>> that, i believe he should have made a statement to police at that time. i think he did, i don't know for a fact because i haven't seen the police reports on this case. i have not discussed the evening of what occurred that time. i think that will come out through the investigation process, done by law enforcement. >> you haven't discussed any of the details of that night with him? >> no. >> we're getting up to speed in the shooting of trayvon martin. here is a time line of events. >> the story starts in sanford, florida near orlando. on february 26th, 17-year-old trayvon martin was shot and killed by a self-appointed neighborhood watchman. witnesses told police they heard a scuffle, a cry for help and a gunshot. when police arrive on the scene they found this man, george zimmerman holding the gun that killed martin. he had a bloody nose and wound on the back of his head. zimmerman tells police it's self defense. the only thing in trayvon martin's hand was a bag of skittles. on march 9th, 12 days after the killing. his father publicly called on sanford police to arrest george zimmerman saying justice hadn't been served. on march 13th, police wrapped up the investigation. they say no arrest has been made because they have no evidence to contradict zimmerman's story. two days later a witness speaks. >> we believe in our hearts 100% it was not self defense. >> march 16th, the next day, police release 911 tapes from the night of trayvon martin's death. here is one exchange. >> something is wrong with him. yep, he's coming to check me out. he's got something in his hands. i don't know what his deal it. >> are you following him?

is he a racist, where is he right now? we've not heard anything from him since this incident, and we had an opportunity to talk to his attorney, craig saunder, last night who told us that george zimmerman is still in the sanford, florida area here. he's not left the state, he's not left the country, contrary to some reports. he doesn't know exactly where he is but he has spoken to him on the phone and they have discussed some elements of this case. now, when we asked him some specifics of what was going on, he said he just doesn't know at this point because it's under investigation, he doesn't have details. he said that neither he nor george have listened to those 911 tapes that everybody has heard yet and he does say there is a bit of concern because of all the attention that the situation is getting from the rallies around the country, from politicians and celebrities taking to facebook and twitter, talking about wanting an arrest for george zimmerman. here is what his attorney told us. >> this case is spinning out of control and i don't think that whatever did or didn't happen that day, whether -- we know one thing for sure, there is a young man in the prime of his life who is dead. we also know that george zimmerman was there and it was a gunshot from his gun. the question is was it -- what happened in those moments?

