0 hello, i'm jake tapper in washington, d.c. welcome to this special edition of "cnn newsroom." the not guilty verdict definitely does not mean zimmerman is in the clear. martin savidge is live in sanford, florida. martin. >> jake, there are a lot of things that still need to be resolved in this particular case, even though we've had a rendering of not guilty. for instance, civil suits are likely. not likely, you can guarantee they will be coming. mark o'mara, the defense attorney understands that. they will be ready and prepared. on top of that the perjury charge placed against shellie zimmerman for apparently lying under oath, that needs to be resolved. then there's the question whether the prosecution make how acted improperly during the trial and did not hand over all the discovery. the defense is asking for sanctions there. then on top of that, of course, is the issue of civil rights and whether the dealt of justice will pursue charges that way. there's still a lot to be worked out. >> martin savidge, what has life been like for george zimmerman, if you've talked to anybody in his legal group or family and friends. what do they think life for him will be like? >> it is an amazing question to ponder. george was the first to jump up when the jury was brought back in. once the verdict was rendered, it shifted. it moved back to the family of sybrina and tracy martin, because the parents of trayvon martin they suffer a grief now. but his attorneys will tell you he'll never have a normal life again. he's in hiding still and will have to remain there. can he get a job? how will he get a job? death threats against him. people say they will seek their own justice. they don't see in any way george zimmerman goes back to a life he had before all of this. of course he must live with the fact he killed a 17-year-old. that is without question, regardless of the justification the defense said he had. i wouldn't want to be in his shoes. >> all right. martin savidge in sanford, florida, thank you very much. the state criminal case is over but zimmerman's legal troubles are far from over. i'm going to bring in civil legal analyst and attorney from sanford, florida, but before i do i do want to read part of the statement from president obama just issued moments ago, a statement about the verdict in the george zimmerman murder trial. he said, "we're a nation of laws and a jury has spoken. he says he knows the case elicited strong passions. he says the way to honor trayvon martin is to ask ourselves are we doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our communities, ask are we doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across the country on a daily basis. finally, he says, we need to ask ourselves as individuals and a society how we can prevent future tragedies like this. that's for every citizens, the president says, in a statement issued moments ago. now to sanford, florida, for some commentary on the case. mark, what do you think are the next big legal -- he's not there. apologies. we're going to take a quick break and come back with more on the george zimmerman verdict and reaction across the country. we'll be right back. uh-oguess what day it is!is?? huh...anybody? julie! hey...guess what day it is?? ah come on, i know you can hear me. mike mike mike mike mike... what day is it mike? ha ha ha ha ha ha! leslie, guess what today is? it's hump day. whoot whoot! ronny, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? i'd say happier than a camel on wednesday. hump day!!! yay!! get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could saveou fifteen percent or more.
