here s more of what he had to tell me. it s reported that senator paul was blindsided. i think that is an unfair characterization of how this transpired. that s not how i would describe it, that s not how it has been described to me. were they facing each other? it s my understanding, yes. did senator paul strike blows with mr. boucher, dr. boucher? not that i m aware of. a long-time neighbor of paul who invited us into his house presents an entirely different picture. well, personally, i think it s a tremendous, tremendously lame excuse for what took place that day. in a statement from earlier this week paul s office absolutely derided the defense contention this was stemming from a long-standing dispute. it said that the two men had not spoken for years and the first time that senator paul spoke to

why it would not be right to give him the death penalty. but none of them are mandatory. in other words, all 12 could agree that he showed remorse, and they could still give him the death penalty. so what it really is is the court giving them a clear outline of what the defense contention is as to why he should not be given the death penalty and allowing them to check off various factors, which then would become part of a larger discussion in the jury room about whether this case is an appropriate case for the death penalty, and obviously, when that discussion was over even those jurors who thought that he demonstrated some remorse concluded in the end he deserved the death penalty. and, jean casarez, in past cases like this those mitigating factors have resulted in a jury deciding that the individual should not be put to death? exactly right, because it s a balancing test. once they get the aggravating factors and the mitigating factors they have to balance it
yes p. the person on top was ground and pounding the person on the bottom. that s what it looked like. john good describing zimmerman on the bottom. the prosecution knew this was going to come out. why did they call good to the stand? what s your thought. they really had no choice to do it. this person was an eyewitness to the case. the prosecution really has a duty to put forth all the evidence and for them a lot of these witnesses have turned into a might nmare for them. this witness supports the defense contention that mr. z zimmerman was getting beat up. that s a difficult thing to overcome for the prosecution. they really had no which i say. they put other witnesses on who were not helpful at tend of the day. they were placed in a position
jackson s personal physicians could be in the hands of the jury next week. court had to be recessed after jackson s nurse, cherilyn lee became overcome with emotion. she is on the defense that had called six witnesses. one of them was dr. alan metzger who treated him on and off for about 20 years. he testified the last time he spoke with jackson in april of 2009. he asked me about intravee nuzz sleep medicine. did he happen to mention the name of the medicine? i think he used the word juice. i don t think he heard the word of a specific medication. kristen dahlgren is outside the courthouse. what else did dr. metzger have to say? reporter: he is part of this defense contention that michael jackson or the defense trying to prove that michael jackson was an addict who was desperate for sleep, would have done anything, including perhaps taking those