[ female announcer ] yoplait. it is so greek. just about half past the hour welcome back i'm randi kaye. thank you for start injuring day with us. the army staff sergeant accused of going on a house-to-house killing rampage in afghanistan could face the death sentence if convicted. sergeant robert bales remains in custody at fort heavleavenworth. sara sidner has the story. >> reporter: robert bales is being charged with 17 counts of murder. that is a discrepancy. the afghan government has a list of 16 people killed and six people injured. sergeant bales also faces charges of assault and attempted murder on the six people who are injured, every single one of the injured is expected to survive. so we still haven't figured out why there is a discrepancy between the number of people he is charged with murdering and the number that the afghan government has as dead. let's talk about some of the reaction that happened here in afghanistan. the taliban has reacted saying that they do not in any way trust american courts, they call them theater, they do not believe in the american justice system. they think justice should be done here and they have again vowed to take revenge against any american troops here in the country. so there you have reaction from them. but as far as overall reaction, we have not seen any, not one, protest since these charges came down and really in a week, we haven't seen anyone going out in the streets, making any speeches. we do know the government is upset with how the investigation went down, because their investigators were not allowed to speak with the suspect and sent back to the united states. randi? >> sara sidner, thank you. getting a check now of the stories, an attorney for george zimmerman is pushing back against claims that race played a role in the shooting that claimed the life of 17-year-old trayvon martin. here what is craig saunder told erin burnett. >> seems like the case has spiralled into an issue of race. upon talking with my client, i don't believe that is the case at all. i've talked with him and people who know him, he is not known for being a racist, whatever transpired that night was an issue of self defense or what occurred that night. >> what has george zimmerman told you what happened that night? >> i have not discussed that, that would be attorney-client privilege. >> sonner advised his client to keep a low profile saying he believes zimmerman's life is in danger. zimmerman's father said his son moved out of his home after receiving death threats. new images take us in the apartment of the french gunman who ended in his death. mohammed merah was wanted in the killings of seven people including three children. officials say he was under surveillance, but police had no grounds to arrest him before the attacks happened. rick santorum may be poised for a big victory in the louisiana primary. recent polls show the former senator with a double digit lead over rival mitt romney. 20 delegates are at stake in the contest but they will be allocate prd proportionally. only registered republicans can vote. more on the louisiana primary in just a minute. but first something we like to call political gut check where we take you beyond the speeches and break down what is really going on in politics. tuesday's primary in illinois. >> thank you, illinois. thank you so much. >> mitt romney won but it was his wife, ann, who spoke first. now boston. >> what a fabulous welcome from massachusetts. >> this was super tuesday, romney won massachusetts by a landslide and it was ann who took the mic first. back to january. >> thank you, florida! >> this was florida, romney's first and only win in the south. you can see where i'm going here. mitt romney's wife, not some powerful politician introduced him win after win. i spoke with mark preston who said he's not surprised to see this. >> ann romney gives something to the candidacy he doesn't have. she connects with people. she connects with voters and she helps humanize mitt romney. one of his biggest fall-backs or perhaps something he needs to work on is his ability to connect with voters. a lot of people don't think he does a good job of that. ann romney provides that bridge for voters to her husband, mitt romney. she softens him up. i know just seeing her, she talks about his love of peanut butter on the campaign trail. it's interesting. it's not just ann romney front and center for the candidates. >> karen santorum, the wife of rick, has proven to be a very good surrogate for rick santorum. he is somebody who speaks his mind, tends to say some things that at times get him in trouble. and in fact, sometimes karen santorum has to come in and clean up some of the problems that rick santorum has created for himself, in fact when rick santorum was talking about contraception in many ways, that really hurt him with women voters, and karen santorum this past week on piers morgan explained it. >> i think women have nothing to fear when it comes to contraception, he will do nothing on that issue. >> you have rick santorum's wife explaining her husband would not outlaw contraception and in fact really understands the problems and the duties that women in the household have to face but it's not just of course rick santorum's wife or mitt romney's wife, but a lot of talk about calista gingrich, seems to be by his side, she doesn't really talk a whole lot on the campaign trail, she does do selective events. ron paul's wife has not been on the campaign trail very much at all if ever. >> let's talk about the louisiana primary it's tonight and shaping up to be an important primary for all the candidates. >> it really is, there are 20 delegates online in the louisiana primary, trying to change the narrative of the race. if mitt romney wins tonight it will show he can win in the south. he hasn't been successful in that except for his win down in florida. newt gingrich probably has to win tonight in order for his campaign to get that boost it needs after he won the georgia primary. it has been downhill for him. rick santorum who has based his whole campaign in upset wins, if he were to win tonight that would help push back some of the calls for this republican presidential primary to come to an end. we heard that this past week from jeb bush who endorsed mitt romney. he said the primary needs to come to an end. jim demint the south carolina senator, who hasn't endorsed in the race, would like to see it come to an end, randi. read more gut check every day on

racial tensions in the city grow. a cnn investigation shows this is a city and police department steepd in racial issues. that story, next. welcome back. 6:37 here on the east coast. get you caught up

created one centralized spam reporting service. so the next time you get one of those annoying texts, just forward it 7726, which spells spam. the number will be placed in a centralized data base and

while filming "a place in the sun" the chemistry as you can see here, helped the movie win six oscars. the pictures were released on the one year anniversary of taylor's death. the sanford police chief has temporarily stepped aside after questions arose after the investigation in the trayvon martin shooting. the case prompted a closer look now at the police department's history, as tom foreman reports this is a city and police department steeped in racial tension. >> reporter: you're looking at a youtube video that caused a sensation in sanford, florida in 2010 long before the trayvon martin shooting. it shows a young white man punching a black man in the back of the head outside a bar, sending him to the hospital. and yet, police made no move to arrest the assailant until the video sparked a public cry for action. why? many believe it was because that young man, justin collison was the son of a police officer. he paid medical bills and ended up with a year's probation, but that did little to ease tension, especially in the african american community. the naacp is right now collecting allegations of such incidents. beatings, intimidation and worse. few appear to be corroborated at this point, but they clearly resonate with at least part of the community. >> we've heard stories with regard to this department of case after case where black men have been killed, or attacked and people have walked free, even though those black men were not armed. >> many young people have been shot and killed, some by policemens and when they investigate, then they never get back with the parents and it's nothing, it's not due process, it's just injustice to the city. >> in 2005, an african american teen was shot and killed as he drove away from two security guards with ties to the sanford police department. the guards said he tried to run over them and they fired in self defense. they were arrested, the shooter charged with manslaughter, they were cleared of the charges. the city has tried to address concern over such incidents, has made changes to the police department specifically for that purpose, and some local folks admit they have seen some progress. indeed, the current police chief came on the jobless than a year ago with a mandate to improve relations with the minority community in the wake of the collison attack. still events suggest there is a long way to go. tom foreman, cnn, washington. we will continue to watch that trayvon martin case throughout the morning here on cnn. artifacts from the most famous shipwreck of all time are going on the auction
