was a little surprised that she came out as quickly as she did. i'm not surprised that it was her that came out. you know, i just think that was a little bit too soon. >> and what's your reaction to all the protests, demonstrations and the talk of a civil rights complaint now? >> i just don't understand the civil rights complaint. i didn't see the evidence there in the courtroom that would make anybody believe that there was a civil rights case for this. the protests, the people are going to be angry no matter what the verdict was. and there's nothing we can do about that. i just hope that they're peaceful. and that they j

>> the joke was horrible. >> george zimmerman. george zimmerman who? all right, good, you're on the jury. >> nobody got it. i didn't get it, until later, when i thought about it, and i'm like, i guess that could have been funny, but not in the context he told it. >> was there a particular witness that stands out to you? who did you find to be the most credible? >> the doctor, and i didn't know his name. >> the doctor the defense called? >> yes. >> what about him? >> i thought he was awe inspiring. the experiences that he had had over in the war, and i just never thought of anybody that could recognize somebody's voice yelling, in like a terrible terror voice, when he was just previously a half hour ago playing cards with him. >> that is george zimmerman. >> a lot of analysts who were watching the trial felt that the defense attorneys, mark o'mara and don west were able to turn prosecution witnesses to their advantage. chris advisory serino, for instance, the lead investigator, did he make an impression on you? >> chris serino did, but to me, he was jus

what it proves is that if george zimmerman, if people understand george zimmerman to have been saying that trayvon martin grabbed him by the head in a manner that would cause some kind of dna from george zimmerman to get under his fingernails and slammed his head into the sidewalk, you might expect some amount of dna from george zimmerman to be under his fingernails. but it also might not. so i have to say it's helpful to the prosecution. it's not a slam dunk. it's not a big ticket item, but it is something to add to the evidence that the prosecution has presented to show that the contact between trayvon martin and george zimmerman may not be as zimmerman described. >> mark geragos, do you think some of this testimony was ultimately a wash? because the defense was able to get the dna expert to basically say just the fact that he couldn't find dna doesn't mean that there wasn't trayvon martin's dna on the holster or the gun. >> i do think it's a wash. i can't tell you how many times you will see, especially with guns and depending on what the kind of surface is of it, it's very difficu

it's the george zimmerman trial. right now we're hearing from a new witness, a neighbor of zimmerman's whose home was broken into while she was inside with her young child. that incident is why george zimmerman told police he decided to start the neighborhood watch. let's listen. >> -- the person or persons involved had not been caught, right? >> right. >> and you discussed that it was your belief -- i say yours collectively, you and him -- that that person responsible lived in retreat twin lakes, right? >> it was confirmed by the police. >> that they lived inside. >> yes. >> and you discussed that with the defendant. >> and other neighbors. >> and you discussed that person lived in retreat at twin lakes near the back gate, right? >> yes. >> and then it's your understanding that at some point that person was arrested. >> yes. >> and released prior to february of 2012. >> correct. >> you -- have you watched the proceedings in this trial? >> briefly. >> what parts did you watch? >> i believe i saw his uncle testify. >>

a blockbuster day in the george zimmerman trial. in a moment, i'll speak to mark o'mara, a day in which witness after witness testified george zimmerman is the man heard screaming on the tape, not trayvon martin. >> you said you heard the tape several times, is that mainly listening to it on tv? >> yes. >> were you able to identify mr. zimmerman's voice during the first time you listened to it? yes, my immediate reaction to it was, that is george's voice. >> that's georgy. >> it's george zimmerman, and i wish to god i did not have the ability to recognize that. >> i pushed away from the table and shook my head and said, i can't tell. >> and the judge rules the jury will hear about trayvon martin's alleged pot use. joining us to talk about a busy day in court, mark o'mara. mark, busy day. pretty important day in many ways. how significant is this late breaking decision to allow trayvon martin's toxicology report including his cannibis use to be made available to the court? >> good evening, piers, it's good to chat with you again. we

what it proves is that if george zimmerman, if people understand that george zimmerman that trayvon martin grabbed him by the head in a manner that might have caused george zimmerman's dna to get under his nails and slammed his head into the sidewalk you might expect some amount of dna to be under his fingernails, but it also might not. so i have to say, it's helpful to the prosecution and it's not a slam dunk and not a big ticket item and it is something to add to the evidence flat prosecution has presented to show that the contact might not be as zimmerman described. >> mike geragos, do you think this was ultimately a wash? the defense was able to get the dna expert to basically say just the fact that he couldn't find dna didn't mean there wasn't trayvon martin's dna on the holster and the gun? >> i do think it's a wash. i can't tell you, lawrence will tell you how many times you will see and especially with guns and depending on what with the kind of surface is of it . it's very difficult to know when someone handles that gun to pick up the dna off of it or the fingerprints off of it or

