Now to the abc news exclusive and to the brand new shock waves tonight in the George Zimmerman case. After that juror broke her silence, telling our Robin Roberts that George Zimmerman got away with murder. For myself, hes guilty, because the evidence shows hes guilty. Tonight she still stands by that verdict, saying she followed the law. But when Trayvon Martins mother heard that, she had her own reaction, and so did George Zimmermans team. Abcs dan harris on the fallout tonight. Reporter searing and deeply personal comments today from the mother of trayvon martin. Your son, you will never kiss again. Im just asking you to wrap your mind around that. Wrap your mind around, no prom for trayvon. No High School Graduation for trayvon. No college for trayvon. Reporter hours earlier, Sabryna Fulton issued a statement in response to this abc news exclusive interview with juror b29, known only as maddy. Who said she initially fought to convict George Zimmerman of murder, before concluding the law simply did not support that verdict. George zimmerman got away with murder. Reporter fulton called the jurors comments devastating and a confirmation of what we already knew in our hearts to be true, that George Zimmerman literally got away with murder. In philadelphia today, she also seemed to specifically address this comment from juror b29. Im hurting as much as Trayvon Martins mother, because theres no way that any mother should feel that pain. Nobody is hurting worse than me as a parent. Me as a mom. Reporter a very different take today from one of George Zimmermans defense attorneys, who drew special attention to this exchange. For myself, hes guilty, because the evidence shows hes guilty. Hes guilty of . Killing trayvon martin. But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you cant find you cant say hes guilty. Defense attorney mark omara singling out that response on his blog, to applaud juror b29 for going with her head rather than her heart, saying that was the job of a juror. Today, Trayvon Martins mom vowing to continue the fight, saying we cannot let this happen to anybody elses child. Thank you. We do move on to the dramatic images caught on tape, the horrific train crash in spain, and tonight were hearing from an american passenger describing the moment the train barrelled off the tracks as it collided with that barrier there. Tonight, this image, 18yearold stephen ward from utah being helped at the crash scene. Nick schifrin in spain for us again tonight. Reporter out of the charred twisted wreckage, somehow stephen ward walked out alive. Ive never been to hell, but its probably a pretty accurate description. Reporter ward was in the last car. He noticed on a display panel the train was racing 110 miles an hour, double what it should have been doing. Then it started to happen. Honestly, i just remember moving sideways. Reporter tilting to the side, he first thought nothing of it. Then suddenly he was thrown flying through the air. The last thing i remember is the feeling of leaving the tracks and i blacked out in midair. A lot of people were screaming. A lot of people were crying. Reporter when he opened his eyes, this is him, bloodied and stunned. Ive seen a picture of myself that they took. I look like the walking dead. Completely covered in blood. It was truly gruesome. Stephen was sitting at the end of this car right here, and you can see how blown out that side is and how consumed by fire. You can also see here the force with which this train hit the wall. First that door blown off, and then down here, this is an iron railing. Its been completely destroyed. Tonight police are questioning the engineer, seen here right after the crash, for driving the train too quickly. But stephen casts no blame. He just feels lucky and grateful to the man who saved him. I dont know who it was that pulled me from the train or helped me down, but if i did, i would say thank you and give him a great big hug. Reporter nick schifrin, abc news, santiago de compostela. Thanks to nick. Turning now to the weather developing this evening, not one, but two tropical storms gathering strength at this hour. Storms moving towards both sides of the country there. Dorian from the east, flossie from the west. Ginger zee is tracking both and both are gaining strength. Yes, its an active season already. We have to focus on the first one, dorian in the atlantic. Still 2,000some miles away from florida. So, remember, we have a long time to see what happens here. Its moving west at 22 miles per hour. Last check, it was weakening, so it will become a depression. This is the thing, though. Once it gets into that water, we have to watch for what happens after that. Because it could affect the east coast. But its got a lot of dry air, the brown in front of the storm will be one of three different speed bumps. And out to the west tonight . And out to the west, this is more imminent. Hawaii, its been 20 years since theyve had a direct hit. And it looks like theyll have at least a tropical depression coming over the big island, on monday. Well be following it through the weekend and giving you updates as it becomes available. Could be bigtime mudslides. Any rain could be trouble. Thank you, ginger. Overseas to egypt and brand new protests, tens of thousands of supporters and opponents of ousted president mohamed morsi, hurling stones as Police Used Tear Gas aimed at the crowd. Prosecutors investigating charges of murder and conspiracy against him, along with hamas, before he became president. And tonight a bold headline for the american who revealed this countrys surveillance program, edward snowden, still in hiding in the moscow airport. Tonight weve learned attorneygeneral eric holder has tried to assure russian authorities that america will not seek the Death Penalty and will not torture snowden if hes returned to the u. S. Holder offers to issue snowden a new passport immediately so he can make his way back to american soil. Meanwhile, back here at home and to another explosive scandal all this week here, so much attention on a man who wants to be new york citys mayor, anthony weiner. His wife by his side this week as he admitted to improper behavior. Tonight all eyes on another man in san diego who is already mayor. He too is accused of bad behavior. So many women coming forward theyve set up a 1800 number. Tonight that man saying hes sorry, but hes not leaving. Abcs david wright on the uproar. The behavior i have engaged in for many years is wrong. Reporter beset by allegations hes made unwanted sexual advances on at least seven women. He asked me to work without my underwear on. Ran his finger up my cheek. He groped me on my backside inappropriately. Reporter today san diego mayor bob filner apologized. Beginning on august 5th, i will be entering a behavior counselling clinic to undergo two weeks of intensive therapy. Reporter but he ignored calls to resign. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi this week lumped filner together with new yorks anthony weiner, saying these guys just dont get it. They dont have a clue. I must become a better person and my hope is that by coming a better person, i put myself in a position to someday be forgiven. Reporter filner is still under huge pressure. Local Law Enforcement has set up a hotline, hoping other victims will come forward. Today the City Attorney served him with a subpoena. His fiancee has called off their engagement. Therapy wont be enough to redeem him. I think therapy is what you do when you have a personal problem. When you are mayor of san diego, and you have a problem of that degree, you resign. Reporter polls show 70 of san diegans agree. David wright, abc news, los angeles. David, thank you. From boston tonight, a stunning turn in the case against boston mob boss whitey bulger. Bulgers lawyer indicating that its possible his client might take the stand to testify. Hes charged in connection with 19 murders, along with racketeering, money laundering, and extortion. The prosecution rested its case today, defense starts next week. Tonight an International Manhunt is under way for some of the most notorious jewel thieves in the world. Striking again, this time a prison break. Weve shown you their crimes before, right here in the u. S. Look at this, the robbery overseas, driving their getaway cars right through the mall. 120 heists across 20 countries, tonight abcs john donvan on their brand new breakout. Reporter theyre wanted everywhere. Smashandgrab is their style. Always jewelry. But today, they smashed and grabbed to get one of their own right out of prison. Outside switzerland, where one of the pink panther gang was serving time for a 2009 robbery. Today, two vehicles crashed through the perimeter, pushed through layers of barbed wire, and then got ladders up over the last of the wire, so their guy could climb to them. And so, the pink panther gang strikes again, as it has since at least the early 90s. Most of the time defeating security, fooling the cops, getting the loot. Theres hardly a rich country left where they havent pulled a heist, including the u. S. Two months ago theyre suspected of hitting a hotel in cannes during the Film Festival when everyone else was looking at red carpets. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewels that time. Security cameras get some good getaways like the other guys in london. But the pink panther oneupped that, driving luxury cars into a mall in dubai and then driving out. The pink panther name comes from this scene in the Peter Sellers classic, return of the pink panther, where the jewel thieves hid their loot inside a jar of cold cream. These guys once did the same thing. Clever they are, but not nice. To date, the value of their take, in excess of half a billion dollars. John donvan, abc news, washington.

We spent so much on the candles and zappers, but it turns out there might be something you already have that works. Abcs linzie janis with us and we cant wait for this. Reporter david, were out here primetime for mosquitoes. Sun is setting, worse month of the year for bites. For all the money we spend trying to keep them away, turns out some of the best methods are also the cheapest. Everyone has their own method. We have a lot of mosquitoes. Reporter zappers, homemade traps. Witches brews of oil and alcohol. Clove oil. Reporter even this woman, putting scented dryer shets in her hair. Im getting ready to go outside. Reporter a dizzying array. Enter expert randy gaugler. It turns out mosquitoes can smell you, and, yes, its true, some people are more attractive than others. And has to do with body chemistry. Most attractive . If youre pregnant, youre giving off 21 more carbon dioxide. Also your body temperature is a degree and a half higher. New evidence showing that drinking beer makes you more attractive. Reporter yes, beer. Theres also the delicious theory that it can could be your blood type. What are the best weapons to avoid getting bitten . Bug spray. We tried it. This is my hand unprotected and swarmed. Versus this, my hand sprayed with deet. And be sure to cover your legs and especially your ankles. Some mosquitoes are low flyers. And what about those candles. Citronella . Citronella has a limited effect. The effect is shortterm. If you have a breeze, its blowing away from you and wont be very effective. Reporter finally, instead of bug zappers and ultra sonic devices, you might already have a more simple weapon in your house, a fan. Turn it up, sit in the path, it works. Mosquitoes arent strong flyers. So another way to protect your backyard, make sure you dont have any standing water. Stay on top of your gutters, empty things like childrens pools or bird baths. One more thing, david, when you go outside, avoid wearing dark colors because mosquitoes see them the best. Im still stuck on the beer and your blood type.

Jasmine, my god, look at you. Your place is homey. Blanchett now joins a long list of actresses whose characters have been the driving force behind woody allens films. Over and over again woody allen himself has credited diane keaton with changing exactly who it is he writes for. Oh, well, lateeda. I used to always write from the point of view of the male, and then i met diane keaton, and i got a different perspective. I saw a lot of things through her eyes and i started writing for women. I remember the first time i saw annie hall, and i saw it many times, i just couldnt believe. A, i fell in love with her, wanted to be her. He finds women, understandably, infinitely fascinating. I would say to myself every day before i went to work, dont screw this up. Blanchett already being celebrated for her new role. Theres a song, you know the song. I always wanted to do something with my life. Never had the energy. Penelope cruz won oscar when it was her turn. In woody allens Vicki Christina barcelona. He has written some of the best characters of all time. And i love how well he knows neurotic females. Blanchett told me shes noticed there havent been too many leading women so far this summer in all the super hero movies. I have three boys and ive seen so many super hero robot films in the last three weeks. Its sort of mindboggling. Now its her turn, not as a super he super hero, but part of a champion list of women that have come before her. To be in the same sentence as those women, its one of those experiences as an actor you know it going to change you, hopefully for the better. So we choose actress Cate Blanchett who has taken a woody allen script to new heights joining so many of the women before her. Finally a new movie than all the super hero movies she took her sons to see. Ill see you later tonight on 20 20. For diane sawyer and all of us here, have a good evening.
