the cases you meet with your client, sign a representation agreement, and represent them after that. however, for attorneys that practice here in central florida, with 50 million tourists a year coming to disney and universal and often times getting arrested and flying us home and hiring us from california or europe, it is not totally unusual to not meet with your client personally. we do it all the time. >> let's bring in john butchko, a retired miami police department homicide detective. john, good to have you with us tonight. as an investigator, did the attorneys' statements impact a potential case against george zimmerman, from what you can see? >> well, it's a pleasure being here. no, from what i can see, from their statements, what they say really means nothing to the case, especially what they're saying to the media and during these press conferences. however, should he be charged and should this case go before a jury, by saying those exact words in front of a jury could influence that jury to find the defendant not guilty.