, state of florida versus george zimmerman, verdict, we the jury find george zimmerman not guilty. so say we all -- >> two words, not guilty. and george zimmerman was told he could go home, that he was a free man, all charges against him were dismissed. the jury is 6 women deliberated for more than 16 hours, friday and most of saturday. they could have found him guilty of second degree murder or manslaught manslaughter. they chose to find him not guilty. it's the caper on of a case that has inflamed racial passions across the country and polarized opinion on race and profiling since the killing of 17-year-old trayvon martin in february of last year george zimmerman found not guilty. i want you to listen to debra nelson speak directly to george zimmerman after learning he was cleared of all the charges. >> your bond will be released. your gps monitor will be cut off when you exit the courtroom over here and you have no further business with the court. >> you have no further business with the court. and with those words, george zimmerman shook hands with his legal team, calmly put pa

it negates the story of george zimmerman. and what we heard was it certainly seems to be consistent with george zimmerman's claim. >> dr. lawrence koblinski in new york. stay with us for the trial developments of george zimmerman when we come back. meet the 5-passenger ford c-mc-max one. c-max two. that's a super fuel- efficient hybrid for me. and a long range plug-in hybrid for you. now, let's review. introducing the ford c-max hybrid and the ford c-max energi plug-in hybrid. say hi to the c-max hybrids. >>> we continue to follow the trial of george zimmerman. i'm joined once again by msnbc legal analyst lisa bloom, and also by goldie taylor, an msnbc analyst. as we get close to the end of witnesses for the defense, what's your assessment of the day? >> first of all, i think the headline is that george zimmerman is not going to testify. it's something that most of us who have been following the case has been saying from day one. they put on trayvon martin's own father and asked him some tough questions, they put on a lot of

>> he believes zimmerman was telling the truth. >> this is george zimmerman's best friend. >> recounting what zimmerman told him about the gun. >> friend said that george zimmerman was shot. >> did you notice in those pictures the cut on mr. martin's knuckle? >> are any of those abrasions life-threatening? >> they always get away. >> we have it on the short delay. in order to mute some of the foul language. >> is the word -- [ bleep ]. >> we'll take you back to the trial right now. >> we're back on the record. >> today, the prosecution called jacksonville medical examiner dr. valerie rao as an expert witness to testify about the injuries george zimmerman said he sustained on the night of february 26th, 2012, the night that according to george zimmerman he shot and killed 17-year-old trayvon martin in self defense. here is dr. rao's key finding. >> after reviewing all of those items, in terms of severity, how would you classify the injuries to the defendant's head? >> they were not life-threatening, they were very insignificant. >> dr. rao came to this conclusion after reviewing evidence

zimmerman says no, sir. gary, there is an awful lot for george zimmerman to regret. and it seems to me any juror is going to know that. >> sure, absolutely, there is a lot for george zimmerman to regret here. i'm not exactly sure. i think the defense's job here is to make sure that the jury doesn't get caught up in the sensationalism part of this. whether or not that had an impact, whether it is to deciding issue in the case is not. i think it will be the defense attorney's job to lay out if he was afraid for his life. will it work? i think if he gets on the stand and proves it is the objective. you have the objective, proving it is reasonable to act, the prosecution did that. trying to show that the injuries were there and the subjective part, which was, he was obviously losing the fight. all the experts testified that he was losing the fate. >> depraved mind, gary, no remorse, the prosecution is going to argue that, an element of second degree murder. >> and faith said is, zimmerman is going to be a terrible witness. >> so far, the prosecution didn't get what they

do you know george zimmerman? >> yes, i do. >> and if you would, tell the jury how long you have known him. >> i think i met george nor the first time either at the end of 2002 or early in 2003. >> and if you would briefly tell the jury the circumstances of. i own and operate a local real estate business and george was working for the local evens company and i used to refer my commerce over to him, so i got to know him that way. >> would a characterization as a business friendship be? >> yes, it started out as a business relationship. >> have you maintained a friendship sort of continuously back in 2002? >> yes. >> if you would, tell the jury the high points of that. how it happened, how it progressed. i'm sorry, do you know shelly zimmerman as well? >> yes, i do. when i have you talk to the juriant your relationship, is it one that grew with you and your husband and george zimmerman and his wife? >> yes. >> okay. >> so as you are going through this, are you talking about the relationship that grew between the fou

zimmerman and exonerated george zimmerman. reale talking about in a way is criminalization. we are talking about school to prison pipeline, zero-tolerance policies which are the reason is that of being in a restorative justice program in high school that trayvon martin was in the dead of night going to a store in orlando instead of being at his high school in miami. we are going to ask our commerce people to address stand your ground, which may not have had as much influence on this but creates an open season for young people of color. we're going to address the law enforcement who uses racial profiling to create a dragnet over our communities and strike fear in our communities. we're going to call on our congress people to come back to work because though george zimmerman was found guilty, florida is very guilty. >> we're going to take a break and then come back and also going to be joined by lisa graves of the center for media and democracy, who for the last year has been investigating alec . we're going to talk about the st
