let's talk about the george zimmerman trade on martin case the jury selection
started yesterday i was watching that ball while i was doing work at my desk
of the jury selection and yesterday george zimmerman was basically doing
nothing he just sat there and my guess is that he was told overnight at some
point listen you should really try to look more engaged so today he had like a
pad of paper and he was looking very pensive in taking a lot of notes but i
really am curious
what kind of notes with the accused would be taking during jury selection
might how good of those notes be of any consequence i ask this honestly he was
probably just drawing pictures of dead black kids now come on the list
ara you don't think he cares about the value think he's completely disarmed for
security purpose in the sense that you think he's completely divorced from
reality
he thinks there's no question here at all and he's keeping seated the right
thing by killing trail on martin
i don't know what he thinks about what he did i mean i'm sure he
he wanted to to shoot someone and i i think he did what he wanted to do a lot
of i don't know how he feels afterwards during the jury selection
the sermons attorney kept asking the potential jurors we don't see they're
like off-camera but you hear them
they start asking questions about news consumption and i'd know exactly what
they're going for they're trying to figure out is this someone he is someone
who believes the fox news narrative or isn't it
and they're very good at doing it but we've course know what they're doing
they say so tell me about news coverage at what it would have you watch no se
i don't know i don't watch too much news i just watched a couple stories
do you have cable t_v_
uh... yes they do
okay so what what channels do tend to watch and they say all i don't know
whenever i turn my t_v_ on my kid goes right to the the local affiliate local
station
and i'd know exactly where they're going in and they say
right so you know there's these networks there's that works like i don't know you
know there's c_n_n_ day never mention parties first
there's c_n_n_ in his msnbc are headline news in this foxnews do you tend to like
the coverage on one more you know do you prefer for a watch the covers on one
over the other
and they're really trying to assess based on is this a fox news viewer
what do we think i mean and and i guess it's not it's not stupid of them i a
means of smart but it's just amazing how
it's just did the internet is down to that it's come to that exactly
and then also questions about whether
a lot of these nine one one callers that george zimmermann made
should be part of this trial now a lot of people say hold on a second
trade on martin's past and and his uh... a smoking we either getting suspended
from school
if that's not relevant to the case than the fact that george zimmerman has
called nine one one in the past also shouldn't be relevant however i don't
know that i agree with that because
as a victim
tradeline martin having been suspended eight-year before however long before it
was six months before
that's not actually relevant to this case given that he had never met tourism
them before
however if george zimmerman has a history
of calling nine one one
minorities who are in his neighborhood
that actually could be relevant and let's listen to one of those phone calls
which which may or may not be part of this trial
don't first
spirit
insured
but not everywhere
from what we really want to become conferees in bengal recruit group hanan
the younger or criminal record
finger or contractors
more african-american religious here was however about that
but there are
mark wahlberg factor martin bomb iraq priority
usable always running a bomber hat
uh... so
did you do you think he should be part of the case
well i mean if you're trying to highlight
his paranoia
or or perhaps some racial motivation
yeah probably
uh... at the same time i mean if if trade on martin was someone who got into
a lot of fights
maybe that would be rep are relevant i don't know
well but then you start getting into is getting into fights indicative of
that does that warrant being shot to death and it could only taints the
perception of this particular crime don't you think you tom
uh... both both uh... things could be rolled and the idea that uh... zimmerman
was kind of obsessed
with this neighborhood watch uh... volunteer job that he had and he would
sort of obsessively pursue people and also that phrase on might have been
uh... a fighter i mean both things could be relevant to establishing what
happened in this case a lot of the trade on staff has been thrown out by the
judge will hear about one of
of george norman's history will be included let's take a break coming up
next lee fong will talk to us he's been following some freedom of information
